• Abstract:
  An efficient method for simulating instruction sets is described. The method allows for compiled instruction set simulation using the macro expansion capabilities found in many languages. Additionally, we show how the semantics of the C case statement allows instruction branching to be incorporated in an efficient manner. The method is compared with conventional interpreted techniques and is shown to offer considerable performance benefits.
