Chapter 5. Memory and Thread Pool Management

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is the most important part of a Java application, because it is the part that will run our application and store all your classes, objects, and methods. In this chapter, we delve a little deeper into the JVM and learn to change the parameters used by the JVM, such as memory and Garbage Collection (GC). It is important to note that there are spaces in the JVM memory. We will see how the memory area is divided and what the function of each area is. When we run our applications, we do not know, in fact, what happens internally within the JVM. Virtually, all issues, particularly the GC and memory allocation, pass unnoticed. This chapter will help us understand more about the importance that the JVM has to an application in terms of performance and other points.
