A JVM Does That

Explore the inner workings of Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) in this insightful 52-minute conference talk by Dr. Cliff Click at Devoxx. Delve into the impressive features of JVMs, including high-quality garbage collectors, compilers, uniform threading and memory models, dynamic code loading, introspection, reflection, and extensive pre-built libraries. Discover the origins of these services, their importance, and potential limitations. Gain valuable insights into the challenges faced by JVMs and learn about desired services that are currently unattainable. Benefit from Dr. Click's extensive experience, including his work on the HotSpot JVM for nearly 15 years and his role in creating the HotSpot Server Compiler, which revolutionized JIT compilation and helped bring Java into the mainstream.
