In computer science, dynamic recompilation is a feature of some emulators and virtual machines, where the system may recompile some part of a program during execution. By compiling during execution, the system can tailor the generated code to reflect the program's run-time environment, and potentially produce more efficient code by exploiting information that is not available to a traditional static compiler.

Most dynamic recompilers are used to convert machine code between architectures at runtime. This is a task often needed in the emulation of legacy gaming platforms. In other cases, a system may employ dynamic recompilation as part of an adaptive optimization strategy to execute a portable program representation such as Java or .NET Common Language Runtime bytecodes. Full-speed debuggers also utilize dynamic recompilation to reduce the space overhead incurred in most deoptimization techniques, and other features such as dynamic thread migration.

The main tasks a dynamic recompiler has to perform are:

• Reading in machine code from the source platform
• Emitting machine code for the target platform

A dynamic recompiler may also perform some auxiliary tasks:

• Managing a cache of recompiled code
• Updating of elapsed cycle counts on platforms with cycle count registers
• Management of interrupt checking
• Providing an interface to virtualized support hardware, for example a GPU
• Optimizing higher-level code structures to run efficiently on the target hardware (see below)
