Java JVM architecture

| I am curious if anyone have come across a good article or book that
| describe how JVM operates.

There are several JVMs.  To be honest, I don't actually know how many.
To understand them all at once, one should understand the
specification.

| Stuff like how it maps its allocated memory into
| the operating system virtual memory,  how it manage the memory and how one
| can control it,

I'm not sure if that would be specified.  I would expect each JVM to
make different tradeoffs (some not documented).

| java security from the system admin point of view.

That's a bit of a nebulous topic.  Lots of issues could fit under
that, I think.
