The java hotspot TM server compiler

The Java HotSpotTM Server Compiler achieves improved asymptotic performance through a combination of object-oriented and classical-compiler optimizations. Aggressive inlining using class-hierarchy analysis reduces function call overhead and provides opportunities for many compiler optimizations.
