Abstract:Dynamic binary translation is an emulation technique commonly employed in the implementation of virtual machines. One of the main sources of overhead that hinder the applicability of dynamic binary translators is that caused by the emulation of indirect branch instructions. This master thesis describes several techniques that try to improve the performance and efficiency of indirect branch emulation in efficient virtual machines. DynamoRIO is one of such machines and it implements features used by several of t… Show more
