P-Code Machine
A P-code machine is a virtual machine that executes P-code, which is a type of assembly language or machine code. This concept has been utilized in various programming environments, including the Java virtual machine and MATLAB. The P-code term originated in the early 1970s and allows for a two-stage approach to program execution, separating the interpreter from the machine code compiler.
