ABSTRACT:
A processor and a method for executing VLIW instructions by first fetching a VLIW instruction and then identifying from option bits encoded in a first one of the instructions within the fetched VLIW instruction packet which, if any, of the remaining instructions within the VLIW instruction are to be executed in the same execution cycle as the first instruction. Finally, executing the first instruction and any remaining instructions identified from the encoded option bits.
