༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ JVM Internals ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Demystified! ( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡°) ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
What we will NOT see here • Pure JVM boring
theory • Assembly fear stuff • 0xFF • 0100111
What we will see here • Why internals? • Method
Area • Heap • Threads • Further reading • Funny Gifs and images!
Bonjour
Hi! I’m Hanneli São Paulo, Brazil
Hi! I’m Hanneli Meanwhile here in Canada
None
No advanced stuff Simplified way
If you understand computer architecture classes You understand JVM
Why do I Need to Understand Internals?
We live in a simplified era
All externalised
All externalised (Almost)Normal dressed developers (external)
Do I need internal details?
Developer showing internal details
Memory analyse • Help! Perm gem problems! • Search for
memory leaks • Memory analyser tools • Understand how JVM works
What’s the relation between: JVM Memory Bytecode Assembly Low Level
OpCode Operator Operation Java
None
How do I get started? • http://www.artima.com/insidejvm/ed2/jvmP.html
How do I get started?
JVM - Low level Assembly
I know how to write Java code
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ classes ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
What happens when I invoke a method in Java
WAIT How many kinds of methods do you know?
2 types of methods Clazz.method(); object.method(); static instance
From Assembly classes: op code + operand operation + operand
operation + operand add r1, r2 public int add(int r1,
int r2) operation operators == parameters
Method calls in JVM static instance operation + operand operation
+ operand invokevirtual invokestatic
Where are the Operands? Special place
Where are the Operands? Real place
Symbolic place called pool
JVM keeps this fake references It’s a strategy to deal
with dynamic linking
While JVM does need the content of this fake box
(pool), it remais unresolved
Each fake reference for each method is unique
Each fake reference for each method is unique So JVM
can replace the fake calls with true invokes.
Back to methods Clazz.method(int a); object.method(parameter); class Lol { public
int myMethod(int a){ // } } Class stuff
Method Area JVM Class stuff Class stuff Class stuff Non-Heap
Code Cache Permanent Generation
Done? object
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ object ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Method Area JVM Class stuff Class stuff Class stuff Non-Heap
Permanent Generation HEAP Permanent Generation object object object
Young gen JVM - The Heap HEAP Lol lol =
new LOL(); lol object object object
JVM - The Heap HEAP Permanent Generation object object object
object object object object object object object object object object object object object Hey, Im’m heavy
JVM - The Heap HEAP Permanent Generation object object object
object object object object object object object object object object object object object Checks all the objects on the heap Garbage collector
Old gen Young generation JVM - The Heap HEAP object
object Eden lol Survivor object Will be taken for GC
Last step Where does my application run?
Last step public static void main(String[] args){ …}
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ thread ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
JVM - Thread Thread Heap Non-Heap
JVM - Thread Thread Program Counter Stack Frame Frame Frame
Frame Frame Local variables [] Return Value Pointer to Method Area Pointer to Heap Area Operand Operand Operand Operand Stack
JVM - Sum up Program Counter Stack Frame Frame Frame
Frame Heap Non-Heap Object instances Class Stuff/ Method Area Similar to Computer Architecture

( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡°) JVM ( ͡° ͜ ʖ
