 1 | # JVM Readings
 2 | 
 3 | WORK IN PROGRESS
 4 | 
 5 | A list of papers and blog posts essential to understanding how the JVM works, and building high performance applications on the JVM. The list is curated and maintained by Reynold Xin ([@rxin](https://twitter.com/rxin)). If you think a paper should be part of this list, please submit a pull request. It might take a while since I need to go over the material.

46 | 
47 | This is a good blog post about the cost of polymorphic dispatches. But more importantly, it is a good blog post to understand performance measurement methodology.
