Abstract

A method, computer system, and computer program product for using one or more hardware interrupts to drive dynamic binary code recompilation. The execution of a plurality of instructions is monitored to detect a problematic instruction. In response to detecting the problematic instruction, a hardware interrupt is thrown to a dynamic interrupt handler. A determination is made whether a threshold for dynamic binary code recompilation is satisfied. If the threshold for dynamic code recompilation is satisfied, the dynamic interrupt handler optimizes at least one of the plurality of instructions.
