Abstract :
Program code size has become a critical design constraint of embedded systems. Code compression is one of the approaches to reduce the program code size; it results in smaller memories and reduced cost of the chip. In this paper, long immediate encoding of compressed transport triggered architecture instructions is optimized to further improve the code density. Six applications taken from different application domains are used for benchmarking.
