Computer Systems Performance

In this course, you will learn how to analyze and improve the performance of a computer system with a specific focus on data-intensive systems.

To investigate a system’s performance and come up with solutions to improve it, there are three key things to know.

How to devise a methodology to design experiments so that you can investigate the system’s performance,
The toolset to run the necessary experiments and collect the results, and
At least a basic understanding of the systems layers (hardware, operating systems, etc.) to be able to interpret your results and come up with solutions.
This is what we will cover in this course.
