摘要
A method for encoding opcodes For low-power instruction Fetching is described. To reduce the switching activity from opcode changes in the instruction fetch logic, opcodes are assigned so that more frequently consecutive instruction pairs have a smaller Hamming distance between their opcodes. The experimental result shows that a switching activity reduction of 37.4 - 66.7% is achievable over a naive encoding method.
