Summary: 
A memory address allocation method for digital signal processors of indirect addressing with indexed auto-modification is proposed. At first, address auto-modification amounts for a given program are analyzed. And then, address allocation of program variables are moved and shifted so that both indexed and simple auto-modifications are effectively exploited. For further reduction in overhead codes, a memory address allocation method coupled with computational reordering is proposed. The proposed methods are applied to the existing compiler, and generated codes prove their effectiveness.
