Description

Sun's Java Performance Team presents the most complete, authoritative guide to Java optimization!

  • Performance is one to the most important areas today - and these are the key strategies.
  • Coverage on every aspect of Java performance!
  • Performance tactics for I/O, serialization, class loading, algorithms and data structures, native code, Swing, compilation, JAR files, and much more.
Direct from Sun's Java™ Performance Team, this is a comprehensive field manual full of battle-tested strategies and tactics for developing high-performance applications and applets with Java technology. It covers every aspect of Java performance, including speed, scalability, RAM footprint, startup time, and user-perceived performance factors. Part I covers the crucial process issues associated with Java optimization, outlining how performance tuning fits into the software development process, showing how to use benchmarks and profiling tools to identify hot spots and bottlenecks, and presenting general strategies for enhancing the performance of Java technology-based systems. In Part II, the authors present a wide array of concrete optimization techniques. The book contains detailed appendices on garbage collection and the Java HotSpot™ Virtual Machine, written to address key performance questions.

Steve Wilson is Engineering Manager of the Java Performance Team at Sun Microsystems' Java Software unit, where he leads a team responsible for performance tuning the internals of the Java 2 Standard Edition. He previously worked as a member of the Swing team developing the Java Foundation Classes toolkit. Jeff Kesselman is an engineer on the Java Performance Team at Sun Microsystems' Java Software unit where he works with various groups to improve code performance. Prior to joining Sun, Jeff worked on cutting-edge games for various PC and console platforms.
