From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Very Long Instruction Word
  
      (VLIW) Used to describe an {assembly language} {instruction
      set} implemented using {horizontal microcode}.   A horizontally
      encoded instruction word which encodes four or more operations
      might be considered "very long".
  
      VLIW architectures are sometimes classified as a type of
      static {superscalar} architecture.   They are static in the
      sense that which units operate in parallel is determined by
      the instruction rather than by dynamic scheduling at run time.
  
      Producing code for VLIW machines is difficult; {trace
      scheduling} is a helpful compiler technique.
  
      The most famous VLIW machine was built by (the late)
