These are not strictly analogous since a PLD may be used to impelement a VLIW processor. For this discussion the intent is that the VLIW be implemented in ASIC style technology ; either gate array or ...

V. IMPLEMENTATION RESULTS The BRESCA processor is an array of 24 BRESCA cells. Each cell is a individual processor, running its own program. The BRESCA cell is a 9 issue slot VLIW processor. The array ...
