Use of internal general purpose registers of a processor as a Java virtual machine top of stack and dynamic allocation of the registers according to stack status

摘要

An apparatus comprising a processor and a translator circuit. The processor may (i) comprise a number of internal registers and (ii) be configured to manipulate contents of the internal registers in response to instruction codes of a first instruction set. The translator circuit may be configured to implement a stack using one or more of the internal registers of the processor.
