Abstract
In this paper we present the CONDEX machine model: a VLIW architecture supporting the conditional execution concept. The model consists of m ultiple and independent functional units that can operate in parallel. By interpreting the parallel code derived from a suite of test progra ms, we evaluated the performance of some CONDEX machine configurations . In addition to the description of this new architecture model, the p aper presents the main aspects of the project.
