Effective Memory Utilization for Reliable, High-Performance Java Applications

Overview Java was intended to be an environment free from memory errors associated with programmer-managed memory, which are common in C and C++. While a significant number of problems were eliminated, other types of memory problems became part of the Java environment. Dealing with Java memory problems requires a new approach to analyzing a program's use of memory. This paper examines several types of memory-related problems that are common in Java, and how to find them. It also demonstrates techniques for profiling and optimizing a Java program's memory utilization, which can substantially improve runtime performance and reliability.
