Abstract
A system for executing instructions is presented. In some embodiments, among others, the system comprises functional units, local multiplexers, local register files, and a global register file, which are communicatively coupled to each other and arranged to accommodate shortened instruction words in multiple-issue processors. These components are arranged to permit greater access to registers by instructions, thereby permitting reduction of the word length, as compared to conventional very long instruction word (VLIW) processors.
