A deep understanding of these tools and techniques is critical for developers today. Implementing the strategies described in this thoroughly revised and updated edition can lead to a better end-user experience and lower costs, especially for cloud computing environments that charge by the OS instance. Systems performance expert and best-selling author Brendan Gregg summarizes relevant operating system, hardware, and application theory to quickly get professionals up to speed even if theyve never analyzed performance before. Gregg then provides in-depth explanations of the latest tools and techniques, including extended BPF, and shows how to get the most out of cloud, web, and large-scale enterprise systems. Key topics covered include * Hardware, kernel, and application internals, and how they perform * Methodologies for rapid performance analysis of complex systems * Optimizing CPU, memory, file system, disk, and networking usage * Sophisticated profiling and tracing with perf, Ftrace, and BPF (BCC and bpftrace) * Performance challenges associated with cloud computing hypervisors * Benchmarking more effectively Featuring up-to-date coverage of Linux operating systems and environments, ***Systems Performance, Second Edition,*** also addresses issues that apply to any computer system. The book will be a go-to reference for many years to come and, like the first edition, required reading at leading tech companies. *Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
