Processor for executing highly efficient VLIW instructions

摘要

A 32-bit instruction 50 is composed of a 4-bit format field 51, a 4-bit operation field 52, and two 12-bit operation fields 59 and 60. The 4-bit operation field 52 can only include (1) an operation code "cc" that indicates a branch operation which uses a stored value of the implicitly indicated constant register 36 as the branch address, or (2) a constant "const". The content of the 4-bit operation filed 52 is specified by a format code provided in the format field 51.
