Transmeta has been granted two United States patents in the past year. The more important of the two details a scheme for "code morphing," a technique that could be used to translate X86 instructions into native Crusoe instructions with a VLIW engine Transmeta has designed. Another possibility is that Crusoe will have a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) above a relatively simple VLIW processor. The chip itself will have a small number of functional (i.e., execution) units rendered in hardware. The (software) HAL will convert X86 code using its patented morphing technique, pack it into wide instruction words and dole it out to the chip.

I hope this isn't another Chromatic Research.
