	The Java Virtual Machine Specification
		Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition is now available.
		In The Java Virtual Machine Specification, Second Edition, Sun's designers of the Java virtual machine provide comprehensive coverage of the Java virtual machine class file format and instruction set.

	What is virtual machine? - a definition from Whatis.com
		The JVM is a virtual machine in that it executes code compiled specifically for it – known as bytecode – and abstracts use of resources for this bytecode.
		A user interacting with a virtualized server can view the server as a physical machine, in the sense that the user would see access to machines resources like hard disks, RAM, processors and Ethernet connections.
		The virtual machine idea is itself one of the most elegant in the history of technology and is a crucial step in the evolution of ideas about software.

	Virtual machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because versions of the virtual machine are written for various computer platforms, any application written for the virtual machine can be operated on any of the platforms, instead of having to produce separate versions of the application for each computer and operating system.
		The term virtual machine is now also used to refer to the environment created by an emulator, where software is used to emulate an operating system for the end user.
		Virtual machines can also perform the role of an emulator, allowing software applcations and operating systems written for another computer processor architecture to be run.

	Parrot virtual machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parrot is a register-based virtual machine being developed using the C programming language and intended to run dynamic languages efficiently.
		Current popular virtual machines such as the Java virtual machine and the Common Language Runtime have been designed for statically typed languages, while the languages targeted by Parrot are dynamically typed.
		Virtual machines like the Java virtual machine and the current Perl 5 virtual machine are also stack based.

	virtual machine - a Whatis.com definition
		The Java virtual machine specification defines an abstract rather than a real "machine" (or processor) and specifies an instruction set, a set of registers, a stack, a "garbage heap," and a method area.
		A Java virtual machine can either interpret the bytecode one instruction at a time (mapping it to a real microprocessor instruction) or the bytecode can be compiled further for the real microprocessor using what is called a just-in-time compiler.
		The virtual machine idea is itself one of the most elegant in the history of technology and is a crucial step in the evolution of ideas about software.

		For example, Java applets run in a Java virtual machine (VM) that has no access to the host operating system.
		As virtualization — or at least talk of it — spreads through the enterprise, the word hypervisor is popping up everywhere.
		To understand what a hypervisor is, you first have to have a basic understanding of system virtualization.

	The Symbolics Virtual Lisp Machine
		The performance of the first version of the Virtual Lisp Machine running on a DEC Alpha AXP 500 is very competitive with the performance of Symbolics' most advanced custom hardware.
		One of the features of Lisp Machines (one of the technologies that allowed its creation) is the use of microcode to implement complex instructions closely tuned to the language-level concepts of Lisp.
		In the '70s, when the Lisp Machine was born, compiler technology was poor and microcoding simplified the compiler writer's task while maintaining performance.

	Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface
		The Java virtual machine is a multithreaded and garbage-collected execution environment that generates various events of interest for the profiler.
		On the other hand, virtual machine implementations from different vendors may be different enough that it is impossible to expose all the interesting events through a general-purpose interface.
		A straightforward solution is to require the virtual machine to record all profiling events in a trace file, whether or not these events are enabled by the profiler agent.

		The only way for the virtual machine to interact with a database file is through a cursor.

	Virtual Machine
		Virtual Machine (VM) is a system that enables multiple operating systems concurrently run on a single physical server, providing for much more effective utilization of the underlying hardware.
		In a virtual machine, the central processor chips isolate an area of memory from the rest of the system and the operating systems and applications run in a “protected mode” environment.
		The Unix virtual machine model and the OSI virtual machine model map some of the instructions directly, while some others are calls to the operating system functions directly.

	[No title]
		A recent film ignited a new generation of armchair epistemologists when it proposed that we could be living inside an elaborate computer simulation.
		Virtual machine software can fool an operating system into thinking it's running on its own hardware, when in reality it's simply mooching off unused CPU cycles and RAM.
		Since VMs can use virtual partitions (a partition that lives inside a file of dynamic or fixed size), you don't have to worry about reclaiming any hard drive space lost to experimentation.

	The Virtual Machine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since the early 60’s machines have generally had features, such as a privilege mode which, together with a memory map, allows an operating system to control applications and thus protect itself and protect one application from another.
		A virtual machine might have several decks “at hand” which could be placed in the card reader or passed to other virtual machines.
		This virtual isolation was used many ways, such as testing new releases of operating systems, debugging privileged code, and sometimes to provide the isolation required by special security needs, all of this while the real machine continued mission critical work within another virtual machine.

	Virtual Turing Machine
		He also invented a concept of a type of computer, called a "Turing Machine." Theoretically, a Turing machine is just as powerful as any other computer.
		Conceptually, a Turing Machine has a finite set of states, a finite alphabet (that has a blank symbol), and a finite set of instructions.
		That means the machine will halt no matter what value it encounters once it's in state 's1'.

	The lean, mean, virtual machine
		A key component of Java is the Java Virtual Machine -- a virtual computer, typically implemented in software on top of a "real" hardware platform and operating system, that runs compiled Java programs.
		The JVM is "virtual" because it is generally implemented in software on top of a "real" hardware platform and operating system.
		The "virtual hardware" of the Java Virtual Machine can be divided into four basic parts: the registers, the stack, the garbage-collected heap, and the method area.
