TLDR
MAMBO-X64, a dynamic binary translator that translates 32-bit ARM (AArch32) code to 64-bit CPU2006 code, uses three novel techniques to improve the performance of indirect branch translation, which allows the performance to be on par with thread-private hash tables while having superior memory scalability.
