Abstract
A method for interpreter optimization includes receiving multiple data units organized according to a first endian order, reordering the data units according to a second endian order and interpreting the reordered data units. According to one aspect, the data units include at least one opcode having at least one operand, each operand including at least one data unit. According to another aspect, a class loader reorders the code within a classfile from big-endian format to little-endian format.
