  2. Just-in-time compilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    JIT causes a slight to noticeable delay in the initial execution of an application, due to the time taken to load and compile the input code. Sometimes this delay is called "startup time delay" or "warm-up time". In general, the more optimization JIT performs, the better the code it will generate, but the initial delay will also increase.

  3. Compatibility mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_mode

    "Compatibility View" is a compatibility mode feature of the web browser Internet Explorer in version 8 and later. When active, Compatibility View forces IE to display the webpage in Quirks mode as if the page were being viewed in IE7. [1] [2] When compatibility view is not activated, IE is said to be running in native mode. In IE11, a user can ...

  4. Native Image Generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Image_Generator

    The Native Image Generator produces a native binary image for the current environment (i.e.; operating systems). This eliminates the JIT overhead at the expense of portability and disk space; whenever an NGen-generated image is run in an incompatible environment, .NET Framework automatically reverts to using JIT.

  5. Game testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_testing

    Compatibility testing is normally required for PC titles, nearing the end of development as much of the compatibility depends on the final build of the game. [ citation needed ] Often two rounds of compatibility tests are done - early in beta to allow time for issue resolution, and late in beta or during release candidate .

  6. Common Language Runtime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime

    The Common Language Runtime (CLR), the virtual machine component of Microsoft.NET Framework, manages the execution of .NET programs. Just-in-time compilation converts the managed code (compiled intermediate language code) into machine instructions which are then executed on the CPU of the computer. [1]

  7. Proton (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)

    It is a collection of software and libraries combined with a patched version of Wine to improve performance and compatibility with Windows games. Proton is designed for integration into the Steam client as "Steam Play". [3] It is officially distributed through the client, although third-party forks can be manually installed.

  8. Dynamic recompilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recompilation

    In computer science, dynamic recompilation is a feature of some emulators and virtual machines, where the system may recompile some part of a program during execution. By compiling during execution, the system can tailor the generated code to reflect the program's run-time environment, and potentially produce more efficient code by exploiting information that is not available to a traditional ...

  9. Computer compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_compatibility

    Software compatibility can refer to the compatibility that a particular software has running on a particular CPU architecture such as Intel or PowerPC. [1] Software compatibility can also refer to ability for the software to run on a particular operating system. Very rarely is a compiled software compatible with multiple different CPU ...
