MACHINE-INDEPENDENT

In Computer science, a machine-independent program is any program that can be run by any computer, without regard to its architecture or operating system.Any well-written Java or .NET application could be machine-independent because these platforms run on virtual machines on top of the real computer. The real machine-dependent part is the virtual machine, so this is the (usually little compared to the class libraries) chunk of code that needs to be ported.
