Tower's Java performance analyzer is an innovative runtime analyzer that enables the collection of detailed information regarding design-induced application behavior. The innovative analyzer provides experienced performance engineers quick discovery of areas where design modifications can optimize Java application performance and maximize scalability. The performance analyzer, based on core technology from Tower, is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art solution that complements other profiling tools by providing more detailed information regarding object counts, thread activity and status, memory allocation Reserving memory for specific purposes. Operating systems and applications generally reserve fixed amounts of memory at startup and allocate more when the processing requires it. If there is not enough free memory to load the core kernel of an application, it cannot be launched. , exceptions and system handles. In addition, Tower's performance analyzer is the first Java software testing Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. Usually, quality is constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness, security, but can also include more technical requirements as described under the ISO standard ISO 9126, such solution to incorporate this functionality into a production quality Java runtime. "A critical factor in maximizing time-to-revenue for organizations delivering services over the Internet is to ensure that applications are available, responsive and are scalable to meet increasing traffic demands," said Madison Cloutier, vice president of marketing for Tower Technology Corporation.

Rikki Kirzner at International Data Corporation, "e-Business applications that deliver poor response time or cannot scale to meet usage demands lose business opportunities, as the competition is just a point-and-click away. With access to enhanced information about the internal execution behavior of a system, engineers can shorten development cycles, reduce hardware and software costs, and increase response time, allowing them to deploy systems with increased confidence." The new Java performance analyzer is currently being used by Tower's e-Professional Services Group on Java Performance Assessment and Optimization engagements. The company is in the process of preparing Training and Certification Programs for system integrators, ISVs, enterprise performance engineers and others who want to use the analyzer themselves in performance tuning Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance. This is typically a computer application, but the same methods can be applied to economic markets, bureaucracies or other complex systems. projects.
