"Heads and Tails: A Variable-Length Instruction Format Supporting
Parallel Fetch and Decode"
<http://www.cag.lcs.mit.edu/scale/papers/hat-cases2001.pdf>
(PDF paper)
Heidi Pan and Krste Asanovic
To appear, International Conference on Compilers, Architecture,
and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES 2001),
Atlanta, GA, November 2001.
From the Abstract
The new head-and-tails (HAT) format splits each instruction into a
fixed-length head and a variable-length tail, and packs heads and tails
in separate sections within a larger fixed-length instruction bundle.
The paper evaluated 128-bit and 256-bit instruction bundles.
As an idle question, how hard would it be for cgen to support this?
