Abstract
A virtual machine with a hybrid just-in-time compiler that enables execution of a set of cross-platform code on a hardware platform. The hybrid just-in-time compiler consumes relatively few resources of the hardware platform by compiling only selected basic blocks of the cross-platform code and by making use of existing elements in the virtual machine that are otherwise used to interpret the cross-platform code. The just-in-time compiler is hybrid in that only selected basic blocks of the cross-platform code are compiled while the remaining portions are interpreted.
