HiDISC is a hierarchical decoupled instruction stream computer that has a compute processor, an access processer (which feeds operands from the cache to the compute processor), and a cache management processor (which can prefetch data from memory into the cache). HiDISC is designed to address the problem of increasing memory latency while taking advantage of instruction-level parallelism.
