JVM optimization actually happens at the bytecode level (or on lower representative language levels), but I’ll demonstrate the optimizations using the Java language.

Simply speaking, a JVM is the software module that executes Java application bytecode and translates the bytecode into hardware- and operating system-specific instructions.

Users demand that their applications run fast, but working with Java bytecode presents optimization problems that other architectures do not encounter. Here we look at how to improve the performance ...

Azul has launched a cloud-native compiler, improving the time to peak performance for Java applications. By delegating JIT to an external system, applications can reach higher throughput, faster ...

In this article, we're going to examine the JVM bytecode set, disassemble some code to see how it works, and play with some tools that allow us to manipulate bytecode directly.

Computers don't understand English or even programming languages. What's needed is translation software, and it comes in different forms: compilers, interpreters and bytecode.
