C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance

.NET Native and JIT compilation

JIT compilation is done mostly at runtime, and it converts the MSIL code to the native machine code. This is when the code is run the first time, and it takes a little bit more time than its successive runs. In .NET Core today, we are developing applications for mobile and handheld devices that have limited resources in terms of CPU power and memory. Currently, the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and the Xamarin platform run on .NET Core. With these platforms, .NET Core automatically generates that native assembly at compilation time or while generating the platform-specific packages. Though it does not require the JIT compilation process to be done at runtime, this eventually increases the performance of ...
