We propose a method for compressing programs in embedded processors where instruction memory size dominates cost. A post-compilation analyzer examines a program and replaces commo...

Permutation is widely used in cryptographic algorithms. However, it is not well-supported in existing instruction sets. In this paper, two instructions, PPERM3R and GRP, are propo...
