 Virtual machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general terms, a virtual machine in computer science is software that creates an environment between the computer platform and the end user in which the end user can operate software.
Virtual machines can also perform the role of an emulator, allowing software applcations and operating systems written for another computer processor architecture to be run.
The term virtual machine is now also used to refer to the environment created by an emulator, where software is used to emulate an operating system for the end user.

 virtual machine - a Whatis.com definition
1) Virtual machine is a term used by Sun Microsystems, developers of the Java programming language and runtime environment, to describe software that acts as an interface between compiler Java binary code and the microprocessor (or "hardware platform") that actually performs the program's instructions.
The virtual machine idea is itself one of the most elegant in the history of technology and is a crucial step in the evolution of ideas about software.
4) Elsewhere, virtual machine has been used to mean either an operating system or any program that runs a computer.

 The Symbolics Virtual Lisp Machine
One of the features of Lisp Machines (one of the technologies that allowed its creation) is the use of microcode to implement complex instructions closely tuned to the language-level concepts of Lisp.
The sole purpose of a Lisp Machine is to support the execution of the Lisp language in hardware.
The performance of the first version of the Virtual Lisp Machine running on a DEC Alpha AXP 500 is very competitive with the performance of Symbolics' most advanced custom hardware.

 Virtual Turing Machine 2.02
A Turing machine is theoretical computer consisting of a finite set of internal states, a finite alphabet that includes a blank symbol, and a finite set of instructions.
When the machine does not have an instruction for a given internal state and cell value, it will halt.
That means the machine will halt no matter what value it encounters once it's in state 's1'.
