چکیده
T oday’s most commercially significant microprocessors remain firmly wedded to legacy instruction set architectures, some of which are now over a decade old. Despite the admitted shortcomings of these ISAs, manufacturers are reluctant to develop radically new ones because they risk losing the commercial advantage of their product’s existing software base. On the other side of the coin, software developers find porting code to a new architecture difficult and time-consuming. If the architecture fails to gain enough market share, they—like the hardware developers— also risk losing a significant investment. Both these factors have at times conspired to forestall innovation in processor design. They also make it more difficult for new competitors to arise. Binary translation—a set of techniques that directly translate compiled code—could help break the innovation-strangling relation between ISAs and their software base.

متن کاملInvestigating Translation Strategies of Culture-Specific Items in Alignment with Nord’s Binary Translation Typology: A Case Study of Unaccustomed Earth
Culture is an extremely complex concept. Translating cultural elements is a demanding task due to the fact that these elements comprise specific meanings and implications belonging exclusively to the lan-guage and culture from which they have emerged. Regarding this point, the present article investigated the strategies employed for translating culture-specific items (CSIs) in an English nov...
متن کاملA novel algorithm to determine the leaf (leaves) of a binary tree from its preorder and postorder traversals
Binary trees are essential structures in Computer Science. The leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is one of the most significant aspects of it. In this study, we prove that the order of a leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is the same in the main tree traversals; preorder, inorder, and postorder. Then, we prove that given the preorder and postorder traversals of a binary tree, the leaf (leaves) of a bi...
متن کاملAn improved algorithm to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and postorder traversals
It is well-known that, given inorder traversal along with one of the preorder or postorder traversals of a binary tree, the tree can be determined uniquely. Several algorithms have been proposed to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and preorder traversals. There is one study to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and postorder traversals, and this algorithm takes running time of...
متن کاملEnglish-Persian Plagiarism Detection based on a Semantic Approach
Plagiarism which is defined as “the wrongful appropriation of other writers’ or authors’ works and ideas without citing or informing them” poses a major challenge to knowledge spread publication. Plagiarism has been placed in four categories of direct, paraphrasing (rewriting), translation, and combinatory. This paper addresses translational plagiarism which is sometimes referred to as cross-li...
