ABSTRACT:
A method for compressing a set of microcode to be utilized within a data processing system is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a set of compiled microcode is parsed into multiple microcode segments, wherein each of these microcode segments is of equal length. Each of the microcode segments is then individually compressed by utilizing a data-compression routine. Next, all of these compressed microcode segments are concatenated to yield a set of compressed executable microcode. Finally, the starting address for each of the compressed microcode segments is stored in an indexer. By so doing, the required memory for storing the compressed executable microcode is reduced.
