In

computer architectures

For example, a Game Boy receives its software through a cartridge, which contains code that runs natively on the Game Boy.[2] The only way to run this code on another processor is to use an emulator, which simulates an actual Game Boy.[3] This usually comes at the cost of speed.[4]

Applications

Something running on a

application programming interface specific for the Windows NT kernel, which can be used to give access to some kernel functions, which cannot be directly accessed through a more universal Windows API
.

Operating systems

Used to denote either the absence of virtualization or virtualization at its lowest level. When various levels of virtualization take place, the lowest level operating system—the one that actually maintains direct control of the hardware—is referred to as a "Native VM," for example.

Machine code

instruction sets are then interpreted by the computer. With this, there is no need for translation. machine code is strictly numerical and usually isn't what programmers program in, due to this complex nature.[6] Machine code is also as close as you can get to the processor, so using this language, you are programming specifically for that processor as machine code for each processor may differ.[7] Typically programmers will code in high-level languages such as C, C++, Pascal, (or other directly compiled languages) which gets translated into assembly code, which then translates it into machine code (or in most cases the compiler generates machine code directly). Since each CPU is different, programs need to be recompiled or rewritten in order to work on that CPU.[8]

Data

Applied to

data, native data formats or communication protocols are those supported by a certain computer hardware
or software, with maximal consistency and minimal amount of additional components.

For example,

graphic modes
.

Cloud computing

In cloud computing, "cloud native" refers to the software approach of building, deploying, and managing modern applications in cloud computing environments, for software optimised for running on a cloud-based platform. A cloud native application typically consists of individual modular microservices.
