    Long employed by industry, large scale use of binary translation and on-the-fly code generation is becoming pervasive both as an enabler for virtualization, processor migration and also as processor implementation technology. The emergence and expected growth of just-in-time compilation, virtualization and Web 2.0 scripting languages brings to the forefront a need for efficient execution of this class of applications. The availability of multiple execution threads brings new challenges and opportunities, as existing binaries need to be transformed to benefit from multiple processors, and extra processing resources enable continuous optimizations and translation.

    The main goal of this half-day workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners with the aim of stimulating the exchange of ideas and experiences on the potential and limits of Architectural and MicroArchitectural Support for Binary Translation (hence the acronym AMAS-BT). The key focus is on challenges and opportunities for such assistance and opening new avenues of research. A secondary goal is to enable dissemination of hitherto unpublished techniques from commercial projects.

    The workshop scope includes support for decoding/translation, support for execution optimization and runtime support. It will set a high scientific standard for such experiments, and requires insightful analysis to justify all conclusions. The workshop will favor submissions that provide meaningful insights, and identify underlying root causes for the failure or success of the investigated technique. Acceptable work must thoroughly investigate and communicate why the proposed technique performs as the results indicate.

    Submission Topics

    Hardware assistance for translation and code discovery:

    Interpretation engines, decoding assistance, translated code dispatch

    On-the-fly reconstruction of CFGs and data dependences, scheduling and optimization

    Bug-per-bug compatibility issues

    Static translation: without runtime assistance/translation and with runtime assistance/translation (Hybrid Translation)

    Hardware assistance for optimization:

    Extra/enhanced internal/physical registers

    Speculative execution support

    Reduced footprint/low-power cores enabled by binary translation, area and power efficiency

    Techniques for parallelizing single-thread programs

    Hardware assistance for runtime management:

    Self-modifying code, self-referential code, precise exceptions

    Runtime information: profiling branch directions, instructions with cache misses, memory access monitoring

    Management of translated code and adapting code to changing program behavior, persistent translation, incremental translation

    Multi-many cores: parallel translation, auto parallelization, speculative execution

    Binary Translation: Architectural effects and experience:

    Novel applications of binary translation and virtualization

    Performance characterization

    Dynamic instrumentation and debugging

    HW/SW co-design for efficient execution

    Experimental insights on binary translation and industrial experience
