ABSTRACT:
A binary translation module is to translate a first sequence of instructions associated with a source architecture into a second sequence of instructions associated with a target architecture. The first sequence includes one or more floating point control instructions and the second sequence does not include a floating point control instruction. Results produced by executing the second sequence on a processor that complies with the target architecture are substantially the same as results produced by executing the first sequence on a processor that complies with the source architecture.
