System performance management for the S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server G5

by R. F. Rizzolo, G. Hinkel, S. Michnowski, T. J. McPherson, A. J. Sutcliffe
System performance management is a broad category of techniques that cover all aspects of obtaining maximum performance or speed from a given design. Items such as sorting methodology, critical path improvements, semiconductor line optimization, power-supply optimization, clock tuning, and cooling are part of performance management. Logic or architecture improvements that have a major effect on design, such as increasing cache size, are usually not included.
