People who are interested in these issues might be interested in
looking at the Mill architecture. <https://millcomputing.com/>
The TLDR is: The mill is a family of statically scheduled chips
with significant differences in number and type of functional
units. Using them to best effect falls on the compiler and a
post compiler phase called the specializer which prepares the
program for specific chip.
The web site has quite a bit about the technology, including
videos of public presentations of the technology.
Full disclosure: I worked with the Mill designers and
implementers for a short period of time. I didn't think I was
contributing very much so I dropped out, but I still think their
project is interesting and wish it success.
Cheers - Bill
