One family of these are described as VLIW, including the Itanium one.
One family of these are described as VLIW, including the Itanium one. They can be superscalar or SMT. Many of them use pipelining, or the breaking down of execution into stages including fetch/decode and using the arithmetic (*) logic unit. They use fast pieces of memory called registers, and high performance ones have large caches. For 10 points, name this core part of a computer that does the majority of computations, which have clock frequencies ranging from megahertz to gigahertz.
