Tracing just-in-time compilation

Tracing just-in-time compilation is a technique used by virtual machines to optimize the execution of a program at runtime. This is done by recording a linear sequence of frequently executed operations, compiling them to native machine code and executing them. In contrast, traditional just-in-time compilation (JIT) compiles each method in turn, without optimizing between them.
