GraalVM is a high-performance JDK designed to accelerate Java and other JVM languages performance.
GraalVM offers two ways to run Java applications: on the HotSpot JVM with Graal just-in-time (JIT) compiler or as an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled native executable. Besides Java, it provides runtimes for JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and a number of other popular languages. GraalVM’s polyglot capabilities make it possible to mix programming languages in a single application while eliminating any foreign language call costs.
This distribution of GraalVM Community includes:
- Java runtime with the GraalVM compiler
- Node.js runtime with the GraalVM JavaScript interpreter
- LLVM runtime
The GraalVM environment can be extended with optionally available components such as Native Image, Ruby, R, Python, LLVM Toolchain, WebAssembly and Espresso using the GraalVM Updater tool.
