File with 64 32-bits registers.

They are named R0, R1, R2, ..., R63.

R0

The value of R0 is always 0.

Access

The VLIW processor has a special access mode. "Reads" are carried out in the first half of a clock cycle and "writes" in the second one. Thus, WAR hazards are avoided. The Superscalar processor doesn't need this mechanism because the ROB makes this job.
