Movidius VPUs achieve significant performance at low power with the merging of three architectural elements to provide sustained high-performance on deep learning and computer vision workloads, namely an array of programmable
VLIW vector processors with an instruction set tuned to computer vision and deep learning workloads; a collection of hardware accelerators supporting image signal processing, computer vision, and deep learning inferences; and commonly accessible intelligent memory fabric that minimises data movement on chip.
ADRES [58], designed for Software Defined Radio applications, is a reconfigurable processor with tightly coupled
VLIW processor.

VLIW architecture," in Proceedings of the IEEE Recent Advances in Intelligent Computational Systems (RAICS '11), pp.
A processor may support wide-issue, heterogeneous
VLIW ISA and support multiple chained operators.
So, clustering becomes a common trend in the design of
VLIW architecture due to its ability to alleviate power-, thermal-, and complexity-related problems of unclustered
VLIW architecture.
C64x+ DSP is an advanced
VLIW core, which can be used to perform complex data processing.
It is equipped with 1 MByte internal RAM and has a Very Long Instruction Word (
VLIW) architecture.
TRIPS includes a new "block-oriented execution" scheme that sounds suspiciously like the very long instruction word (
VLIW) processing techniques that IBM's supercomputing gurus have been playing around with since the mid-1980s.
Its open CoSy compiler development system gives compiler developers the ability to achieve a similar leading edge position in the construction of better and faster optimizing compilers for architectures ranging from 4-bit DSPs to 256-bit
VLIW processors.
Texas Instruments'
VLIW processor, called the most intricate DSP architecture available in 2001, was cited for the design techniques and manufacturing capabilities that lets the company offer a 600 MHz machine.
[19], a TriMedia
VLIW CPU was used to test the throughput of the finalists in the ECB mode using varying amounts of interleaving.
