bytecode

[′bīt‚kōd]

(computer science)

Compiled Java programs that can be transferred across a network and executed by the Java virtual machine.

bytecode

An intermediate language that requires a runtime program for execution. For example, the source code of Java and Microsoft's .NET languages is compiled into their particular type of bytecode, which is executed by their runtime engines (see Java and .NET Framework). WebAssembly, which can be used instead of JavaScript routines in Web pages, generates bytecode (see WebAssembly). The Solidity language, which is used to create smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, generates bytecode (see Solidity).

Java Bytecode

Java programs are compiled into bytecode, which is translated into machine language at runtime by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). There are JVMs for almost every environment, enabling Java to run in most computers. See runtime engine.

No Bytecode - No Runtime Engine

In compiled languages such as C/C++, the machine language is executed in the computer. See C.

The current version of the system enables measurements of three different kinds of indicators: a) the indicators to measure the speed and the quality of the algorithm (the so called EM indicators), b) the project-specific counters to count the usage of the parts of the algorithm's program code (the so called CNT indicators), and c) the counters of the Java byte code usage (the so called JVM indicators).
