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).
