Abstract

In this paper we propose instruction encoding techniques for embedded system design, which encode immediate fields of instructions to reduce the size of an instruction memory. Although our proposed techniques require an additional decoder for the encoded immediate values, experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our techniques to reduce the chip area
