摘要：A microprocessor including an instruction translation unit and a storage controlunit is provided. The instruction translation unit scans the instructions to be executed bythe microprocessor. The instructions are coded in the instruction set of a CPU coreincluded within the microprocessor. The instruction translation unit detects codesequences which may be more efficiently executed in a DSP core included within themicroprocessor, and translates detected code sequences into one or more DSP

instructions. The instruction translation unit conveys the translated code sequences to astorage control unit. The storage control unit stores the code sequences along with theaddress of the original code sequences. As instructions are fetched, the storage controlunit is searched. If a translated code sequence is stored for the instructions beingfetched, the translated code sequence is substituted for the code sequence.
