Abstract
A processing system comprising a microprocessor core and a translator. Within the microprocessor core is arranged a hardware decoder configured to selectively decode instructions for execution in the microprocessor core, and, a logic structure configured to track usage of the hardware decoder. The translator is operatively coupled to the logic structure and configured to selectively translate the instructions for execution in the microprocessor core, based on the usage of the hardware decoder as determined by the logic structure.
