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.
