Published in June 2010, "Oracle JRockit: The Definitive Guide" discusses Oracle's high-performance java virtual machine (JVM), JRocket. The authors discuss coding best practices and provide insights on techniques to analyze application behavior and gain performance. Here's what the authors say you will learn from the book:
Get to grips with the fundamental building blocks of a JVM: the code generator, the garbage collector, and the implementation of threads and synchronization. Learn the design philosophy behind the JRockit JVM in these areas.
Become a better Java programmer through enhanced understanding of the Java runtime.
Learn how program execution works in an adaptive environment.
Create relevant benchmarks and accurately measure the performance of your Java application.
Learn the most important command-line flags that control JRockit subsystems and their use for performance tuning.
Get to know what JRockit Mission Control is, how to set it up, and how to trouble-shoot it.
Use the JRockit Management Console to monitor and manage a running JRockit instance.
Profile your JRockit JVM and Java application with near zero overhead using the JRockit Runtime Analyzer and the JRockit Flight Recorder.
Detect and resolve Java memory leaks using the JRockit Memory Leak Detector tool.
Learn how JRockit Virtual Edition works and why it outperforms other Java solutions in traditional virtualized environments.
