Speculative selection of hot paths in program code for optimization of low cost dynamic cache translators by setting counters for corresponding program instructions and then counting the number of times a command executes

摘要

Procedure has the following steps: dynamic association of counters to addresses in the program that is being translated which are then used to determine a path start condition, incrementation of a counter when the associated command is executed and identification of hot paths when a counter exceeds a threshold value An independent claim is made for a dynamic translator.
