A threaded interpreter (916) is suitable for executing a program comprising a series of program instructions stored in a memory (904). For the execution of a program instruction the threaded interpreter includes: a preparatory unit (918) for executing a plurality of preparatory steps making the program instruction available in the threaded interpreter, and an execution unit (920) with one or more machine instructions emulating the program instruction. According to the invention, the threaded interpreter is designed such that during the execution on an instruction-level parallel processor of the series of program instructions machine instructions implementing a first one of the preparatory steps are executed in parallel with machine instructions implementing a second one of the preparatory steps for respective ones of the series of program instructions.
A method of executing a threaded interpreter for interpreting a program comprising a series of program instructions, the method comprising for the execution of each program instruction:
A system for executing a threaded interpreter interpreting a program comprising a series of program instructions, the system comprising a memory for storing the series of program instructions, and the threaded interpreter comprising:
A data carrier comprising a threaded interpreter for interpreting a program comprising a series of program instructions, the threaded interpreter comprising:
A system for generating an executable interpreter for interpreting a program comprising a series of program instructions, the system comprising a compiler for translating the interpreter from a source code into machine instructions, the interpreter in the source code comprising:
A data carrier comprising a compiler for generating an executable interpreter for interpreting a program comprising a series of program instructions, the compiler being arranged to translate the interpreter from a source code into executable machine instructions, the interpreter in the source code comprising:
