Patent attributes
A methodology for populating multiple instruction words is provided. The methodology includes: creating a dependency graph of instruction nodes, each instruction node including at least one instruction operation; first assigning a first instruction node to a first instruction word; identifying a dependent instruction node that is directly dependent upon a result of the first instruction node; first determining whether the dependent instruction node requires any input from two or more sources that are outside of a predefined physical range of each other, the range being smaller than the full extent of the data path; and second assigning, in response to satisfaction of at least one predetermined criteria including a negative result of the first determining, the dependent instruction node to the first instruction word.
