- Basic conceps of performance measurement and tuning
- Why small changes can make big differences in performance
- How to design and implement systems and programs for best
performance
- How to analyze and tune existing systems and programs for
maximum CPU, memory, disk, and communications
performance
- How to interrogate, set, and tune all of the major AIX
performance parameters
