The present invention relates to a device (10) for accelerating the
interpretation of a program in interpreted language, said program
comprising an intermediate code which can be executed by a virtual
machine in the form of successive tasks, said device comprising routing
means (13) able to extract a current intermediate code from a memory (11)
in order to load it into storage means (16). When there is a request for
a change of task, the routing means (13) are able to inhibit the
extraction of the current intermediate code and to load into the storage
means (16) a reserved intermediate code intended to effect a saving of a
context of the virtual machine.
