	The lean, mean, virtual machine - Java World
		The JVM is "virtual" because it is generally implemented in software on top of a "real" hardware platform and operating system.
		The JVM is central to Java's portability because compiled Java programs run on the JVM, independent of whatever may be underneath a particular JVM implementation.
		The JVM is mean because it of its ambition.

	virtual machine - a definition from Whatis.com
		Java was designed to allow application programs to be built that could be run on any platform without having to be rewritten or recompiled by the programmer for each separate platform.
		The Java virtual machine specification defines an abstract rather than a real "machine" (or processor) and specifies an instruction set, a set of registers, a stack, a "garbage heap," and a method area.
		A Java virtual machine can either interpret the bytecode one instruction at a time (mapping it to a real microprocessor instruction) or the bytecode can be compiled further for the real microprocessor using what is called a just-in-time compiler.

	Inside Java : The Java Virtual Machine
		This month, we examine the Java Virtual Machine, which allows Java code to be executed on a wide variety of hardware and software environments.
		It is the responsibility of the JVM to handle these translations, so that the operating system and CPU architecture on which Java software is running is completely irrelevant to the developer.
		The idea of virtual machines is nothing new, but Java is the most widely used virtual machine used today.

	vmspec: Java Virtual Machine Architecture
		The virtual machine specifies that floating point be done in IEEE 754 format, with support for gradual underflow.
		Programs represented by Java Virtual Machine bytecodes are expected to maintain proper type discipline and an implementation may refuse to execute a bytecode program that appears to violate such type discipline.
		While the Java Virtual Machines would appear to be limited by the bytecode definition to running on a 32-bit address space machine, it is possible to build a version of the Java Virtual Machine that automatically translates the bytecodes into a 64-bit form.

	Java's Architecture and the Challenges and Opportunies of Networks
		While "Java interpreter" is a reasonable name for a Java virtual machine that interprets bytecodes, virtual machines also use other techniques (such as just-in-time compiling) to execute bytecodes.
		As virtual machine technology has advanced, great strides have been made in performance--even so far as to bring Java performance on par with natively compiled C. The first Java virtual machine that appeared in 1995 executed bytecodes with an interpreter, a simple technique that yields very poor performance.
		Although virtual machine portability is important in a networked environment, the vague specification of thread scheduling leaves programmers with little knowledge, and no control, of how their threads will be scheduled.

	Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface
		The Java virtual machine is a multithreaded and garbage-collected execution environment that generates various events of interest for the profiler.
		On the other hand, virtual machine implementations from different vendors may be different enough that it is impossible to expose all the interesting events through a general-purpose interface.
		A straightforward solution is to require the virtual machine to record all profiling events in a trace file, whether or not these events are enabled by the profiler agent.

		However, because the Virtual Machine is stack based, its registers are not used for passing or receiving arguments.
		Java's operand stack is not contiguous like the operand stacks you may be familiar with from programming in other languages.
		Reproducing a machine within your computer's memory requires seven key objects: a set of registers, a stack, an execution environment, a garbage-collected heap, a constant pool, a method storage area, and a mechanism to tie it all together.

	Java Virtual Machine
		Java is different, first byte code is produced, then when its ready to be executed, they byte code is interpreted.
		Java Virtual Machine is the software which interprets this byte code and runs a java program.
		Java applets are not dependent on one OS, making it a very useful language to write it, as the same code may work over many different computers.

		The Java HotSpot performance engine does not use handles and the individual objects are typically smaller, so for large applications the footprint might be less.
		Virtually all programs spend the vast majority of their time executing a small minority of their code.

		A Java Virtual Machine (JVM), originally developed by Sun Microsystems, is a virtual machine that executes Java bytecode.
		The JVM is a crucial component of the Java Platform.
		This binary is then executed by the JVM runtime which carries out emulation of the JVM instruction set by interpreting it or by applying a just-in-time compiler (JIT) such as Sun's HotSpot.

	Java Virtual Machine
		The K virtual machine (KVM) is an entirely new JavaTM runtime environment that was built from the ground up to make an extremely lean implementation of the Java virtual machine for use in devices that have a small memory footprint.
		It is not a complete implementation of the Java programming language; it does not support the standard class libraries, and it does not pass the JCK compliance tests.
		It is reasonably common to implement a programming language using a virtual machine; the best-known virtual machine may be the P-Code machine of UCSD Pascal.

		Using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) makes it possible to develop additional syntaxes for expressing the problems you want to solve and gives more control over the performance of your application.
		Providing an overview and reference of the JVM, it enbles users to create their own implementations of the JVM or write their own compilers that create Java object code.
		The book is divided into two sections: the first includes information on the semantics and structure of the JVM; the second is a reference of the JVM instructions, or "opcodes." The programming guide includes numerous examples written in Java assembly language.

	What is JVM? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		An abstract computing machine, or virtual machine, JVM is a platform-independent execution environment that converts Java bytecode into machine language and executes it.
		A JVM -- a machine within a machine -- mimics a real Java processor, enabling Java bytecode to be executed as actions or operating system calls on any processor regardless of the operating system.
		Since different operating systems handle sockets in different ways, the JVM translates the programming code so that the two machines that may be on different platforms are able to connect.
