So if I understand correctly, the SAOL compiler will do all the compilation
and instruction scheduling stuff for the Trimedia!!!!?
I've heard Philips spend many man-year on the Trimedia compiler, because
instruction scheduling for a VLIW processor isn't easy. When do you plan to
finish your software?
