ISBN: 0470462531 ISBN-13: 9780470462539 Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell OUR PRICE: $118.70 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 2009 Annotation: This book brings three unique perspectives in software performance optimization and tuning: the basic concepts, queuing theory, and API profiling under the framework of practical software performance thinking. This book helps software developers, quality assurance and performance engineers learn how to design and build performance and scalability into the software products they develop so that their products would go to the market faster with minimized potential for customer performance escalations. It teaches the right thinking that would lead to immediate, quantitatively measurable, and significant improvements on the performance and scalability of the software products being developed and maintained in every software development organization. |

Publisher Description: Praise from the Reviewers: The practicality of the subject in a real-world situation distinguishes this book from others available on the market. This book could replace the computer organization texts now in use that every CS and CpE student must take. . . . It is much needed, well written, and thoughtful. A distinctive, educational text onsoftware performance and scalability This is the first book to take a quantitative approach to the subject of software performance and scalability. It brings together three unique perspectives to demonstrate how your products can be optimized and tuned for the best possible performance and scalability:
Software Performance and Scalability gives you a specialized skill set that will enable you to design and build performance into your products with immediate, measurable improvements. Complemented with real-world case studies, it is an indispensable resource for software developers, quality and performance assurance engineers, architects, and managers. It is anideal text for university courses related to computer and software performance evaluation and can also be used to supplement a course in computer organization or in queuing theory for upper-division and graduate computer science students.
