A story from a Windows x86 emulator team about encountering a program with a fully unrolled 64KB initialization loop (65,536 instructions) and adding a special optimization to replace it with a tight loop.
Translates Windows executables (win32/x86) to WebAssembly to run in the browser, discussing challenges like blocking vs async design.
This paper introduces Elevator, a novel binary translator that performs deterministic, fully-static translation of entire x86-64 binaries to AArch64 without heuristics or runtime fallbacks. It achieves performance comparable to QEMU while enabling pre-deployment validation and certification of the translated code.
