Abstract
The software which produces a shuffled bit stream which bit stream allows for a simplified cache layout. This object is met using computer software which includes code for receiving a compiled and linked object module produced by a compiler and/or linker and code for swizzling the compiled and linked software to produce a second object module. The second object module is suitable for being deswizzled upon reading from a cache memory using a cache structure whose output bus wires are not crossed.
