A Java compiler takes a text file and compiles it into a platform-independent Java file, meaning the compiled code can run on any OS. Learn how it works.

Learn how to optimize JVM and JIT compiler performance for better execution speed, memory usage, and resource utilization in your Java applications—and how to check your results.

In Java, program memory is managed by the JVM. The JVM manages memory through a process called garbage collection, which continuously identifies and eliminates unused memory in Java programs.

A serious vulnerability in a popular Java library puts thousands of Java applications and servers at risk of remote code execution attacks.

Query compilation and execution form the critical backbone of database systems, where high-level queries are translated into efficient low-level machine code and then executed to retrieve data.

The traditional way to implement Java is a two-step process: a translation phase and an execution phase. (In this respect Java is like C.) A Java program is compiled by javac, which produces one or ...
