SynopsisWritten in Henry Liu's clear, concise style, Java Performance and Scalability gets right to the point. With clearly explained concepts, most pertinent theories, precise step-by-step procedures, and large volume of illustrative charts and tables with highly reliable data supporting behind, you gain quickly the necessary knowledge and skills for being able to cope with Java performance and scalability issues without having to resort to more experienced professionals or expensive external consultants. Specifically, it helps you learn the following knowledge and skills that are essential for you to become more effective and efficient in contributing to the success of your organization:* What you need to know about the architecture of ubiquitous, state-of-the-art, multicore hardware so that you can make smart decisions on when you should pour your time on your application and when you can just throw in more advanced hardware to get by.* What you need to know about garbage collection theories in general and how they are implemented with widely used Java Virtual Machines like HotSpot JVMs.* Precise methodologies, procedures, programs and scripts that you can start to use immediately to help you profile and tune your Java applications.* How you can design and build performance and scalability into your product proactively without having to face tough retrofitting decisions or even torrents of customer escalations later on.* Optimizing and tuning Java performance and scalability on Linux.* CPU frequency scaling benefits and side effects with Intel's Turbo Boost Technology on Linux and WindowsIn addition, the book contains many concrete examples of solving real Java performance and scalability issues with real Java software products in various scales of production environments. It's worthwhile to get a glimpse of the scope and the depth of what an established, full-time software performance engineer knows, which you can use as a reference to build your own career accordingly and successfully., Written in Henry Liu's clear, concise style, Java Performance and Scalability gets right to the point.
