Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis: Techniques For Experimental Design Measurements Simulation and Modeling - Hardcover
Synopsis
The seminal guide to performance analysis, with new information and essential advice
The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis is the essential guide to practical performance analysis tools and techniques. This easy to follow guide presents a unique blend of measurement, simulation, and modeling methods in a straightforward, problem–oriented fashion, and integrates essential queuing theory with data analysis, experimental design, and the most powerful tools in performance analysis. This updated edition includes new chapters on Time Series Analysis and Long–Range Dependence, over 150 updated examples and cases studies, and a host of special tricks that demonstrate system superiority. Instructor′s Materials, including PowerPoint slides, syllabus, and solutions for expanded exercises beyond the end–of–chapter exercises, is available making it ideal for classroom use. Performance testing measures a system′s responsiveness and stability under a particular workload, and can serve to investigate, measure, validate, or verify other quality attributes of the system, including scalability, reliability, and resource usage. This book is the seminal work on the topic, providing expert guidance to systems professionals for over twenty–two years. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of performance measurement makes it a valuable resource for students and professionals alike.
- Understand technique and metric criteria, and avoid common mistakes
- Collect, analyze, and present measurement data with the most powerful techniques
- Provide the maximum amount of information with the minimum number of experiments
- Determine the number of sizes of components required (capacity planning)
- Evaluate design alternatives, correctly compare two or more systems, and determine the optimal value of a parameter (system tuning)
Analysis in technology using statistics and other methodologies has become one of the most important, in–demand skills in the corporate and enterprise world. While practitioners may create new systems, they are often asked to modify, expand, or document existing systems many of which have been grown haphazardly. Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis provides the information, skills, and tools analysts need to tackle any system with confidence.

Review
"At last, a welcome and needed text for computer professionals who require practical, ready-to-apply techniques for performance analysis. Highly recommended!" -Dr. Leonard Kleinrock University of California, Los Angeles "An entirely refreshing text which has just the right mixture of theory and real world practice. The book is ideal for both classroom instruction and self-study." -Dr. Raymond L. Pickholtz President, IEEE Communications Society "An extraordinarily comprehensive treatment of both theoretical and practical issues." -Dr. Jeffrey P. Buzen Internationally recognized performance analysis expert ". it is the most thorough book available to date" -Dr. Erol Gelenbe Universite Rene Descartes, Paris ". an extraordinary book. A worthy addition to the bookshelf of any practicing computer or communications engineer" -Dr. Vinton G. Cerf Chairman, ACM SIGCOMM "This is an unusual object, a textbook that one wants to sit down and peruse. The prose is clear and fluent, but more important, it is witty." -Allison Mankin The Mitre Washington Networking Center Newsletter
