This course provides the students with the basic set of tools required to immediately begin using DTrace on application and systemic performance analysis. By use of examples, we will demonstrate how the student can quickly obtain views of their software stack that they never knew existed. An overview of the DTrace framework and architecture together with many examples of the D language will be presented. Course Approach: Renowned for their humorous approach to the subject, the instructors will bring lots of examples together with a modicum of interaction to demonstrate why DTrace is the answer to most of the big questions in life. Content: This session will make extensive use of live examples (typed live and not pre-canned whenever possible). We will begin with an overview of the complexity faced in behavioral analysis and why extant tools just don't make the grade. A demonstration of why DTrace is able to solve the issues faced is then presented. An overview of the DTrace architecture will then be given along with examples of how to analyze various parts of a systems software stack. This will be followed with examples of analyzing C and Java technology-based applications.
