Tuning Your Server’s Workload For Efficient Resource Use
Performance tuning is an important part of resource management. Tuning the workload and system for efficient resource use is a key to increase the return-on-investment of your existing system, and can help reduce total-cost-of-ownership of your server, freeing up your tight IT budget for other projects. Performance tuning consists of the following steps:
1. Identifying the workloads on the system
2. Setting objectives
- Determining how the results will be measured
- Quantifying and prioritizing the objectives
3. Identifying the critical resources that limit the system's performance
4. Minimizing the workload's critical-resource requirements:
- Using the most appropriate resource, if there is a choice
- Reducing the critical-resource requirements of individual programs or system functions
- Structuring for parallel resource use
5. Modifying the allocation of resources to reflect priorities
- Changing the priority or resource limits of individual programs
- Changing the setting of system resource-management parameters
6. Repeating steps 3-5 until objectives are met or resources are saturated
7. Applying additional resources, if necessary
