Patent abstract

A custom processor is adapted for performing at least one predetermined application. The instruction sequence for the custom processor is compressed by performing at least one identification process on the instructions of the instruction sequence, in order to identify relationships between the contents of the bit positions in the instructions. A compressed instruction sequence then includes one compressed instruction corresponding to each instruction of the predetermined instruction sequence, with each compressed instruction comprising a reduced number of bits, based on the identified relationships between the contents of said bit positions in said instructions of said predetermined instruction sequence.
