What are the types of Java memory?

Top 5 Types of Memory in Java

• Method Area. All executing threads share this part of the JVM memory area.
• Heap Memory. Heap Memory in java is used by java runtime to allocate memory to objects and class during a java program’s execution.
• Stack Memory.
• PC Registers.
• Native Area.

What is JVM memory size?

It is created at the JVM startup and stores per-class structures such as runtime constant pool, field and method data, and the code for methods and constructors, as well as interned Strings. The default maximum size of non-heap memory is 64 MB.

What are the two flavors of JVM?

The JVM comes in two flavors − client and server. Both of these share the same runtime code but differ in what JIT is used. We shall learn more on this later.

How does JVM use memory?

Java objects reside in an area called the heap. The heap is created when the JVM starts up and may increase or decrease in size while the application runs. During the garbage collection objects that are no longer used are cleared, thus making space for new objects. Note that the JVM uses more memory than just the heap.

What is mutable and immutable string?

a mutable string can be changed, and an immutable string cannot be changed.

What is JVM explain the various parts of JVM?

JVM in Java is the engine that drives the Java Code. It converts Java bytecode into machines language. JVM architecture in Java contains classloader, memory area, execution engine etc. In JVM, Java code is compiled to bytecode. This bytecode gets interpreted on different machines.

How is JVM memory allocated?

JVMs allocate memory on an as needed basis from the operating system. Generally, when the JVM starts, it will allocate the minimum memory allocated (Xms) to the application that is running. As the application requires more memory, it will allocate blocks of memory until the maximum allocation (Xmx) has been reach.
