Design and Implementation of the Virtual Machine Constructing on Register

: The technology of virtual machines is widely applied in many fields, such as code transplanting, cross-platform computing, and hardware simulation. The main purpose is to simulate the environment of general hardware by means of software and realize the operation of byte codes in processor. Virtual machines are commonly used to distribute programs in an architecture-neutral format, which can easily be interpreted or compiled. A long-running question in the design of virtual machines is whether stack architecture or register architecture can be implemented more efficiently with an interpreter. After introducing the basic theory, a solution to designing and realizing virtual machine constructing on register processor proposed in this paper, which gives a preliminary study on simulating the process of instructions in Intel х86. Key words: virtual machines; register; memory; distribute program
