Solaris Application Programming (Solaris Series) (Hardcover)

Solaris™ Application Programming is a comprehensive guide to optimizing
the performance of applications running in your Solaris environment.
From the fundamentals of system performance to using analysis and
optimization tools to their fullest, this wide-ranging resource shows
developers and software architects how to get the most from Solaris
systems and applications.

Whether you’re new to performance analysis and optimization or an
experienced developer searching for the most efficient ways to solve
performance issues, this practical guide gives you the background
information, tips, and techniques for developing, optimizing, and
debugging applications on Solaris.

The text begins with a detailed overview of the components that affect
system performance. This is followed by explanations of the many
developer tools included with Solaris OS and the Sun Studio compiler,
and then it takes you beyond the basics with practical, real-world
examples. In addition, you will learn how to use the rich set of
developer tools to identify performance problems, accurately interpret
output from the tools, and choose the smartest, most efficient approach
to correcting specific problems and achieving maximum system
performance.

Coverage includes:

- A discussion of the chip multithreading
(CMT) processors from Sun and how they change the way that developers
need to think about performance
- A detailed introduction to the performance analysis and optimization
tools included with the Solaris OS and Sun Studio compiler
- Practical examples for using the developer tools to their fullest,
including informational tools, compilers, floating point optimizations,
libraries and linking, performance profilers, and debuggers
- Guidelines for interpreting tool analysis output
- Optimization, including hardware performance counter metrics and
source code optimizations
- Techniques for improving application performance using multiple
processes, or multiple threads
- An overview of hardware and software components that affect system
performance, including coverage of SPARC and x64 processors
