Abstract

A system and method for compressing and decompressing a binary code image includes preprocessing the image to separately group together the operation codes and the operands that make up the binary code image into a columnar format. The resultant preprocessed data is then compressed using any one of a plurality of compression codes. In turn, the resultant compressed image may be stored in a memory element or transferred using a transmission channel to a different device. The compressed image is then decompressed to reconstruct the binary code image.
