Part 2: Memory Management and Execution

Continuing our exploration, we dive into the JVM’s execution engine, uncovering how bytecode is interpreted and the nuances of just-in-time compilation for optimal performance. Shifting focus, we venture into memory management, unraveling the intricacies of the heap and stack, and the art of memory allocation. Delving deeper, our journey extends into garbage collection algorithms and memory profiling techniques. Together, these chapters offer a concise yet comprehensive guide to the critical aspects of execution and memory within the JVM.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Execution Engine
• Chapter 5, Memory Management
• Chapter 6, Garbage Collection and Memory Profiling
