Creating an isolated execution environment in a co-designed processor

摘要

In an embodiment, a processor includes a binary translation (BT) container having code to generate a binary translation of a first code segment and to store the binary translation in a translation cache, a host entity logic to manage the BT container and to identify the first code segment, and protection logic to isolate the BT container from a software stack. In this way, the BT container is configured to be transparent to the software stack. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
