Abstract
A system and method are provided for emulating a code sequence while compiling the code sequence into compiled operations for later execution of the code sequence. In one embodiment, the system includes an emulation model for executing operations and a compilation model for compiling operations. The emulation model may execute operations of the code sequence and the compilation model may compile the operations of the code sequence into compiled operations. The system may transfer execution of the operations from the emulation model to the compiled operations. In certain implementations, the transfer may include transferring flow information and program execution information. In further implementations, the transfer may occur after detecting that a current compilation level of the code sequence exceeds a compilation threshold.
