Systems Performance, Second Edition, covers concepts, strategy, tools, and tuning for operating systems and applications, using Linux-based operating systems as the primary example. A deep understanding of these tools and techniques is critical for developers today. Implementing the strategies described in this thoroughly revised and updated edition can lead to a better end-user experience and lower costs, especially for cloud computing environments that charge by the OS instance. Systems performance expert and best-selling author Brendan Gregg summarizes relevant operating system, hardware, and application theory to quickly get professionals up to speed even if they have never analyzed performance before. Gregg then provides in-depth explanations of the latest tools and techniques, including extended BPF, and shows how to get the most out of cloud, web, and large-scale enterprise systems. Key topics covered include Hardware, kernel, and application internals, and how they perform Methodologies for rapid performance analysis of complex systems Optimizing CPU, memory, file system, disk, and networking usage Sophisticated profiling and tracing with perf, Ftrace, and BPF (BCC and bpftrace) Performance challenges associated with cloud computing hypervisors Benchmarking more effectively Featuring up-to-date coverage of Linux operating systems and environments, Systems Performance, Second Edition, also addresses issues that apply to any computer system. The book will be a go-to reference for many years to come and, like the first edition, required reading at leading tech companies.

All in one IT system book. Review: The most useful, most frequently opened performance book I own - Simply the most use performance engineering book that I own. I already had the first edition and had to buy this second edition. Its full of practical, real world advice for tuning modern Linux systems. It's readable, comprehensive and authoratitive.

Highly recommend
I have an O'Reilly subscription so technically didn't need to buy this, but it's a quality book filled with fantastic insights, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in systems performance.

Indispensable for all server-side Linux admins out there
You cannot possibly overestimate importance of having such a book on the table of any serious Linux admin. A wealth of knowledge, and very systematic too.

So good
I just finished reading the book. Read about 85% of the content from cover to cover. I didn't know that there were these kinds of tools and methods available for investigating compute systems and performance. Absolutely critical book to have if you have to spend time analyzing overall performance of compute systems in almost any capacity. The focus is on compute systems with operating systems. If you want advice on how to write optimized assembly for integrated controlers/PLCs or re-organize your C/C++ code to optimize L1/L2 caching accesses etc., you might find the book of limited value but there are still relevant bits in there about benchmarking and other concerns. I am the target audience for this book; my work is on a mix of servers/workstations/cloud compute for simulation and tools that make heavy use of compute power. I am lucky enough to be in on the whole cycle and get hands-on from requirements gathering and design stage to decommissioning and repurposing hardware. This book is already paying dividends in my thought process and approaches.
