In a method of executing a program on an interpreted bytecode language, a plurality of interpreted bytecode modules (each having an associated name) is loaded. A pointer is directed from each method entry to a different interpreted bytecode module. A native code module library is loaded and includes a native code module (also having an associated name) that implements a function corresponding to an interpreted bytecode module. When the name of an interpreted bytecode module corresponds to the name of a native code module, the pointer directed to the interpreted bytecode module is redirected to the corresponding native code module. Each interpreted bytecode module and native code module pointed to by the each method entry in the method table is executed according to an application-controlled order of execution.

System for overriding interpreted byte-code with native code

A method for generating a sequence of memory addresses for a multi-dimensional data structure and an address generation unit are disclosed. The address generation unit includes an ADDRESS register, a STRIDE register, and a plurality skip generators, each having SKIP, SPAN and COUNT registers. An address value is initialized to a first address and each COUNT register is initialized. For each address of the sequence an address value is output and a stride value is added to the address value. For each dimension of the data structure the COUNT register associated with the dimension is updated as each address is generated. For all dimensions, when the COUNT register value becomes zero, the skip value associated with the dimension is added to the address value and its COUNT register is reset to a specified value.
