This volume provides the necessary information for maximizing HP-UX (a version of the Unix operating system) performance through general background, hardware and software performance concepts, reference material, and many examples and suggestions for application development and tuning. Sauers, a High Availability Solutions Architect, and Weygant, a Learning Products Engineer, both with Hewlett-Packard, discuss the key tradeoffs of performance between uniprocessor and SMP environments, and demonstrate practical ways to set up HP- UX systems so that measurements are representative of real-world performance.
