You can download the source of the JVM if you sign some sort of
agreement. That may be waived now.
All Java "new" has to do is something like this in assembler:
addressOfNewObject = nextFreeSlot;
nextFreeSlot += sizeOfObject;
if ( nextFreeSlot > limit ) { garbageCollect(); }
fill( addressOfNewObject, sizeOfObject, 0 );
