AlbakiReads Editorial A practical framework for analyzing Linux system performance
A practical framework for analyzing Linux system performance
Using Linux as its main environment, this second edition organizes system-performance work around underlying hardware, kernel, and application behavior. It moves from core theory into diagnostic methodology and tuning, covering CPU, memory, file systems, disks, and networking alongside benchmarking. Cloud and large-scale web environments receive dedicated attention, including performance concerns tied to hypervisors and instance-based infrastructure. The technical toolkit includes perf, Ftrace, and BPF-based tracing and profiling tools such as BCC and bpftrace. Although grounded in Linux, the book also identifies issues and methods that extend across computer systems, making it both a conceptual guide and a detailed technical reference.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Developers beginning systematic performance analysis
- Linux and systems engineers working on CPU, memory, storage, or network bottlenecks
- Cloud, web, and enterprise infrastructure professionals using profiling and tracing tools

Systems Performance, Second Edition, covers concepts, strategy, tools, and tuning for operating systems and applications, using Linux-based operating systems as the primary example. A deep understanding of these tools and techniques is critical for developers today. Implementing the strategies described in this thoroughly revised and updated edition can lead to a better end-user experience and lower costs, especially for cloud computing environments that charge by the OS instance.
Systems performance expert and best-selling author Brendan Gregg summarizes relevant operating system, hardware, and application theory to quickly get professionals up to speed even if they have never analyzed performance before. Gregg then provides in-depth explanations of the latest tools and techniques, including extended BPF, and shows how to get the most out of cloud, web, and large-scale enterprise systems. Key topics covered include
