Book Description
The art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis "At last, a welcome and needed text for computer professionals who require practical, ready-to-apply techniques for performance analysis. Highly recommended!" -Dr. Leonard Kleinrock University of California, Los Angeles "An entirely refreshing text which has just the right mixture of theory and real world practice. The book is ideal for both classroom instruction and self-study." -Dr. Raymond L. Pickholtz President, IEEE Communications Society "An extraordinarily comprehensive treatment of both theoretical and practical issues." -Dr. Jeffrey P. Buzen Internationally recognized performance analysis expert ". it is the most thorough book available to date" -Dr. Erol Gelenbe Université René Descartes, Paris ". an extraordinary book.. A worthy addition to the bookshelf of any practicing computer or communications engineer" -Dr. Vinton G. Cer??? Chairman, ACM SIGCOMM "This is an unusual object, a textbook that one wants to sit down and peruse. The prose is clear and fluent, but more important, it is witty." -Allison Mankin The Mitre Washington networking Center Newsletter
From the Inside Flap
As a key step in the selection of processors, operating systems, database, systems networks, and languages, performance analysis plays an integral role in the design and procurement of new computer systems. Presenting a unique blend of measurement, simulation, and modeling methods in a straightforward, problem-oriented fashion, The art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis is a computer professional’s treasure trove for practical performance analysis techniques. Integrating essential queueing theory with simulation, measurement techniques, data analysis, and experimental design, the book is divided into the following comprehensive parts:- Overview of Performance Evaluation—addresses common mistakes in the evaluation process, criteria for selecting evaluation techniques and performance metrics, and the establishment of performance requirements
- Measurement Techniques and Tools—examines workload selection and characterization, monitors, capacity planning and benchmarking, data presentation, and ratio games
- Probability and Statistics—discusses the summarization of measured data, the comparison of systems using sample data, and regression models
- Experimental Design and Analysis—provides the maximum amount of information with the minimum number of experiments
- Simulation—clarifies the analysis of results, model verification, validation, and random-number generation
- Queueing Models—models and techniques for the solution of a wide variety of common performance problems
Analysis techniques are supported by more than 150 examples and case studies—all from the computer science field—and many are summarized with results in handy reference boxes. In addition, common mistakes in the application of various techniques are descussed, and a host of special tricks to demonstrate system superiority are revealed. The art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis is an essential tool for performance analysts, designers, purchasers, and users of computer systems.

Product Review
The first edition of Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective accumulated lots of happy readers, largely because the authors took care to explain the physical phenomena that allow light to carry information, as well as the design principles that characterize good optical networks, particularly wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Very little was assumed, and even the most complicated formulas appeared alongside annotations that shed light (sorry) on the behavior being described. The latest edition of the book has everything that made the first edition great--the physics haven't changed much, after all--as well as up-to-date information about networking equipment and techniques. The second edition is a first-class revision; you'll want it even if you already own the old version.Fully half of this book has more to do with network engineering than with theoretical matters. The authors take care to discuss all aspects of optical data communications with efficiency (in terms of capacity utilization, management effort, and monetary cost) in mind. There's not a lot of discussion of vendors' specific products, so you'll have to look elsewhere for configuration instructions. But for getting your network designed and understanding how its components communicate data and provide redundancy--as well as for providing reference to other authoritative works--this book is tops. --David Wall Topics covered: Tools and technologies for communicating data (including digitized voice signals) over fiber-optic cables. SONET gets a lot of attention, as does wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) as a technique for increasing capacity. Network design--with an eye toward efficiency and survivability--is dealt with in authoritative detail.
Desh Deshpande, Chairman, Sycamore Networks, Inc.
This should be mandatory reading for every professional in our business.

Book Description
This perennial best seller is a thorough guide to buying, installing and using T-1 circuits and the often complex equipment that you need to hook into T-1 lines. There are four reasons to buy T-1: 1. Major dollar savings on long distance calls and international calls voice, data and video calls. 2. Substantially better communications quality. T-1 is all digital 3. Flexibility to reconfigure connections - voice one minute, data the next, video the next. 4. Improve network reliability. Achieving these four benefits can be painful (T-1 expertise is short among telephone companies) and expensive. That's where this book comes in. It will save you and your company a fortune in mistakes you could have avoided.
Book Info
Provides information on the cost, availability, & new services provided for T-1 networking systems. The book may serve as a textbook in a college course or as a tool to help a telecommunications professional choose, install, use, & maintain a high-speed voice, data, & video telecommunications network.
