System and method for fault mapping of exceptions across programming models

A system comprising:

• a first device operating a first programming model;
• a second device operating a second programming model, the second device being invoked by the first device to execute an instruction;
• and
• a fault mapping module configured to receive an exception from the first device, the exception based on a fault that occurred during the execution of the instruction in the second programming model, the fault mapping module configured to determine a type of the exception by comparing an identifier within the exception with one or more identifiers indicating a type, and interpret the exception according to a set of mapping data to generate an interpreted exception if the exception is determined to be of a predetermined type.

A method comprising:

• receiving from a first device operating a first programming model, an exception that includes a set of data and is based upon a fault that occurred during the execution of an instruction in a second programming model, the instruction having been transmitted by the first device to the second device;
• determining a type of the exception by comparing an identifier associated with the exception with one or more predetermined identifiers that indicate exception type;
• and
• interpreting the exception according to a set of mapping data to generate an interpreted exception if the exception is determined to be of a predetermined type.
