Smart Contract Bytecode Preprocessing for Execution Speed

The patent applies preliminary action by preprocessing the bytecode during the contract deployment phase. The virtual machine parses and decodes the bytecode once during deployment, converting it into executable instructions and storing them in cache memory. This eliminates the need for repeated parsing and decoding during subsequent contract invocations, directly resolving the technical contradiction by preparing the execution environment in advance.

The patent performs bytecode parsing and decoding as a preliminary action during the deployment phase. The virtual machine processes the bytecode once, generates executable instructions, and caches them for rapid execution. This shifts the processing complexity to the deployment phase while achieving significant productivity gains during execution, accepting temporary complexity increase for long-term efficiency improvement.

The patent applies the copying principle by creating a cached copy of the parsed and decoded bytecode instructions in the virtual machine's memory. Instead of repeatedly processing the original bytecode during each invocation, the system stores and reuses the executable instruction copy. This trade-off increases memory consumption but dramatically improves invocation speed by eliminating repeated parsing operations.
