The Elbrus 2000, E2K (Russian: Эльбрус 2000) is a Russian 512-bit wide VLIW microprocessor developed by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST) and fabricated by TSMC.

It supports 2 instruction set architecture (ISA):

Thanks to its unique architecture Elbrus 2000 can execute up to 23 instructions per clock so even with its modest clock speed can compete with much faster clocked superscalar microprocessors especially when running in native VLIW mode.
