Talk:Dynamic recompilation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge from Dynarec

In the second paragraph, what the heck is Corn? And second, the example really has little to with Dynamic Recompilation and is closer to High Level Emulation. Dynamic Recompilation stores blocks of recompiled code in memory, so that it doesn't have to decode and simulate instructions everytime.

lda #4
adc ($4), x

would become something like:

mov eax, 4
push eax
push eax
call getX86Addess
mov ebx, eax
pop eax
add ebx, edx
adc eax, [ebx]

and decoding will continue until a branch/jump/call is reached. 24.13.122.71 01:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

http://corn.telefonia.pl/ apparently, I've never heard of it either. Feel free to insert a better example, I'm by no means an expert on the subject. StealthFox 11:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I have suggested that Dynarec be merged into this article, as they are two articles on the same thing. Anyone see any reason why not? StealthFox 02:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RISC Generally preferred?

"In an ironic twist in real world usage, the first sequence of instructions (RISC) is generally preferred over the next (CISC). The reasons provided are slow CISC processor execution, prevention of pipeline stalls, and lower hardware overheads."

Preferred where? Code compiled for i386 is chock-full of rep.cmps . Given the platform's performance and market share, surely i386 is representative of the real world?
