Abstract :
Dynamic binary translate is one of the main methods in software migration cross platform. How to optimize it has been the research key points for long time. This paper presents a better scheme of translation cache management based on the research of translation from i386 to alpha. It divides the translation cache into two levels and adopts the advantages of FIFO scheme. The balance of speed and consume is accomplished smartly. We take the experiments on the improved dynamic binary translation software QEMU [1]. And we get the conclusion from the test results that the average translation speed can increase about 3% with this scheme.
