Reflexive utilization of descriptors to reconstitute computer instructions which are Huffman-like encoded

摘要

A method of and apparatus for encoding computer program instructions and data greatly reduces the total storage requirements. Upon compiling each computer program segment, statistics are generated regarding the frequency of use of each unique program operator and each unique program operand. The operators and operands are encoded using the information theoretic encoding technique. A conversion table is also prepared which enables the object computer to translate the encoded operands and operators during that time when the computer program segment is being executed. Apparatus within the object computer decodes the encoded operands and operators using the conversion tables enabling execution of the computer program segment.
