Scalable applications developed for ASE or created on top of the Open Client and Open Server software development kits can easily turn into complex, resource-hungry processes. The Linux Process file-system (/proc) brings a wealth of information and allows for easy access to O/S kernel statistics when debugging, instrumenting or monitoring processes.
Additionally Linux provides application developers with excellent standard distributed analysis tools and O/S kernel instrumentation features to help you quickly discover resource impacts such as memory or file-descriptor leaks or to profile performance bottlenecks in your code. |
