A translator using static binary translation aims to convert all of the code of an executable file into code that runs on the target architecture without having to run the code first, as is done in dynamic binary translation. This is very difficult to do correctly, since not all the code can be discovered by the translator.
The Quick Emulator (QEMU) [4] is a free and open-source emulator that uses dynamic binary translation to emulate a computer's processor; that is, it translates the emulated binary codes to an equivalent binary format which is executed by the machine.
Machine code is generally different from bytecode (also known as p-code), which is either executed by an interpreter or itself compiled into machine code for faster (direct) execution. An exception is when a processor is designed to use a particular bytecode directly as its machine code, such as is the case with Java processors .
An option also exists to force a universal binary to run as x86-64 code through Rosetta 2, even on an ARM-based machine. [ 18 ] Since macOS Ventura , users running virtual machines with Linux as a guest operating system can make use of Rosetta 2 to run x86-64 code compiled for Linux, [ 19 ] within the virtual machine.
Translate source code into some efficient intermediate representation or object code and immediately execute that; Explicitly execute stored precompiled bytecode [1] made by a compiler and matched with the interpreter's virtual machine.
Moses is a statistical machine translation engine that can be used to train statistical models of text translation from a source language to a target language, developed by the University of Edinburgh. [2] Moses then allows new source-language text to be decoded using these models to produce automatic translations in the target language.
With compiler programs, the translation process occurs one-time which results in efficient code that can be executed quickly for any number of times. [6] There are clear benefits when translating high-level code with a compiler. [7] Compilation leads to faster run time when executing the program.
The GNU Binary Utilities, or binutils, is a collection of programming tools maintained by the GNU Project for working with executable code including assembly, linking and many other development operations.
