JIT compiler

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
JIT compiler
(Just-In-Time compiler) A compiler that converts program source code into native machine code just before the program is run. In the case of Java, a JIT compiler converts Java's intermediate language (bytecode) into native machine code as needed. It tries to predict which instructions will be executed next so that it can compile the code in advance. Compiled code resides in memory until the application is closed. See Java compiler.

This translated code will run just as fast as any C++ program There is more overhead at the beginning of the Java program when the code is being translated, but the end result of a JIT compiler is well worth it.
This performance-optimized solution hinges on the generation of specialized code sequences by the PERC Ultra SMP JIT compiler and on an enhanced real-time garbage collection algorithm.
