Main memory is already read a block at a time anyway, to get the gains we all expect for space locality. I'm imagining the blocks (probably equivalent to memory pages, in practice) would be kept uncompressed in L1/2 cache memory, with an additional layer of cache added on top for compressed blocks. Then, a near jump would be a read on a low-cache hit, and a decode on a high-cache hit, while a long jump would be a page-fault+decode as usual. |
