Performance for the performance-shy

Abstract

No one likes slow applications, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start when trying to fix a performance problem. This talk will cover a range of tools and techniques which can be used to track down and fix performance issues.

Topics covered:

  • Performance tuning - not just for performance geeks.
  • What's the garbage collector doing? (And why you should care.)
  • But why is the garbage collector doing all that, anyway? How to find out what's in your heap (tools discussed are applicable to most JVMs).
  • Are you waiting around on locks?
  • Is your application running the code it should be?
  • Solving problems you didn't even know existed with the Health Center (applicable IBM VMs).
