Its features improved performance via methods such as just-in-time compilation and adaptive optimization.
The Java HotSpot Performance Engine was released on April 27, 1999,[1] built on technologies from an implementation of the programming language Smalltalk named Strongtalk, originally developed by Longview Technologies, which traded as Animorphic.
These are then targeted for optimizing, leading to high-performance execution with a minimum of overhead for less performance-critical code.
[8] JRE (originally from Sun, now from Oracle) features two virtual machines, one called Client and the other Server.
The Server version loads more slowly, putting more effort into producing highly optimized JIT compilations to yield higher performance.
[19] As with the entire Java Development Kit (JDK), HotSpot is supported by Oracle Corporation on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
This port is intended for easy adaptation of the interpreter component of HotSpot to any Linux processor architecture.
