Computing platform
In computing, a
platform
describes some sort of hardware architecture orsoftware framework that allows software to run.
For example, the platform might be an Intel 80486 processor running DOSVersion 6.0.
The platform could also be UNIX machines on an Ethernet network.
The platform defines a standard around which a system can bedeveloped.
Once the platform has been defined, software developers can produceappropriate software and managers can purchase appropriate hardwareand applications.
The term is often used as a synonym of operating system.
Cross-platform
(also known as
multi-platform
) refer to the idea that agiven piece of computer software is able to be run on more than one computerplatform.There are two major types of cross-platform software
One requires building for each platform that it supports (e.g., is written ina compiled language, such as C)
Another can be directly run on any platform which supports it (e.g.,software written in an interpreted language such as Perl, Python, or shellscript)orsoftware written in a language which compiles to
bytecode
andthe
bytecode
is redistributed (such as is the case with Java andlanguages used in the .NET Framework).
