Java Memmory management

[ragi singh]

hi all ,

Please share links giving information on Java Memmory management ie how and where in memmory classes , statics and variables are stored and also some information on processor bound instructions in Java .

[Rob Spoor]

How about you ShowSomeEffort first? Have you searched a bit on Google? Have you read the Java Language Specification? Any other Oracle (previously Sun) documentation?

yes i have searched a lot and all i could get was information on memmory management using the garbage collector , however i would like to understand how the JVM behaves when a program starts and how does the program execution affect the CPU . What are processor bound instructions ?

Here's a link: The Java Memory Model.

Search on Google for "Java memory model" and you'll find lots of other documents.
