<h1 class="topictitle1">Tune performance</h1>
<div><p>When you have identified a performance problem, you will want to
tune the system to fix it.</p>
<p>The primary aim of performance tuning is to allow your servers to make
the best use of the system resources, and to allow workloads to run as efficiently
as possible. Performance tuning is a way to adjust the performance of the
system either manually or automatically. Many options exist for tuning your
system. Each system environment is unique in that it requires you to observe
performance and make adjustments that are best for your environment; in other
words, you are required to do routine performance monitoring.</p>
<p>IBM<sup>®</sup> also
offers a tool that allows you to improve both the I/O subsystem and system
response times by reducing the number of physical I/O requests that are read
from disk. Learn how you can improve your system performance with Extended
Adaptive Cache.</p>
<p>In addition, you may also want to consider some tuning options that allow
processes and threads to achieve improved affinity for memory and processor
resources.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahxtunebasic.htm">Basic performance tuning</a></strong><br />
To tune your system's performance, you need to set up your initial tuning values, observe the system performance, review the values, and determine what to tune.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahxtuneautotune.htm">Automatically tune performance</a></strong><br />
Most users should set up the system to make performance adjustment automatically. When new systems are shipped, they are configured to adjust automatically.</li>

Simultaneous multithreading allows sharing of process facilities to run two applications or two threads of the same application at the same time. Find out more about this concept.</li>
