Dynamic Binary Translation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of dynamic binary translation. Dynamic binary translation is the process of translating code for one instruction set architecture to code for another on the fly, i.e., dynamically. Dynamic binary translators are used for emulation, migration, and recently for the economic implementation of complex instruction set architectures. Most of the problems occuring in dynamic binary translation are discussed and solutions are presented and weighed against each other. Finally, the dynamic binary translator bintrans, developed by the author, is presented.

BOA: The Architecture of a Binary Translation Processor
High frequency design and instruction-level parallelism (ILP) are two keys to high performance microprocessor implementation. To achieve these sometimes competing goals, the Binary-translation Optimized Architecture (BOA) aims to bring code translation techniques based on continuous profiling into the mainstream. Initially, code is interpreted to detect code hot spots and gather profile informa...
متن کاملFast Machine-Adaptable Dynamic Binary Translation
Binary translation is the process of translating machine code from one instruction set architecture to another. It can be done statically or dynamically, i.e., on the fly. Most binary translation systems have been tailored to a specific source-target architecture combination. There are currently three published machine-adaptable binary translation systems, one of which is dynamic. Because it us...
متن کاملFast Instruction Set Simulation Using LLVM-based Dynamic Translation
In the development of embedded systems, Instruction-Set Simulators (ISS) plays an important role. When using an ISS, simulation speed is a significant issue. In this paper, we present a dynamic translation technique that uses the LLVM open-source compiler infrastructure to increase the simulation speed. Our dynamic translation technique translates hot basic blocks of the target instruction set ...
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...
