Osnova přednášek:

1. Runtime for C/C++, static vs. dynamic linking, position independent code, memory management.

2. Calling conventions, system calls, signals and exceptions.

3. Virtual machines for high-level languages: JVM, MSIL, Squeak, SELF.

4. Organization of object heap. Object table. Immediate values.

5. Memory management, basic garbage collection methods.

6. Bytecode and its interpretation.

7. Just-in-time compilations, method lookup optimizations techniques.

8. Advanced optimization techniques: inlining, custom-compilation. SELF SIC.

9. Thread implementation. Green vs. Native threads.

10. JVM: mapping of threads and synchonization primitives to OS resources.

11. Exceptions - implementation in C++, JVM, Smalltalk.

12. Security mechanisms in VMs. Verification of the bytecode. Security Manager.
