Power and Performance: Software Analysis and Optimization - Softcover

"...covers the intended topics with enough clarity and depth to serve both as a potential textbook and as a reference for practitioners...This one of the best technical books I have read in a while."--Computing Reviews

Power and Performance: Software Analysis and Optimization is a guide to solving performance problems in modern Linux systems. Power-efficient chips are no help if the software those chips run on is inefficient. Starting with the necessary architectural background as a foundation, the book demonstrates the proper usage of performance analysis tools in order to pinpoint the cause of performance problems, and includes best practices for handling common performance issues those tools identify.
