The performance of a Java bytecode compiled Java program depends on how optimally its given tasks are managed by the host Java virtual machine (JVM), and how well the JVM exploits the features of the computer hardware and operating system (OS) in doing so.
For the execution of a single thread, the rules are simple. The Java Language Specification requires a Java virtual machine to observe within-thread as-if-serial semantics. The runtime (which, in this case, usually refers to the dynamic compiler, the processor and the memory subsystem) is free to introduce any useful execution optimizations as ...
The Java programming language and the Java virtual machine (JVM) is designed to support concurrent programming. All execution takes place in the context of threads. Objects and resources can be accessed by many separate threads. Each thread has its own path of execution, but can potentially access any object in the program.
A Java virtual machine (JVM) is a virtual machine that enables a computer to run Java programs as well as programs written in other languages that are also compiled to Java bytecode. The JVM is detailed by a specification that formally describes what is required in a JVM implementation.
In Java 1.1, green threads were the only threading model used by the Java virtual machine (JVM), [8] at least on Solaris. As green threads have some limitations compared to native threads, subsequent Java versions dropped them in favor of native threads. [9] [10]
Azul Platform Prime – a fully compliant, high-performance Java virtual machine based on OpenJDK that uses Azul Systems's C4 garbage collector and Falcon JIT compiler. JamaicaVM (aicas) – a hard real-time Java VM for embedded systems.
In computer science, compare-and-swap (CAS) is an atomic instruction used in multithreading to achieve synchronization.It compares the contents of a memory location with a given value and, only if they are the same, modifies the contents of that memory location to a new given value.
