View source for Java Virtual Machine

{{virtual machine}}
The '''Java Virtual Machine''' or '''JVM''' interprets [[Java]] [[byte code]] (compiled Java code) and runs the program. JVM's have been created for many different [[platform|platforms]], which gives Java its platform-independent nature. It manages memory usage via a [[garbage collection|garbage collector]]. It also manages concurrent [[thread|threads]] (the programmer can attempt to control certain threads, though).

==JVM languages==
A language can run inside JVM if it compiles to Java bytecode, or its interpreter runs inside JVM.
