The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performs several key tasks when running Java applications:

  • Loading classes: JVM loads class bytecode from .class files or other sources.
  • Bytecode verification: checks the correctness and safety of the loaded code.
  • Interpretation and compilation: JVM can interpret bytecode or compile it into machine code (JIT compilation) for performance.
  • Memory management: allocates memory for objects, manages the heap, and performs garbage collection.
  • Thread management: supports multithreading, synchronization.
  • Exception handling: mechanism for error and exception processing.
  • Execution of bytecode: runs the instructions of the bytecode, implementing the program logic.

Thus, JVM provides platform-independent execution of Java applications, abstracting hardware specifics and offering a managed environment with memory management and security.
