Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for accessing an instruction that is to be executed by a control agent within a computing system may include decompressing the instruction by replacing each of one or more zero-symbol run-length fields in the instruction with as many continuous zero symbols as its corresponding value and removing one or more non-zero-symbol run-length fields from the instruction. The method may also include determining that the instruction is spatial-delta-encoded based on a compression data header associated with the instruction, performing spatial-delta decoding on the instruction in response to the determination by orderly determining a spatial-delta-decoded value of each bit in the instruction, and causing the instruction to be sent to the control agent.
