Abstract
System and methods are provided for loop process suspension. One or more loop instructions associated with a loop process are loaded in a code cache. One or more branch instructions associated with a branch of the loop process in the code cache are determined. A suspension event is detected. The branch instructions are replaced with one or more jump instructions in the code cache upon the detection of the suspension event. If the jump instructions are executed in the code cache, the branch instructions in the code cache are restored, and the loop process is suspended. One or more suspension instructions associated with the suspension event are executed in an interpreter.
