Abstract
There is disclosed a dynamic cache which is divided into sections, or chunks, for the storage of optimized code. The optimized code may contain pointers to code in other chunks. When a cache chunk is to be reused, then the pointers to other caches, as well as the pointers from other caches to code contained with the cache that is to be removed, are changed to point to either code contained in a victim chunk of the cache, or, alternatively, to point back to the translator. The system can dynamically change the number and size of the cache chunks and the number and size of the victim chunks, if any.
