Hello Jecel, your work was just what I had in mind when writing about this. How are you doing? Any major progress? I'd really love to see you succeed, I think what you were working on is one of the most interesting developments in computing.

We are still moving forward and hope to have interesting things to show soon. For any other readers, my Morphle Engine (aka SiliconSqueak 5) processor design has many elements in common with EDGE (and so with Dataflow as well).

I found the reference to Windows running on Microsoft's E2 processor (which in turn has links to relevant papers):

I should also have mentioned The Mill architecture as an example of dealing with code as blocks of instructions instead of each one separately. In this case they get a higher fetch rate for their VLIW machine by starting execution from the middle of the block and fetching both up and down at the same time. So they have two program counters which get set to the same value on every jump or call.

The point is that inside every advanced processor instructions are handled in groups and if you expose that to the compiler you can save transistors and energy.
