• For example, this method makes it possible to load an immediate value of the size of a machine word into a processor register, which is not feasible if each instruction is limited to the size of a machine word. This flexibility raises instruction decoding needs.
• These three methods all raise hardware complexity. Before executing any operations in parallel, the processor must verify that the instructions have no interdependencies.
• In contrast, VLIW executes operations in parallel, based on a fixed schedule, determined when programs are compiled. Since determining the order of execution of operations (including which operations can execute simultaneously) is handled by the compiler, the processor does not need the scheduling hardware that the three methods described above require. Thus, VLIW CPUs offer more computing with less hardware complexity (but greater compiler complexity) than do most superscalar CPUs.

• why not make the processor more application specific? And what would the benefit be?
