Performance Work at Oracle - A Message from
the Trenches
OTN will also be also be bringing the latest Oracle9i software (Database, JDeveloper, Oracle9iAS OC4J, Webcache, TopLink) for all attendees.
Abstract:
Gaining insight into potential and real performance issues on an
application server is a challenging task whether the purpose of the activity
is tuning, bench marking or trouble shooting. We'll describe Oracle's Dynamic
Monitoring System (DMS) and how we use it to analyze real world performance
issues in a timely fashion.
In addition, we'll describe the history of the Java Petstore testing we performed at Oracle, and what we changed in the Sun Blueprint code. This will lead to a discussion of a number of J2EE performance practices which we've discovered to be of value for a range of applications
Bio::Carol Orange is a Senior Performance Engineer at Oracle Corporation. She works on the evaluation and improvement of the Oracle 9i Application Server performance, and on DMS development. She modified the Sun Blueprint Java Pet Store code to make it efficient and scalable, and performed the tests reported at JavaONE and Oracle Open World conferences. Previous adventures include a PhD with a focus on image analysis, managing the technical activities of the European IP registry, and participation in the development of the TPCW benchmark.
