With its ability to integrate coding into larger words and fewer lines of instructions, VLIW has become extremely useful in its applications today. Today, multimedia applications are becoming very advanced with things like Dolby Audio, video players and video games. With VLIW being what it is, offers special embedded software features for many of these multimedia types. However, followed by its simpleness in architecture is its extremely complicated software compilers having to advancely check the instructions to allow such paralellism. An example of how the compiler goes about combing machine instructions, can be found right here through this user example.
