Low-Level Virtual Machine

Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is a system that allows software to be written in a way that can be efficiently translated into the machine code of different computers. It provides a common language, called intermediate representation (IR), which helps compilers optimize and convert code for various hardware architectures. This makes software more portable and performant, enabling programs to run smoothly across different devices without needing to rewrite them for each specific machine. Think of LLVM as a universal translator that simplifies how software interacts with diverse hardware systems.
