Java™ Performance

Acknowledgments

Charlie Hunt

Without the help of so many people this book would not have been possible. First I have to thank my coauthor, Binu John, for his many contributions to this book. Binu wrote all the Java EE material in this book. He is a talented Java performance engineer and a great friend. I also want to thank Greg Doech, our editor, for his patience. It took almost three years to go from a first draft of the book’s chapter outline until we handed over a manuscript. Thank you to Paul Hohensee and Dave Keenan for their insight, encouragement, support, and thorough reviews. To Tony Printezis and Tom Rodriguez, thanks for your contributions on the details of the inner workings of the Java HotSpot VM garbage collectors and JIT compilers. ...
