Performance optimization is a fundamental discipline in modern software development, directly influencing application speed, resource utilization, and the quality of user experience. This book offers a clear and practical exploration of performance optimization, introducing the essential principles, metrics, and methodologies necessary for writing efficient, scalable code. Readers are guided step by step through critical concepts such as execution time, algorithmic complexity, memory management, and input/output efficiency. Structured for clarity and depth, the book systematically examines the impact of data structures, algorithm design, and hardware considerations—including concurrency and parallelism—on program performance. Through real-world examples and actionable techniques, it addresses common pitfalls and provides effective strategies for measuring, analyzing, and improving the responsiveness and efficiency of software systems. Special chapters explore performance trade-offs in energy-constrained environments, the use of compilers and build tools, and balancing optimization with security requirements.
