Miloš Bečvář, Stanislav Kahánek · 2007
VLIW-DLX is graphical simulator of simple VLIW processor. It is targeted to be used in undergraduate computer architecture courses. VLIW-DLX uses similar GUI to well-known WinDLX simulator and its ISA uses scalar DLX instructions as the building blocks. Simulator is implemented in Java and allows future modifications of the architecture including instruction set expansion. Paper discusses choices made in developing VLIW-DLX and its intended educational use.
