Java Virtual Machine Internals

Question

Hey,

Can u suggest some articles or books about JVM internals: how it allocates memory, handles object inheritance, garbage collection, how it executes byte code and so on.

Answer 1

Have a look at "The Java Virtual Machine Specification": http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/

Answer 2

You might have a look at "Inside the JVM". Unfortunately I'm not aware of the existence of any new books on the subject.
