Software from Oracle that converts a program in Java bytecode (intermediate language) into machine language and executes it. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is the runtime engine of the Java ...

While its ubiquity, longevity, and presence in many back-office systems might make some engineers think of COBOL, 30 years ...

Optimizing the JVM’s Just-in-Time compiler is a crucial aspect of Java performance optimization. The JIT compiler is responsible for dynamically translating frequently executed bytecode into ...

On May 23, 1995, a seemingly modest programming language called Java was released by Sun Microsystems. At the time, it ...

One thing that hasn't changed, however, is the basic fact that all of these languages, despite all their interesting features or capabilities, eventually end up in the lingua franca of the Java ...

A Java performance profiler that uses a sampling approach will place a more predictable load on the JVM at runtime. As a result, a sampling-based profiler is best to use when searching for patterns in ...

A real subset language that produces clean, tight JVM bytecode on par with what you’d get from compiled Java. But better, because it still looks and feels mostly like Ruby. So I wrote one!

Before going into the ‘how’, [Dimitri] first covers why he wanted to run Java bytecode on a microcontroller ... As for how [Dimitri] managed to pack a JVM into a microcontroller, that ...

Last year, [Michael] wrote Java Grinder, a Java byte-code compiler that compiles classes into assembly language instead of being part of a JVM. This effectively turns Java from a Just In Time ...
