VLIW is not practical in time-sharing systems without completely rethinking the way cache works

Just curious as to how you would rethink the design of caches to solve this problem. Would you need a dedicated cache per execution context?

That's the simplest and most obvious way I can think of. I know the Mill folks were deeply into this space and probably invented something more clever but I haven't kept up with their research in many years.
