hey Guys if you want to know the secrets of the JVM and its behavior here is a useful command.
which will give you the important information about the JVM memory Mappings.
jmap prints shared object memory maps or heap memory details of a given
process or core file or remote debug server.
NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in
future versions of the J2SE SDK. jmap is not currently available on
Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform.
U
sage
jmap [option] pid
jmap [option] executable core
jmap [option] [server-id@]remote-hostname-or-IP
OPTIONS
<no option> When no option is used jmap prints shared object mappings. For each shared object loaded in the target VM, start address, the size of the mapping, and the full path of the shared
object file are printed. This is similar to the Solaris pmap utility.
-heap Prints a heap summary. GC algorithm used, heap configuration and generation wise heap
usage are printed.
-histo Prints a histogram of the heap. For each Java class, number of objects, memory size in
bytes, and fully qualified class names are printed. VM internal class names are printed
with ’*’ prefix.
-permstat Prints class loader wise statistics of permanent generation of Java heap. For each class
loader, its name, liveness, address, parent class loader, and the number and size of
classes it has loaded are printed.
-h Prints a help message.
Example
jmap -heap 2709
using thread-local object allocation.
