runtime
Meaning: The period during which a computer program is executing; also the software environment that supports the execution of a program.
Runtime has two related meanings in computing. First, it refers to the execution phase of a program (as opposed to compile time or design time). Second, it refers to the runtime environment — the software framework that provides services like memory management and input/output handling while a program runs. Common examples include the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Node.js runtime.
Examples
- The application crashed at runtime due to an unhandled null reference exception. 该应用程序在运行时因未处理的空引用异常而崩溃。La aplicación se bloqueó en tiempo de ejecución debido a una excepción de referencia nula no controlada.そのアプリケーションは、処理されなかったnull参照例外によりランタイムでクラッシュした。해당 애플리케이션은 처리되지 않은 null 참조 예외로 인해 런타임에서 충돌했다.
- The Node.js runtime allows developers to execute JavaScript code on the server side. Node.js运行时允许开发人员在服务器端执行JavaScript代码。El runtime de Node.js permite a los desarrolladores ejecutar código JavaScript en el lado del servidor.Node.jsランタイムにより、開発者はサーバーサイドでJavaScriptコードを実行できる。Node.js 런타임을 통해 개발자는 서버 측에서 JavaScript 코드를 실행할 수 있다.
- Runtime performance testing revealed that the algorithm scaled poorly with large datasets. 运行时性能测试表明该算法在处理大型数据集时扩展性很差。Las pruebas de rendimiento en tiempo de ejecución revelaron que el algoritmo escalaba mal con conjuntos de datos grandes.ランタイムのパフォーマンステストにより、そのアルゴリズムは大規模なデータセットではスケーラビリティが低いことが判明した。런타임 성능 테스트 결과, 해당 알고리즘은 대규모 데이터셋에서 확장성이 낮은 것으로 드러났다.

Origin & History
A compound of 'run' (Old English rinnan, to flow) and 'time' (Old English tima). The computing sense emerged in the 1960s as programming languages distinguished between compile-time and execution-time operations.
