Embodiment Construction
[0016] In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details.
[0017] Embodiments of the present invention contemplate partially compatible instruction set architectures, wherein a binary encoding of program code generated for a first instruction set architecture is translated into a binary encoding using certain features of a second instruction set architecture, while Partial compatibility with first instruction set architectures is maintained. In one embodiment, the level of compatibility is controlled by the program environment, including but not limited to the user, compiler, and operating system. In one such embodiment, a set of compatibility modes or switches are defined on top of the second instruction set architecture. Acco...
