	Very long instruction word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cydrome was a company producing VLIW numeric processors using ECL technology in the same timeframe (late-1980s).
		Bob Rau, founder of Cydrome, also joined HP after Cydrome failed.
		These two would lead computer architecture research within Hewlett-Packard during the 1990s.

		Cydrome was formed in 1983 and produced an impressive minisupercomputer that exploited parallelism by executing several instructions at once.
		However, Cydrome's management felt that the Encore machine was too costly and that Cydrome could make contributions in front-end design.
		Thus, Cydrome exhibited the classic top-down, or backward-integrating, flaw by devoting resources to developing something the company could have bought rather than concentrating on its principal field of expertise, which was the numeric portion of the machine.

	Venture Capital and Start-up Companies
		Cydrome and Multiflow were based on architectures that could execute more than one instruction in a particular clock cycle.
		Cydrome failed before they ever shipped their first system.
		Cydrome was backed by individual investors that did not have a lot of experience with high-tech product development.

	VLIW: old architecture of the new generation
		The first real VLIW computers were mini-supercomputers released at the beginning of 1980 by MultiFlow, Culler and Cydrome, but they didn't meet with much success.
		The first VLIW computer Cydrome Cydra-5 used a 256bit instruction and a special mode supporting a sequence of 6 40bit ops, that is why its compilers could generate a mixture of a parallel code and a serial one.
		While the VLIW-BM used several chips the Intel i860 could be considered the first VLIW processor based on a single chip.

	Very Long Instruction Word Processors (VLIW) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the 1970s, many attached array processors and dedicated signal processors used VLIW-like wide instructions in ROM to compute fast Fourier transforms and other algorithms.
		The first true VLIW machines were mini supercomputers in the early 1980s from three companies: Multiflow, Culler, and Cydrome.
		Cydrome's pioneering Cydra 5 also used a 256-bit instruction word, with a special mode that executed each instruction as a sequence of six 40-bit operations.

		The first commercial machines of the kind were mini-supercomputers developed by the companies Multiflow, Culler and Cydrome in the early 1980s.
		It had a special mode where each 6 opcodes in the instruction word could be executed sequentially - a technique that has been adopted by Intel now.
		The compiler technology from these endeavors were put to use when HP stepped into the VLIW research arena with Fisher (formerly of Multiflow) and Bob Rau (formerly of Cydrome) leading the effort.

		Prior to joining HP Labs, Rau co-founded Cydrome Inc. and was chief architect of the Cydra 5 mini-supercomputer, one of the first commercial VLIW products.
		Many of the central architectural and compiler ideas in the VLIW and EPIC style of computing were conceived of and developed by him.
		In 1984, prior to joining HP, Rau co-founded Cydrome Inc. and was the Chief Architect of the Cydra 5 mini-supercomputer, one of the very first commercial VLIW products.

	CYDROME LAUNCHES FIRST DIRECTED DATAFLOW MINISUPER... - Computer Business Review
		Claiming breakthroughs in Directed Dataflow vector processing and symmetrical multiprocessing with Unix System V, Cydrome Inc, Milpitas, California yesterday announced its first minisupercomputer as the Cydra 5 departmental supercomputer.
		Cydrome also says that unlike its competitors, as well as doing well on specific benchmarks, the machine performs well when running full-system workloads that include a heavy interactive input-output load as well as requiring numeric-intensive computation.
		The base Model 1200 configuration of one numeric, one input-output, one interactive and one service processor with console, 16Mb, disk and tape units is $549,000.
