Performance Optimization

Overview

System performance optimization is the process of system analysis and modification to improve its performance.

In many real life systems application performance is far from optimal. Substantial improvement can be often achieved by measuring how the system behaves and configuring the system optimally. If you have access to the application source code, compiling with the latest compiler version and with the latest compiler optimization enabled will make a significant improvement.

Expertise

Qulix Systems offers performance optimization service to deal with software systems performance issues.

Performance optimization usually includes such methods as:

• Load testing

In the course of load testing we highlight bottlenecks of an application, decide on the performance criteria, and if necessary provide our clients with guidance on using and setting up the application to achieve maximum performance. Among standard instruments we use for load testing are Tuning Advisor, dotTrace, Practices Checker, Performance Code Inspection, JProfiler, yet in most cases our specialists employ their own know how to perform this type of software testing. We recognise this fact as the most convincing proof of their professionalism.

• Comprehensive analysis procedure (analysis performed at Qulix) includes the following types of analysis:
  • System architecture analysis;
  • Scalability analysis;
  • System bottlenecks analysis;
  • Query analysis;
  • Database analysis;
  • Log analysis;
  • Code analysis;
  • And others.
• Practical improvement of system performance on the basis of procedures developed and tested by Qulix specialists. These procedures include:
  • Deadlocks analysis;
  • Workload analysis and physical implementation of one or more databases. In most cases Tuning Advisor tool is utilised;
  • Identifying problems in NHibernate and other ORMs, Spring and other libraries and frameworks;
  • Hunting down performance and memory bottlenecks in applications;
    Instrument used:
  • Performance code review (instrumental and manual).Instruments used: Practice checker, Code inspector, FxCop, etc.
  • Database optimization;
  • Analysis of Internet Information Services (IIS), Java Virtual Machine, etc.;
  • Other know-how practices.

Performance Optimization is a set of professional and managed services that provide our customers a view of how their applications are performing on the network, where bottlenecks may reside and include suggested solutions for resolution.
