| 1. 4stack Processor |
| Research project for high performance, low cost computing. Uses stack based instructions for a 4-way VLIW processor. Implemented in current technology, it would outrun high-end DSPs (TMS 320C6x, TigerSHARC), and let the full application run on one processor, with no further RISC core. |

| 7. Enumera, Inc. |
| Goal: dominate very low cost, low power, single core CPU market, and have the only ultra-high-end supercomputer on-a-chip system. Because the CPU core is so small, it is possible to put 1000s of cores and memory in one IC chip package. |

| 12. IBM Research: VLIW |
| Very-Long Instruction Word architectures: an alternative way to organize processors. Instead of the trend toward hardware making complex decisions for scheduling machine-level instructions in programs, VLIW systems do scheduling at compile time. |
