Abstract
An effectively designed instruction set is the result of many considerations. These include not only obvious measures such as code size, performance and implementation cost, but also issues such as compatibility and especially design complexity.In an effort to reduce the design complexity, flexible or universal base designs have been used to realize various instruction sets or source problem requirements.Using either a dedicated or universal host, language oriented DEL architectures may offer some significant performance advantages over more traditional architectures.Keywords
