Ask HN: Best book to learn about the JVM?

12 pointsby CRUDmeariverabout 7 years ago
I want to learn more about garbage collection tuning, common bottlenecks, how to use threads properly, the underlying implementation of the JVM and how it affects performance. I write mostly Clojure and some Java, trying to increase throughput of APIs. Looking for a more systematic learning method than trial and error through endless load tests.

&quot;Inside the Java Virtual Machine&quot; old but good book about JVM impl by Bill Veneers with some chapters online:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.artima.com&#x2F;insidejvm&#x2F;ed2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.artima.com&#x2F;insidejvm&#x2F;ed2&#x2F;</a>
