Binary translation where the translated code is instrumented to find out what portions are executed a large number of times, and these portions are optimized aggressively. This technique is reminiscent of a JIT compiler, and in fact such compilers (e.g. Sun's HotSpot technology) can be viewed as dynamic translators from a virtual instruction set (the bytecode) to a real one. Binary translation In computing, binary translation is a form of binary recompilation where sequences of instructions are translated from a "source" instruction set to the "target" instruction set. In some cases such as instruction set simulation, the target instruction set may be
Bibi-binary and the sum of −7 and 7 would give "0 0000"; this "two's complement" system thus needs only a single representation for the number zero. Bibi-binary The Bibi-binary system for numeric notation (in French système Bibi-binaire, or abbreviated "système Bibi") is a hexadecimal numeral system first described in 1968 by singer/mathematician Robert "Boby" Lapointe (1922–1972). At the time, it attracted the attention of André Lichnerowicz, then engaged in studies at the University of Lyon. It found some use in a variety of unforeseen applications: stochastic poetry, stochastic art, colour classification, aleatory music, architectural symbolism, etc. The notational system directly and
