1. Data Areas for Each Individual Thread (not shared)

　　Data Areas for each individual thread include program counter register, JVM Stack, and Native Method Stack. They are all created when a new thread is created.

　　Program Counter Register: it is used to control each execution of each thread.
　
　　JVM Stack: It contains frames which is demonstrated in the diagram below.

　　Native Method Stack: it is used to support native methods, i.e., non-Java language methods. 　

2. Data Areas Shared by All Threads

　　All threads share Heap and Method Area.

 

　　Heap: it is the area that we most frequently deal with. It stores arrays and objects, created when JVM starts up. Garbage Collection works in this area.

 

　　Method Area: it stores run-time constant pool, field and method data, and methods and constructors code。　

 

　　Runtime Constant Pool: It is a per-class or per-interface run-time representation of the constant_pool table in a class file. It contains several kind-s of constants, ranging from numeric literals known at compile-time to method and field references that must be resolved at run-time.

 

　　

　　Stack contains Frames, and a frame is pushed to the stack when a method is invoked. A frame contains local variable array, Operand Stack, Reference to Constant Pool.
