<h3><a name="prfover"></a>Performance overview</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Performance is the measure of time and resources that are required to complete a task. Because of the variety of resources involved, performance tuning for Web-based applications is more complex than tuning most other applications.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To understand performance management, you need to know these basic performance concepts:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Throughput</strong> is the number of client requests that the application server environment can process at a given time.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Response time</strong> is the elapsed time that it takes for the application server to process a client request.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Load</strong> is the amount of resources, such as main storage, processor, and I/O support, that are required by the application to process all client requests at a given time.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Application server performance is determined primarily by these components:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Hardware resources</strong> such as system configuration, memory pools, and subsystems</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Web environment configuration</strong> such as garbage collection, request queuing, and data caching</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Application design and implementation</strong> such as object creation, connection pooling, and data access configuration</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
