DOSBox can emulate & execute the program instructions in several different ways. Ways and methods that has changed and has been extended over time. Each of these methods are refered to as 'DOSBox CPU cores': Simple, normal, full, and dynamic are some of the more well-known. Some are more accurate than others, some are faster than others. Dynamic happens to be pretty good, and also the fastest - but currently only officially available when DOSBox is running on a real Intel x86 CPU. It achieves this by by translating the emulated 8086/80186/80286 CPU instructions into real Intel x86 instructions and saving the resulting instruction stream for possible later re-use - a.k.a. the dynamically recompiling core.
I hope I got that semi-correct, wd?
