摘要:
A microprocessor architecture comprises an instruction decoding network for decoding in a first mode partially suppressed opcodes of a sequence of instructions, the opcodes comprising a first part containing parameters being invariant for each opcode of the sequence and a second part comprising a flag indicating an end of the sequence, the first part being suppressed for all opcodes of the sequence except a first opcode of the sequence. Further, a method of instruction decoding in a microprocessor architecture comprising an instruction decoding network for decoding in a first mode partially suppressed opcodes of a sequence of instructions, and in a second mode uncompressed instructions comprises decoding an opcode of an instruction in the second mode when the instruction is not compressible; and decoding an opcode of an instruction in the first mode when the instruction is compressible.
