The (disconcertingly silent) Mill CPU company have a design talk that covers these concepts wonderfully in the general form, while explaining their various innovations.

e.g. this video describes how their VLIW compiler does partial compilation/'specialisation' to allow the same input to be consumed on machines with different variations of hardware features.

The sun will have burnt out before the Mill CPU actually ships, sadly. But at least that takes care of some radiation concerns...

I'd expected them to at least produce FPGA prototype or something
