The specific term is java virtual machine. It takes java byte code and translates it into machine code, then executes it. Personally I wish MS could still distribute their JVM, it was at least 10x if not 100x faster then Sun's sluggish POS JVM. Plus I find that a lot of stuff doesn't even run on Sun's that did on MS's JVM.
