Zusammenfassung:A system and method to enhance execution of architected instructions in a processor uses auxiliary code to optimize execution of base microcode. An execution context of the architected instructions may be profiled to detect potential optimizations, resulting in generation and storage of auxiliary microcode. When the architected instructions are decoded to base microcode for execution, the base microcode may be enhanced or modified using retrieved auxiliary code.
