RISC PROCESSOR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING X86 VIRTUAL MACHINE

摘要

A RISC processor apparatus and method for supporting an X86 virtual machine. The RISC processor includes: an instruction module for storing a virtual machine instruction set that supports the X86 virtual machine; a decoder for, during the decoding of an instruction of the virtual machine instruction set, distinguishing the virtual machine instruction set mode of the instruction, decoding the instruction according to the distinguished virtual machine instruction set mode, and outputting the decoded instruction to a fixed-point operation component or a floating-point operation component according to the distinguished virtual machine instruction set mode; the fixed-point operation component for processing the fixed-point instruction of the virtual machine instruction set according to the output of the decoder and outputting the execution result; the floating-point operation component for processing the floating-point instruction of the virtual machine instruction set according to the output of the decoder and outputting the execution result.
