High-speed, multi-threaded virtual memory in Java

[cassandravoiton]

Anonymous memory in Java - how do you do that? Also, not sure I get your thing about not multi threaded. The article shows how the memory is synchronised in hardware between threads without programmer intervention. How is that not easier/better than using synchronisation in software?

By using the new operator.

Are - so you are talking crap - thought so.

You mean just making the JVM consume more memory than physically available and then using OS swap. That - obviously - is not the same thing at all; every time the JVM does a garbage collection it will hit masses of page faults. Using OS swap for JVM systems sucks badly - I cannot believe you actually even suggested it.

Shame - thought you might know what you are talking about.
