Encyclopedia > HotSpot (Java)

HotSpot is the primary Java Virtual Machine for desktops and servers produced by Sun Microsystems. It was originally developed by a small startup company (also responsible for Strongtalk) which was bought up by Sun. A Java virtual machine or JVM is a virtual machine that runs Java byte code. ... Sun Microsystems Logo Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW) is a Silicon Valley-based computer, semiconductor and software manufacturer. ...


In Sun's JDK, it consists of two interchangeable versions, one called Client and the other Server. The Client version is tuned for quick loading and compliation of essential classes and methods only. The Server version loads slower but puts more effort into producing highly optimized JIT compliations that yield higher performance. Both use dynamic compilation and are usually amongst the top of their class of JVMs. Dynamic compilation is a process used by interpreting programming languages to gain performance during program execution. ...

Java HotSpot Virtual Machine (4533 words)
The Java HotSpot VM adheres to the same specification as the Java 2 VM, and runs the same byte codes, but it has been re-engineered to leverage new technologies like adaptive optimization and improved garbage collection models to dramatically improve the speed of the Java VM.
The Java Hotspot does not include a plug-in JIT compiler but instead compiles and inline methods that appear it has determined as being the most used in the application.
Java programs invoked with a JIT generally run much faster than when the bytecode is executed by the interpreter.
The Java HotSpot Performance Engine Architecture (6287 words)
Java HotSpot technology provides the foundation for the Java SE platform, the premier solution for rapidly developing and deploying business-critical desktop and enterprise applications.
Java HotSpot Client VM, which is tuned for best performance when running applications in a client environment by reducing application start-up time and memory footprint.
Because the Java HotSpot VM is designed to be insensitive to race conditions caused by preemption and/or multiprocessing while executing Java programming language code, the Java programming language threads will automatically take advantage of whatever scheduling and processor allocation policies the native OS provides.
