Bøker av Joe Temple

There is a gap in most computing sciences curricula. Performance is largely ignored. As a result there is a lot of misunderstanding of performance in the IT industry. For a variety of reasons driving a performance course into a curriculum is usually not practical. One way to plug the gap is to teach certificate classes. The book is also a good reference for Computing Sciences Educators seeking to enhance their courses with performance material or to connect the dots on performance for their students. It is also a good reference book for Computing Sciences Students and IT professionals. It starts with the fundamenals and covers a broad set of performance oriented topics such as: Utilization, Consolidatation/Distribution, Scaling, Tandem Operation, Transient Behavior, Observability and Devops, Workload modeling and Performance Architecture. Exercises from classes will be gathered into targetted workbooks and publish here as a series.

There is a lot of misunderstanding in the IT field about performance, and there is typically no "performance class" in today's undergraduate curricula. Using his decade-long experience explaining performance to nontechnical people at IBM and as an independent consultant, author Joe Temple presents in Information Technology Performance the fundamentals without all the rigor of queuing theory, signal analysis, and control theory.Perfect for students and teachers of computer sciences (CS, IS, IT) and computer engineering Information Technology Performance creates a narrative from the ground up-defining performance and then diving into scaling, tandem operations, workload modeling, and transient behavior before finishing with performance architecture-all the while avoiding advanced mathematics so that the concepts can be better grasped by students at all levels of study.
