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
Binary number binary digits to represent an octal digit). The correspondence between octal and binary numerals is the same as for the first eight digits of hexadecimal in the table above. Binary 000 is equivalent to the octal digit 0, binary 111 is equivalent to octal 7, and so forth. Converting from octal to binary proceeds in the same fashion as it does for hexadecimal: And from binary to octal: And from octal to decimal: Non-integers can be represented by using negative powers, which are set off from the other digits by means of a radix point (called a decimal point in
