How Many Instructions Can You Incode in a Bit?
There's an upper limit, basic, and that is the number of different instructions that you can incode in a bite. We take the first four bits loin tem and say, oh, it's a jump, tiny, whatever you want to call it. That means in the other four bites is the target of this jump. Then it's just in one bite. And lats i use only four bits in a bite to and cal the type of instruction. This is where, if you think about it, this is where the performance gets on stuff like this,. Because this lil i matching decoding, this is passig all that the v m does. So your goal is to shrink
