HotSpot JVM

The HotSpot JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is a core part of running Java applications. It efficiently manages memory and executes code by using advanced techniques like just-in-time (JIT) compilation, which translates frequently used parts of code into faster machine language on-the-fly. HotSpot focuses on optimizing performance and responsiveness by identifying "hot spots" in the code—sections that run often—and making them run even faster. It manages memory dynamically, reusing and freeing space as needed, which helps applications run smoothly and efficiently on different hardware platforms.
