Revision as of 12:50, 10 October 2011 by 189.69.63.202 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Code Morphing Software (CMS) is the technology used by Transmeta microprocessors to execute x86 instructions. In broad view, CMS reads x86 instructions and generates instructions for a proprietary VLIW processor, in the style of Shade. CMS translation is much more expensive and produces much higher quality code than the translator in Shade; CMS also contains an interpreter and simulates both user-mode and system mode operation.
