Abstract
A data processor () includes an instruction cache () and a secondary cache (). The instruction cache () has a plurality of cache lines. Each of the plurality of cache lines stores a first plurality of bits () corresponding to at least one instruction and a second plurality of bits () associated with the execution of the at least one instruction. The secondary cache () is coupled to the instruction cache () and stores cache lines from the instruction cache () by storing the first plurality of bits () and a third plurality of bits () corresponding to the second plurality of bits (). The third plurality of bits () is fewer in number than the second plurality of bits ().
