ABSTRACT:
A method for code compression of a program, the method comprising separating code from data. Software transformations necessary to make address mappings between compressed and uncompressed space are introduced into the code. Statistics are obtained about frequency of occurrence instructions, wherein said statistics include frequency of occurrence of two consecutive instructions. The program is parsed to identify occurrence of instructions or instruction pairs. The identified instructions are replaced with an address to a compressed bus-word table. An address mapping is generated from uncompressed address to compressed addresses.
