This book provides all the details a developer needs to performance-tune any type of Java program. I give step-by-step instructions on all aspects of the performance-tuning process, from early considerations such as setting goals, measuring performance, and choosing a compiler, to detailed examples on using profiling tools and applying the results to tune the code. This is not an entry-level book about Java, but you do not need any previous tuning knowledge to benefit from reading it.-This book provides all the details a developer needs to performance-tune any type of Java program.
