Java Bytecode - Execution

Execution

Java bytecode is designed to be executed in a Java virtual machine. There are several virtual machines available today, both free and commercial products.

Further information: Java virtual machine

If executing Java bytecode in a Java virtual machine is not desirable, a developer can also compile Java source code or Java bytecode directly to native machine code with tools such as the GNU Compiler for Java. Some processors can execute Java bytecode natively. Such processors are known as Java processors.

Famous quotes containing the word execution:

    “I am gradually drifting to the opinion that this Rebellion can only be crushed finally by either the execution of all the traitors or the abolition of slavery. Crushed, I mean, so as to remove all danger of its breaking out again in the future.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
