Abstract

A method for implementing command acceleration. The method includes receiving a first set of instructions from a first processor, wherein the first set of instructions are formatted in accordance with a microarchitecture of the first processor. The first set of instructions are translated into a second set of instructions, wherein the second set of instructions are formatted in accordance with a microarchitecture of a second processor. The second set instructions are then transmitted to the second processor for execution by the second processor.
