Ahead-of-time and just-in-time technologies

The article focuses on the study of Ahead-of-Time and Just-in-Time technologies. The author substantiates the relevance and significance of the research topic. There are two ways to compile an application using JIT or AOT compilation. The first is the default mode and is used by the Java Hotspot virtual machine to convert bytecode to machine code at runtime. The latter is supported by the new GraalVM compiler and allows bytecode to be statically compiled directly into machine code at build time. In this article, the author discusses the main differences between these two compilation strategies.
