Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing technology was adopted in the Itanium processor.
VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) is a related but distinct architecture where instruction-level parallelism is encoded in long instruction words, whereas EPIC relies more on compiler-visible parallelism hints.
A direct translation of the English computing term 'Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing' (EPIC). The Japanese term is a calque, combining 明示的 (explicit), 並列 (parallel), 命令 (instruction), コンピューティング (computing), and 技術 (technology).
