Product Description The operating system for IBM's RISC System/6000 contains many features to improve performance. AIX Performance Tuning describes the ways in which these features can and should be used, as well as some of the tradeoffs and potential pitfalls. Key topics covered include basic concepts of performance measurement and tuning; why small changes can make big differences in performance; how to design and implement systems and programs for best performance; how to analyze and tune existing systems and programs for maximum CPU, memory, disk, and communications performance; and how to interrogate, set, and tune all of the major AIX performance parameters. From the Back Cover Covering Releases 3.2.5 and 4.1, this book provides information on the concepts, tools, and techniques for assessing and tuning the performance of AIX on IBM's RISC System/6000. Focuses on efficient system and application design and implementation; as well as post-implementation tuning of CPU use, memory use, disk I/O, and communications I/O. For programmers, system managers, and end users concerned with performance tuning of AIX systems.
