  • Abstract
    Instruction level parallelism (ILP) extraction for multicluster VLIW processors is a very hard task. In this paper, we propose a retargetable architecture that can exploit ILP and thread level parallelism jointly, thus allowing an easier parallelism extraction and improving the performance with respect to traditional multicluster VLIW processors.
