A bytecode virtual machine (VM) is a software-based execution environment that runs intermediate bytecode, generated by compiling source code, allowing for platform-independent execution. By abstracting away hardware specifics, bytecode VMs enable developers to write once and run anywhere, making them a crucial component in cross-platform programming languages and frameworks, such as Java and .NET, and facilitating the development of portable, high-performance applications.
