Abstract
A method for executing new instructions includes the following steps. An instruction is received. A determination is made as to whether the received instruction is a new instruction. When the received instruction is the new instruction, a emulation flag is generated. The emulation flag is a first value. A system management interrupt is generated according to the emulation flag. In response to the system management interrupt, entering the system management mode and simulating the execution of the received instruction in the system management mode to generate a simulation execution result. The simulation execution result is stored in a system management memory.
