An instruction-set-aware method for reducing transitions on an irredundant address
bus comprises receiving a first address for communication to a memory on an irredundant
address bus. The method retrieves an instruction from a memory location indicated
by the first address, transmits the instruction on a data bus, and determines a
category of the instruction. The method predicts a second address based, at least
in part, on the first address, the instruction, and the category of the instruction.
