Abstract
The invention relates to compilation and persistence of intermediate language code. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method first inputs intermediate language code. The method compiles this code into corresponding native code, in a non-just-in-time manner. For example, the code is compiled as an installation-type procedure, or the code is compiled in the background during free processor cycles. The method then outputs the native code. For example, the native code is persisted to a hard disk drive or a non-volatile memory. After the installation compilation process, the native code can be loaded and executed.
