Binary translation is the emulation of one instruction set by another through translation of code. In binary translation sequences of instructions are translated from the source to the target instruction set. Dynamic binary translation (DBT) looks at a short sequence of code – typically on the order of a single basic block – then translate it. Code is only translated as it is discovered and when possible, and jump instructions are made to point to already translated and saved code. In this project, in addition to the existing sequential translator, we propose to use a supplementary translator implemented on GPUs to accelerate DBT.
