Abstract

The present invention introduces an object conversion apparatus with both advantages of the dynamic object conversion and advantages of the static object conversion. In the object conversion apparatus, an application program to be converted is divided into some blocks, and a page table is provided in order to specify whether each block is processed by the dynamic object conversion or the static object conversion. Based on the information specified in the page table, an instruction in the block used with high frequency is processed with the dynamic object conversion, and an instruction in the block used with low frequency is processed with the static object conversion.
