Abstract
A method is described. The method includes receiving an instruction, accessing a return cache to load a predicted return target address upon determining that the instruction is a return instruction, searching a lookup table for executable binary code upon determining that the predicted translated return target address is incorrect and executing the executable binary code to perform a binary translation.
