[ut.general] VLIW Seminar in Mechanical Engineering

koko@uthub.UUCP (09/28/87)

          The inaugural presentation for the fall UTME seminar  series
          will held on Tuesday, October 6th./1987 in MC252 (Mechanical
          Engineering) at 1300hrs.  (1:00pm).  The  topic  is  on  the
          latest architectural advances for minisupercomputers.


                     The Multiflow Trace Series Computers:
                    Trace Scheduling and VLIW Architectures

               By: Dr. Joseph Fisher, Vice-President and Founder
                        Multiflow Computer Incorporated

          Multiflow recently  introduced  uniprocessor  machines  that
          greatly    outperform    similarly    priced    vector   and
          multiprocessing  minisupercomputers  on  big,   real   world
          applications.   Multiflow   accomplishes   this  via  a  new
          architectural advance, VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) and
          a software-first Trace Scheduling compilers. This technology
          has the advantage of speeding up the whole  program  and  is
          transparent  to  the programmer. Thus the speed advantage is
          available to all users without special training  or  problem
          manipulation.  The  Trace  Scheduling/VLIW  combination  now
          offers engineers  and  scientists  the  most  cost-effective
          alternative for high speed computing.
