Write properties of EPIC processor.
EPIC
(Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) is a computer architecture that
combines the best feature of RISC and CISC.
A EPIC processor has the following properties:
- EPIC does
not use fixed with instruction, rather aims at parallel processing of instructions.
- Programs
must be written using sequential semantics with explicitly laid out
parallelism.
- It uses a
bundle of complex instructions that in addition to basic instruction also contain
information on how to run the instruction in parallel with other instructions.
