Abstract: Apparatus and method for processing information may determine whether a migration condition exists by a source information processing unit executing a program. When a migration condition is determined to exist by the source information processing unit, a destination information processing unit may determine whether an instruction to be executed of the program is a predetermined instruction. The instruction to be executed is converted by an instruction emulator, when a result of a determination by the destination information processing unit is the predetermined instruction.
