The Java Virtual Machine enables Java applications to be platform-independent while optimizing performance. One crucial component to understand, when considering performance, especially memory utilization, is how the Java Collections Framework, specifically the ArrayList, handles size and capacity. In this article, we will concentrate on the overhead caused by lists that contain two or three elements.... Continue Reading →
In Java, the finalize method has been part of the language since its early days, offering a mechanism to perform cleanup activities before an object is garbage collected. However, using finalizers has come under scrutiny due to several performance-related concerns. As of Java 9, the finalize method has been deprecated, and its use is highly... Continue Reading →
In this article, we are going to compare the performance of Garbage Collection(GC) of OpenJDK and GraalVM. The GraalVM is a popular open source JVM implementation in Java with a capability to run applications as native images. Apart from that, it has got other functionalities such as fast loading time, compacted memory usages,etc. Let’s compare the... Continue Reading →

Java threads can be in 6 different states: NEW, RUNNABLE, BLOCKED, WAITING, TIMED_WAITING, TERMINATED. When a thread is suspended (i.e., unable to progress further), it will be one of these 3 suspended thread states: BLOCKED, WAITING, TIMED_WAITING. Let's discuss these 3 states with real-life fun examples 🙂 BLOCKED A thread enters the ‘BLOCKED’ state when... Continue Reading →
