Abstract
An instruction-set-aware method for reducing transitions on an irredundant address bus comprises receiving a first address for communication to a memory on an irredundant address bus. The method retrieves an instruction from a memory location indicated by the first address, transmits the instruction on a data bus, and determines a category of the instruction. The method predicts a second address based, at least in part, on the first address, the instruction, and the category of the instruction.
