confusion understanding a processor?
The TMS320C6713 floating-point digital signal processor uses the C67x VelociTI AdvancedVery-Long Instruction Words (VLIW) CPU. The CPU fetches (256 bits wide) to supply up to eight 32-bit instructions to the eight functional units during every clock cycle. The VelociTI VLIWarchitecture also features variable-length execute packets; these variable-length executepackets are a key memory-saving feature, distinguishing the C67x CPU from other VLIWarchitectures.
So no, this is very specific to this particular processor from this vendor ... Others may have similar specs...
