The company worked with partners and potential customers to determine which applications should be considered a priority for its x86 to ARM binary translation technology.

The performance enhancing work will begin after the initial product is released and a 80 or 90 performance level is expected to be achieved in a matter of months, Konukhov said.

So, they would like to see working and stable software rather than fast software.' 'We've discussed this issue with our partners and they were more interested in the functionality supported by our emulator and in stability rather than performance. 'We think it will be lower and there's a good reason for that,' Konukhov said. The goal is to have a performance level of 80 percent or more, but that probably won't be the case for the first production ready version of the product.

The performance of translated code compared to native code is currently at 45 percent. 'This will basically allow us to have multimedia functionality in our applications,' Konukhov said. The company is working on adding support for the Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) and MMX instruction sets. This includes the entire base instruction set of the x86 architecture. 'I think we currently support 50 or 60 percent of the functionality of Intel-based CPUs,' Konukhov said. The final product will be released sometime at the end of 2013 or in the beginning of 2014, he said. The project started in the spring of 2012 and the product is expected to be ready for beta testing in the middle of next year, Konukhov said. Support for Windows software is a longer term goal. Even though the technology is theoretically platform-independent, the company currently focuses its development efforts on supporting Linux servers and software.
