DESCRIPTION:
Focusing exclusively on SPARC hardware and UNIX, this tutorial/reference on Sun Performance Tuning contains hard recommendations and expert opinions that are often needed, but not found in other books on the subject. Includes an appendix on a measurement methodology that describes a way of analyzing and modelling the performance of multiuser systems using sophisticated tools.
It features up-to-date Sun-specific information (e.g., using optimizing compilers), and other aspects of performance tuning (e.g., virtual memory paging algorithms). . From the Publisher This comprehensive exploration of Sun performance and tuning contains the kind of hard recommendations and opinions that are often needed, but which are not normally found in the formal documentation. This tutorial and reference focuses exclusively on SPARC hardware and Unix and discusses and compares all of Sun's operating system releases, from SunOS 4.1 through to Solaris 2.4
"Great book" according to A Customer. I'd recommend this book to any Solaris Systems Administrator/Benchmark Engineer who deals with Performance Monitoring and tuning at this job. The book goes in great technical detail about the various parameters.

Best performance tuning reference around for Solaris Great book. I can't say enough good things about Adrian's work. This book has lots of useful information on improving performance on Solaris machines. Really good information on tuning the tcp/ip stack, however, I wish there had been more of it. If you're looking to tune Solaris, this one is a must have.. "A must read for a collection of sun performance issues" according to A Customer. Brings the reader upto speed as to the issues which couldaffect sun systems and networks. This is a murky areaand throws light on how a admin can look at each issue judicously and eliminate them one by one and get to the root cause of the problem.
