Abstract
A method for executing non-native binaries on a host computer architecture comprises receiving the guest executable binary into a computer readable medium. The guest executable binary is executed on the host computer architecture by translating the guest executable binary into a translated executable binary. Each instruction of the translated executed binary is then executed on the host computer architecture. Signals are responded to by placing signal information on a signal queue and deferring signal handling until a safe point is reached. A computer system implementing the method is also provided.
