System Performance

The book is dedicated to the concepts, strategies, tools, and configuration of operating systems and applications using Linux-based systems as an example. Understanding these tools and methods is critically important in modern software development. The application of the strategies outlined... in the updated and revised edition will allow performance engineers to improve interactions with end-users and reduce costs, especially for cloud environments. Brendan Gregg – an expert in system performance and author of several bestsellers – succinctly but comprehensively presents the most important information about the operation of operating systems, hardware, and applications, enabling specialists to achieve results quickly, even if they have never dealt with performance analysis before. Furthermore, the author provides detailed explanations of the application of modern tools and methods, including extended BPF, and shows how to achieve maximum efficiency of your systems in cloud, web, and large enterprise environments.
