Implementing conflict-free instructions for concurrent operation on a processor

A method for implementing very long instruction words (VLIW), the method comprising:

• receiving a first very long instruction word (VLIW) comprising a set of slot instructions corresponding to a set of functional units, wherein:
• each slot instruction includes an opcode identifying an operation to be performed by the set of functional units and value fields related to the operation, wherein a dedicated subset of the value fields include dedicated bits dedicated to the slot instruction and an allocable subset of the value fields include allocable bits allocable to other slot instructions;
• identifying the opcodes of each slot instruction;
• determining, based on the opcodes, which allocable bits are allocated to which slot instructions;
• and
• instructing each functional unit to perform an operation identified by a corresponding slot instruction using the corresponding dedicated bits and any allocable bits determined to be allocated to the slot instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions configured to execute on at least one computer processor to enable the at least one computer processor to:

• receive a VLIW comprising a set of slot instructions corresponding to a set of functional units, wherein:
• each slot instruction includes an opcode identifying an operation to be performed by the set of functional units and value fields related to the operation, wherein a dedicated subset of the value fields include dedicated bits dedicated to the slot instruction and an allocable subset of the value fields include allocable bits allocable to other slot instructions;
• identify the opcodes of each slot instruction;
• determine, based on the opcodes, which allocable bits are allocated to which slot instructions;
• and
• instruct each functional unit to perform an operation identified by a corresponding slot instruction using the corresponding dedicated bits and any allocable bits determined to be allocated to the slot instruction.
