On Improving Open Transport Network Application Performance
Summary
The techniques outlined in this TechNote offer you a set of suggestions that you can use to improve throughput of an application that uses the Open Transport Network Architecture. To summarize:- Identify what the real bottlenecks are, before attempting to optimize.
- Avoid unnecessary wasted bandwidth and memory copies.
- Optimize for the expected case, use caching and precomputing when appropriate.
- Use Lazy evaluation and workahead properly.
- Preallocate structures to decrease latency .
- Understand how to interact with Mac OS managers efficiently.
The more you know about how Open Transport interacts with the Mac OS, the better you'll be able to design applications that take full advantage of its performance.
