Abstract: Systems and methods for binary translation are disclosed. In some implementations, guest software to run in a Native Client environment is received. The guest software is configured to execute at a specified guest hardware architecture and not within the Native Client environment. A binary translation of the guest software into Native Client compatible machine code is provided using emulation software. The Native Client compatible machine code executes within a sandbox for the Native Client environment. The Native Client compatible machine code is executable within an application. Providing the binary translation of the guest software into the Native Client compatible machine code for execution within the sandbox occurs just in time, during a runtime of the emulated guest software, and without porting or recompiling the guest software. Providing the binary translation interleaves with execution of the emulated guest software.

Abstract: Techniques for binary translation are disclosed. A host platform receives a program for a guest platform different from the host. The program uses a set of shared objects or dynamically loaded libraries and is not compatible with the host platform. The host platform determines whether the host platform has a corresponding shared object or dynamically loaded library that implements a common external interface with a specified shared object or dynamically loaded library from within the set. If the host platform has the corresponding shared object or dynamically loaded library, the host platform uses the corresponding shared object or dynamically loaded library in place of the specified shared object or dynamically loaded library for execution of the program. If the host platform lacks the corresponding shared object or dynamically loaded library, the host platform performs binary translation of the specified shared object or dynamically loaded library for execution of the program.
