Product Description
Linux Server Performance Tuning provides the knowledge and skillsneeded to understand and improve the performance of Linux servers. Itdescribes the collective practical experience of IBM Linux TechnologyCenter experts in Linux performance monitoring, evaluation andmeasurement, analysis, and tuning of Linux servers. It discussesmethodologies for improving and maximizing the performance of businessserver applications running on an Intel-based hardware platform and theLinux operating system. Readers will obtains valuable insight into thetuning techniques needed to improve the performance of their softwarerunning on Linux. This includes an overview of the Linux kernel(including installation), a synopsis of the various Linux performancetools that can be used to isolate performance issues, and how to usethem, and tuning principles, strategies and techniques for variousLinux components such as the scheduler, memory and I/O subsystems. Inaddition, case studies for tuning these subsystems are also included,as well as the performance characterization of several Linux serverapplications, including web servers, database servers, applicationservers, and print and file servers. –This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From the Back Cover
Proven techniques for optimizing web, file, print, database, and application servers
Practical introductions to open source performance management tools
Easy-to-understand examples based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
An indispensable guide to maximizing Linux system and application performance
From Wall Street to Hollywood, Linux runs manyof the world’s most businesscritical systems. Linux performance nowimpacts the entire enterprise. In Performance Tuning for Linux Servers,a team of IBM’s most-experienced Linux performance specialists showsyou how to find bottlenecks, measure performance, and identifyeffective optimizations.
This book doesn’t just cover kernel tuning: itshows how to maximize the end-to-end performance of real-worldapplications and databases running on Linux. Throughout, the authorspresent realistic examples based on today’s most popular enterpriseLinux platforms, Intel-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Novell SUSELinux Enterprise Server. These examples are designed for simplicity,clarity, and easy adaptation to any contemporary Linux environment.You’ll discover how to
Install and configure Linux for maximum performance from the outset
Evaluate and choose the right hardware architecture for your Linux environment
Understand Linux kernels 2.4 through 2.6: components, performance issues, and optimization opportunities
Master core Linux performance tuning principles and strategies
