Editing Dynamic recompilation (section)

==Tasks==
The main tasks a dynamic recompiler has to perform are:
* Reading in machine code from the source platform
* Emitting machine code for the target platform

A dynamic recompiler may also perform some auxiliary tasks:
* Managing a [[cache (computing)|cache]] of recompiled code
* Updating of elapsed cycle counts on platforms with cycle count registers
* Management of [[interrupt]] checking
* Providing an interface to virtualized support hardware, for example a [[GPU]]
* Optimizing higher-level code structures to run efficiently on the target hardware (see below)
