An information processing apparatus is provided with a executable instruction extracting unit which is reconfigured by means of a executable instruction extracting unit reconfiguration unit with reference to a compressed/executable instruction correspondence table optimized for the respective executable program, which has been made up with an compressed instruction. The compressed instruction is extended into the corresponding executable instructions by means of the executable instruction extracting unit as reconfigured.

Information processing apparatus provided with an optimized executable instruction extracting unit for extending compressed instructions

An instruction sequence optimization apparatus optimizes programs used in an information processing system that includes a program memory for storing programs, and a processing unit for fetching the programs from the program memory via an instruction bus. The apparatus includes an instruction sequence analyzing unit for analyzing mutual dependence relations between respective instructions constituting the program, and an instruction sequence modifying unit for modifying sequences of the instructions insofar as the mutual dependence relations analyzed by the instruction sequence analyzing unit are not influenced, to thus reduce Hamming distances between bit sequences appearing on the instruction bus when the instructions are transferred from the program memory to the processing unit.
