The overview of VLIW will include a brief video from MultiFlow. In the early 1990s Philip Newell led a full-day Seminar in High Performance Computing for the St. Louis Chapter. A key point was that the technologies then used in Supercomputers would over time flow down to everyday processors. VLIW was one of the technologies discussed. During the 1980s and early 1990s, Mr. Newell was highly involved in McDonnell Douglas' efforts to take best advantage of high performance computing technologies.
