Java Performance (Paperback)

Java Performance is a comprehensive book flatest Oracle and third-party tools for monitoring and measuring performance on a wide variety of hardware architectures and operating systems. Readers learn how to optimize the code, interpret results, and take reactive action on the code for performance. The book also explains how to avoid common mistakes, and how to meet performance and scalability goals. It discusses at length about monitoring Java performance at the OS level in Windows, Linux, and Oracle Solaris environments, giving readers more than enough knowledge about using modern Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and OS observability tools to profile running systems and gain insights into the Java HotSpot VM that can help tackle most performance issues. The book is an invaluable resource for all Java programmers looking to improve the performance of their codes.
