It could be. But Terje screwed up, he's supposed to give you a funny yet fake answer. Seriously, have you looked at VLIW instruction encoding? Did you try googling something like "vliw implementation dependent"? The answer is on the first page... -- greg

I guess they mean something different by "the same architecture" than people usually do when talking about computers. So, to know what that line meant, one would have to know the context - in the book where you read that sentence, what meaning did they give to an architecture? Was it a specific kind of machine, like "an IBM 360" or "a 386- compatible microprocessor", or was it more general, for example, "a parallel machine", "NUMA", "decoupled microarchitecture", and so on. Different implementations of the Von Neumann "architecture" certainly exist that are not binary-compatible. So I can't give you an answer, since I'm not looking at the book you saw that line in.

I've always thought lecturers should ask questions that are answered only on the second page of the google results, so that students learn the vital skills necessary in today's fast paced work environment. Here's something for Ripunjay to ponder for his non-exam question. VLIW. VL ... IW. Hmmm. Best, Thomas -- Thomas Lindgren

Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLIW for a basic explanation. Wilco

Of which the first sentence is so misleading as to be effectively false. I can't be bothered to read further. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
