Abstract
This paper explains new performance-oriented instruction decoder for IA-32 ISA. The decoder provides the functionality required for program analysis and interpretation and exports simple interface for the conversion of a code byte stream into a stream of generalized instruction descriptions. We report measurements comparing our decoder with well-known alternative solutions to demonstrate its superior efficiency.
