Zusammenfassung:A processor comprising an instruction execution circuit to execute a second code stored at a second address of a memory, wherein the second code is translated from a first code stored at a first address of the memory and a translation table (TT) controller coupled to a translation table to store a TT entry comprising a mapping between the first address and the second address and an attribute field comprising an attribute value associated with execution of the second code, wherein the TT controller is to monitor execution of the second code by the instruction execution circuit and update, based on a performance metric of the execution, the attribute value of the TT entry.
