An efficient adapting virtual intermediate instruction set towards optimized dynamic binary translator （DBT） system

A new efficient adapting virtual intermediate instruction set, V-IIS, is designed and implemented towards the optimized dynamic binary translator (DBT) system. With the help of this powerful but previously little-studied component, DBTs can not only get rid of the dependence of machine(s), but also get better performance. From our systematical study and evaluation, experimental results demonstrate that if V-IIS is well designed, without affecting the other optimizing measures, this could make DBT’s performance close to those who do not have intermediate instructions. This study is an important step towards the grand goal of high performance “multi-source” and “multi-target” dynamic binary translation.
