JVM

Disclaimer: This presentation is prepared by trainees of baabtra as a part of mentoring program. This is not official document of baabtra –Mentoring PartnerBaabtra-Mentoring Partner is the mentoring division of baabte System Technologies Pvt . Ltd

JAVA

• Java programming language was originally developed by Sun

Microsystems.

• Object Oriented : In Java, everything is an Object based.

• Platform independent.

Virtual Machine

• A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a

machine (for example, a computer) that executes programs

like a physical machine.

•  Virtual machines are separated into two major

classifications:

system virtual machine and process virtual machine.

JVM

• A Java virtual machine (JVM) is a process virtual

machine that can execute java byte code.

• JVM converts Java byte code into machine language and

executes it.

• JVM is platform dependent : JVMs are available for many

hardware and software platforms.

• JVM gives Java the flexibility of platform independence.

Execution engine

Class loader

• All Java virtual machines include one class loader that is

embedded in the virtual machine. 

• Class loader loads java classes into java virtual machine.

• Class loader reads bytecode and creates the instance of

java.lang.class. 

Execution engine

• The execution engine helps JVM to convert bytecode into

machine code.

• A mechanism responsible for executing the instructions

contained in the methods of loaded classes.

Stack

• Stack stores various method arguments and local variables of

any method .

• There are three registers that help in stack manipulation.

– Vars register

– Frame register

– Optop register

Sections in stack

• Local variable

– This section contain all local variable being used by current method.

• Execution environment

– Execution section is used to maintain the operation of stack itself.

• Operand stack

– The operand stack is used as a work space by bytecode instruction.

Method Area

• This is the area where byte code is placed.

• The program counter points to the next instruction in the

method area.

• After the execution of an instruction , JVM set pc to next

instruction.

Garbage Collected Heap

• The object in java program are stored in Garbage collected

heap.

• Arrays in java program are objects, hence they also stored

in heap.

• Java does not have a free operator to free any previously

allocated memory.

• Java done this automatically by Garbage collection

mechanism.

• JRE is an acronym for Java Runtime Environment.

• Java Runtime Environment contains JVM, class libraries, and

other supporting files.

• It does not contain any development tools such as compiler,

debugger, etc

JRE

JDK

• JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit . It physically

exists . It contains JRE + development tools.

JIT

• Just-in-time Compiler -is the part of the Java Virtual Machine

(JVM) that is used to speed up the execution time.

• JIT compiles parts of the byte code that have similar

functionality at the same time, and hence reduces the amount

of time needed for compilation. 

Is java a compiled or interpreted language ?

• Java is a compiled language because the source code is

converted into byte code.

• Java is an interpreted language because the byte code is

interpreted by a virtual machine.
