Abstract
A computer system and method are described having a single pointer for a branch target instruction and multiple pointers and instruction parts for non-branch target instructions. All instructions, except branch target instructions are divided and stored in different location within a memory. A tag is used to identify a variable boundary between first and second halves of the memory space, word by word. The first half of the memory space contains V of H parts of the instructions and the second half of the memory space contains the H-V parts. The parts in the first and second halves of the memory space can be compressed and decompressed in parallel.
