Runtime Architecture:
Runtime Architecture is the specific type of hardware and software platform that a software application is designed to run on. This includes the operating system, processor architecture, and memory requirements. It is important to choose the right targeted runtime architecture for your application so that it will perform well and be compatible with the devices that your users are using.
Runtime Environment:
Runtime Environment is the specific set of software libraries and tools that a software application needs to run. This includes the programming language runtime, database driver, and web server. It is important to choose the right targeted runtime environment for your application so that it will have all the necessary resources to run correctly.
Here are some examples of Runtime architectures and targeted runtime environments:
Runtime architecture: x86-64 processor running Windows 10 or 11
Runtime environment: .NET Framework 4.8
Runtime architecture: ARM64 processor running Android 13
Runtime environment: Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 17
Runtime architecture: Web browser
Runtime environment: JavaScript engine (e.g., V8, SpiderMonkey)
When choosing a Runtime architecture and Runtime environment for your application, it is important to consider the following factors:
The target audience for your application. What devices and operating systems are they using?
The features and functionality of your application. What software libraries and tools does it need to run?
The performance and scalability requirements of your application.
Once you have chosen a targeted runtime architecture and targeted runtime environment, you can start developing and testing your application. It is important to test your application on the same hardware and software platform that your target users will be using. This will help you to identify any compatibility issues or performance problems.
