A rousing account of one of the critical turning points in American history that tells the gripping story of the burning of Washington and the improbable last stand at Baltimore that helped save the nation and inspired its National Anthem.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication focuses on gathering the correct technical information, and laying out simple guidance for optimizing code performance on IBM POWER8® processor-based systems that run the IBM AIX®, IBM i, or Linux operating systems. There is straightforward performance optimization that can be performed with a minimum of effort and without extensive previous experience or in-depth knowledge. The POWER8 processor contains many new and important performance features, such as support for eight hardware threads in each core and support for transactional memory. The POWER8 processor is a strict superset of the IBM POWER7+TM processor, and so all of the performance features of the POWER7+ processor, such as multiple page sizes, also appear in the POWER8 processor. Much of the technical information and guidance for optimizing performance on POWER8 processors that is presented in this guide also applies to POWER7+ and earlier processors, except where the guide explicitly indicates that a feature is new in the POWER8 processor. This guide strives to focus on optimizations that tend to be positive across a broad set of IBM POWER® processor chips and systems. Specific guidance is given for the POWER8 processor; however, the general guidance is applicable to the IBM POWER7+, IBM POWER7®, IBM POWER6®, IBM POWER5, and even to earlier processors. This guide is directed at personnel who are responsible for performing migration and implementation activities on POWER8 processor-based systems. This includes system administrators, system architects, network administrators, information architects, and database administrators (DBAs).

This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides advice and technical information about optimizing and tuning application code to run on systems that are based on the IBM POWER7® and POWER7+TM processors. This advice is drawn from application optimization efforts across many different types of code that runs under the IBM AIX® and Linux operating systems, focusing on the more pervasive performance opportunities that are identified, and how to capitalize on them. The technical information was developed by a set of domain experts at IBM. The focus of this book is to gather the right technical information, and lay out simple guidance for optimizing code performance on the IBM POWER7 and POWER7+ systems that run the AIX or Linux operating systems. This book contains a large amount of straightforward performance optimization that can be performed with minimal effort and without previous experience or in-depth knowledge. This optimization work can: Improve the performance of the application that is being optimized for the POWER7 system Carry over improvements to systems that are based on related processor chips Improve performance on other platforms The audience of this book is those personnel who are responsible for performing migration and implementation activities on IBM POWER7-based servers, which includes system administrators, system architects, network administrators, information architects, and database administrators (DBAs).

Abstract: "The Java platform has the potential to revolutionize computing, with its promise of 'write once, run anywhere' development. However, in order to realize this potential, Java applications must demonstrate satisfactory performance. Rapid progress has been made in addressing Java performance, although most of the initial efforts have targeted Java client applications. In order to make a significant impact in network computing, server applications written in the Java language, or those using Java extensions, frameworks, or components, must exhibit a competitive level of performance. One obstacle to obtaining this goal has been the lack of well-defined, server-specific, Java benchmarks. This paper helps address this shortcoming by defining representative Java server benchmarks. This paper presents benchmarks that represent server application areas including Web-based dynamic content delivery (servlets), business object frameworks, and multi-tier transactional data acquisition. Where applicable, we present benchmarks written using both the Java programming model (i.e., servlets) and the legacy model (i.e., CGI) for direct comparisons of delivered performance. We present performance measurements and analysis from multiple IBM server platforms, including both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems."
