Android

Buying an android developer phone is one of the best decisions i have made in the recent past. Each day , the time i spend with it, i feel great. Let it be receiving gmail messages, gtalk or skype or changing the wallpapers from internet, or getting the latest news updates or developing a small custom program and porting it to the phone. I am loving my android phone everyday.

Nice to see  appreciation from customer for Gita http://www.getjar.com/products/3145/GITA Hi, Iam Devvart Arun Sharma.Residing in Bahadurgarh,Haryana,India. I just wanna Say thanks to Your Endeavourous Team for Making Great Epic Easily Accessible to World. This Application is AWESOME.I used to Read Gita Saar in Calendar during Childhood. I wished to Have BHAGWAT GITA,but it required lots of free time & it is not Handy. You guys have made My Dream Come True. Thankyou, God Bless You & Sun Microsystems Inc.

happy independence day

Celebrating Independence day in India after 3 years... Watching auto drivers putting huge India flags and driving ... and creating a sense of the same feeling among all those who see the flag, that we belong to that one same thing. What a feeling...words cannot describe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC-RFFIMXlA&feature=related

Art of Performance Testing.

Performance tuning is a challenging task that requires in-depth understanding of the hardware, operating system, and application. If performance tuning were simple, the parameters would be hard-coded into the firmware or the operating system.    Art of Application Performance Testing   When is an application considered to be performing well? It is a matter of perception and usage scenario.   A "Performance Driven Organization" is that whose performance considerations have been taken into account at every stage of the application life cycle. Tool should provide single view of monitoring various mertics across servers. EUE->End User Experiece

Frequency of collection of metric and display of collection. CPU count per CPU stats or aggregate stats Number of Queues waiting for CPU Time spent waiting for a CPU Swapped out threads User, System utilization and Ilde time of the cpu Load average Migration of threads  between processors Mutex contention events  on kernel. read/write lock contention events on kernel. system call rate Which process/thread/method is using the CPU

perf- CPU- Solaris

CPU The first line of metric is the summary since boot.Interval of collection is specified as 1st param along with command name. vmstat collects the aggregate stats of all the CPU's Saturation Number of queues waiting for CPU is run queue length or size. kthr:r of vmstat gives this value. sar -q 5 5 gives info on swapped out threads. It also gives runq-sz. Swapping out threads is a last resort for relieving memory pressure, so this field will be 0 unless there was memory shortage. Amount of time spent waiting for a CPU is measured using  the LAT latency value of command prstat -mL vmstat and sar(system activity reporter) also give the user,system utilization and ilde time of the cpu. Number of processors in the system and their speed psrinfo -vm Load average represents both CPU utilization and saturation. uptime and prstat give this info. A value equal to CPU count means 100% utilisation. 1-,5- and 15- minute averages are obtained. sar can capture historic data by enabling interval...
