Inhaltsangabe

Buchanan, a consultant in systems analysis and tuning, explains how to configure instrumentation and collect critical time-persistent measurements, and how to use this data for in-depth analysis of a system. Initial chapters take readers step by step through the AR-Analysis methodology, touching on system baselining, configuring measurements and data collection, and analyzing measurements and drawing conclusions. Two real-world case studies outline steps of the process and discuss the results. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
