Course Description
This course provides an overview of performance
and tuning principles and tools in the UNIX
operating system. The course covers principles
of performance analysis and usage of
performance measurement tools, such as sar,
iostat, and nfsstat. Coverage is given on how
to identify memory, I/O, and CPU bottlenecks,
and it tives recommended solutions. Since
knowledge of several of the major OS kernel
subsystems is required to understand the
information provided by the performance
monitoring tools, the course provides an in-
depth view of the operating system's major
kernel subsystems. These include virtual
memory system, process lifetime cycles and
scheduling and the UNIX file system. The
course will describe the kernel subsystems of a
typical UNIX operating system and as needed,
add the differences between the different
flavors of UNIX, such as BSD and SYSTEM V. The
course will also include some simple rules of
thumb to guide the tuning process.
