Abstract: Direct-threaded interpreters use indirect branches to dispatch bytecodes, but deeply-pipelined architectures rely on branch prediction for performance. Due to the poor correlation between the virtual program's control flow and the hardware program counter, which we call the context problem, direct threading's indirect branches are poorly predicted by the hardware, limiting performance. Our dispatch technique, context threading, improves branch prediction and performance by aligning hardware and ... (Update)
