Abstract
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.
