Method and system for converting non-unique bytecode into a set of codes unique to a processor within a computer system

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for converting non-native bytecodes into a set of codes unique to a processor within a computer system. According to the method and system of the present invention, there is provided a computer system having a system memory, a processor and an instruction set converter, and capable of converting non-unique instructions into a set of unique instructions. The system memory is used to store groups of non-unique instructions and unrelated unique instructions. The processor may only process unique instructions. The instruction set converter coupled between the system memory and the processor includes a semantics table and an information table. In response to fetching instructions from the processor for non-unique instructions in system memory, the instruction set converter converts non-unique instructions into a set of unique instructions for the processor by accessing both the semantics table and the information table. do.
