In computing, the execution of programs written in high-level languages requires that the source code be compiled to a low-level or native language. This compilation is referred to as Ahead-of-Time (AOT) and is typically done during build time. Effectively reducing the work to be done during runtime. In case of Java, the AOT produces an intermediate binary, viz. bytecode, which is then translated to native machine code during execution by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
