Solaris™ Application
Programming is a comprehensive guide to optimizing the
performance of applications running in your Solaris environment.
From the fundamentals of system performance to using analysis and
optimization tools to their fullest, this wide-ranging resource
shows developers and software architects how to get the most from
Solaris systems and applications.
Whether you're new to performance
analysis and optimization or an experienced developer searching for
the most efficient ways to solve performance issues, this practical
guide gives you the background information, tips, and techniques
for developing, optimizing, and debugging applications on
Solaris.
The text begins with a detailed overview of
the components that affect system performance. This is followed by
explanations of the many developer tools included with Solaris OS
and the Sun Studio compiler, and then it takes you beyond the
basics with practical, real-world examples. In addition, you will
learn how to use the rich set of developer tools to identify
performance problems, accurately interpret output from the tools,
and choose the smartest, most efficient approach to correcting
specific problems and achieving maximum system performance.
Coverage includes
A discussion of the chip multithreading
(CMT) processors from Sun and how they change the way that
developers need to think about performance
A detailed introduction to the performance
analysis and optimization tools included with the Solaris OS and
Sun Studio compiler
Practical examples for using the developer
tools to their fullest, including informational tools, compilers,
floating point optimizations, libraries and linking, performance
profilers, and debuggers
Guidelines for interpreting tool analysis
output
Optimization, including hardware
performance counter metrics and source code optimizations
Techniques for improving application
performance using multiple processes, or multiple threads
An overview of hardware and software
components that affect system performance, including coverage of
SPARC and x64 processors

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 2 reviews. Excellent!, 2008-05-24 Reviewer rating: Darryl Gove does an excellent job of covering approaches
to performance analysis and improvement. In addition,
he does an excellent job of presenting and explaining
all of the tools available on Solaris. I found myself
not only with a better idea of what is available on
Solaris, but with a better idea of what to look for on
the other platforms.
The clarity with which the entire book is written
and the level of detail it goes into is just perfect.
Highly recommended!
| Loved it, 2008-03-16 Reviewer rating: I have been a follower of Darryl's blog and i think this book sort of summarises the latest technologies available on the Sun platform and how to use them. Love this book and i consider it the latest reference guide on Solaris. Definitely a must have for performance buffs! |
