一种微处理机结构,利用翻译程序层将超长指令字(VLIW)结构的硬件和任何一种指令集隔离开来。不论第一个出现的芯片是否立即能获得成功这种基于翻译程序层(code-morphing layer)的新原理可能会改变计算机的面貌。 新近成立的Transm-eta公司(位于美国加州的Santa Clara)经过数年非同寻常的秘密开发,终于推出该公司的Crusoe微处理机系列产品,并引起了公众的广泛注意。“程序翻译(Code morphng)”是该公司创意的 A microprocessor architecture that uses a translation program layer to isolate the hardware of a very long instruction word (VLIW) architecture from any instruction set. A new principle based on the code-morphing layer may change the look of the computer, regardless of whether the first chip present immediately succeeds. The newly formed Transm-eta company (Santa Clara, CA), after years of unusual secret development, has finally introduced the company’s Crusoe microprocessor family of products and has drawn the public’s attention. “Code morphng” is the company’s idea
