Abstract

Disclosed are methods, machine readable medium and systems that dynamically translate binary programs. The dynamic binary translation may include identifying a hot code trace of a program. The translation may further include determining a completion ratio for the hot code trace. The translation may also include packaging the hot code trace into a transactional memory region in response to the completion ratio having a predetermined relationship to a threshold ratio.
