Abstract
A native microprocessor (20) accesses a foreign block of computer code. An initial block scope defining translation parameters is assigned to the block (106). The block of "foreign" code is translated to "native" code (108). An optimization efficiency is calculated for the translated block (110). A rescheduling criterion is established based on the optimization efficiency (112). The block of native code is executed (114). On subsequent accesses of the block when the reschedule criterion is met (116) the block scope is redefined (118).
