Using emulation to improve startup time for just-in-time compilation

A method comprising:

• receiving a code sequence containing operations for performance by a computing system;
• executing the operations of the code sequence using an emulation model;
• compiling, in parallel with executing the operations using the emulation model, the operations of the code sequence into compiled operations using a compilation model;
• transferring execution of the operations from the emulation model to the compiled operations;
• executing the compiled operations;
• and
• continuing to compile the operations using the compilation model after transferring execution of the operations from the emulation model to the compiled operations.

A method comprising:

• executing a code sequence including operations with an emulation model;
• compiling, in parallel with executing the operations with the emulation model, operations of the code sequence into compiled operations with a compilation model;
• detecting that the compiled operations exceed a compilation threshold of the code sequence;
• transferring, to an execution environment, (i) an emulation instruction pointer of the emulation model and (ii) an emulation stack pointer identifying an emulation stack of the emulation model, the emulation stack storing program execution information for the code sequence while executed with the emulation model;
• and
• executing the compiled operations within the execution environment based on the emulation instruction pointer and the emulation stack pointer.
