Abstract
Managed code, including applications, runtime, and driver, have a priori knowledge of the client's exact hardware configuration, just as the JIT compiler has a priori knowledge of the microprocessor type on the target computer system. At compile time, the compiler knows the effective version various system drivers, so that the compiler can emit an executable tuned for a particular driver version and target system.
