"The aim is binary compatibility. Each particular host operating system needs its own implementation of the JVM and runtime. These JVMs interpret the byte code semantically the same way, but the actual implementation may be different. More complicated than just the emulation of bytecode is compatible and efficient implementation of the Java core API which has to be mapped to each host operating system." The variance is not only for hardware compatibility but also to maximize the java API per platform. Other API can handshake the JVM such as JOGL to accomplish a thin layer programming OpenGL. C++ enters the picture here. To view JVM code requires registration with Sun. The JVM is written in C as a stack architecture ….
