JVM Compiler Team. The Java Virtual Machine is a core component of the Java SE platform. It implements the Java Virtual Machine Specification, and is delivered as a shared library in the Java Runtime Environment. As the Java bytecode execution engine, it provides Java runtime facilities, such as thread and object synchronization, on a variety of operating systems and architectures. It efficiently manages the Java heap using garbage collectors, optimized for both low pause time and throughput. It provides data and information to profiling, monitoring and debugging tools and applications.

The Compiler Team is responsible for development and maintenance of the Virtual Machine's just-in-time (JIT) compilers that adaptively compile Java bytecodes into optimized machine instructions. The team works hard to ensure high performance on all supported platforms and stays up-to-date on current and future hardware. Feature development projects to take advantage of new hardware features and to increase stability and performance are always part of the team's focus. The team is also deeply involved in work for ongoing and future key JDK projects including Projects Valhalla, Loom, Panama and ZGC.
