Abstract
The present invention is a system and method of using a kernel module to perform dynamic optimizations both of user programs and of the computer operating system kernel, itself. The kernel module permits optimized translations to be shared across a computer system without emulation because the kernel module has the privileges necessary to write into the computer program text in shared user memory space. In addition, the kernel module can be used to optimize the kernel itself because it, too, is located in the kernel memory space.
