Oracle Database 12c Performance Tuning RecipesA Problem-Solution Approach

Performance problems are rarely “problems” per se. They are more often “crises” during which you’re pressured for results by a manager standing outside your cubicle while your phone rings with queries from the help desk. You won’t have the time for a leisurely perusal of the manuals, nor to lean back and read a book on theory. What you need in that situation is a book of solutions, and solutions are precisely what Oracle Database 12c Performance Tuning Recipes delivers. Oracle Da-tabase 12c Performance Tuning Recipes is a ready reference for database administrators in need of immediate help with performance issues relating to Oracle Database. The book takes an example-based approach, wherein each chapter covers a specific problem domain. Within each chapter are “recipes,” showing by example how to perform common tasks in that chapter’s domain. Solutions in the recipes are backed by clear explanations of background and theory from the author team.

Feature 7 Provides an example-based approach found in no other current book on Oracle performance tuning and optimization. Lead authors Darl Kuhn and Sam Alapati have proven track records of suc-cess with Oracle Database topics. Joins a growing line of successful Apress books such as Cost-based Oracle Fundamentals, Troubleshooting Oracle Performance, and Expert Oracle Database Archi-tecture that address tuning and performance of Oracle databases.

Practical OpenCVPractical OpenCV is a hands-on project book that shows you how to make the most of the functionality that ships with the OpenCV library. Computer vision is key to technologies like facial recognition, shape detection, and depth detection. OpenCV is an open source library with over 2500 algorithms that you can use to do all of the above as well as track moving objects, extract 3D models, and overlay augmented reality. It’s used by major companies like Google (Google’s autonomous car uses it), Intel, Sony, and it is a key piece of the Robot Operating System. In short, if you’re work-ing with computer vision at all, you need to know OpenCV. With Practical OpenCV, you’ll be able to: Get OpenCV up and running on Windows or Linux, including a bonus chapter on getting it run-ning in Raspberry Pi. Understand what goes on behind the scenes in computer vision applications like face and object detection, image stitching, filtering, stereo vision, and other computer vision concepts. Code complex computer vision projects for your class/hobby/robot/job, and many of these projects can execute in real-time on off-the-shelf processors. Combine different modules that you develop and create an interactive computer vision app of your own.

Pro Oracle Application Express ThemesPro Oracle Application Express Themes shows you how to develop rich user interfaces that enhance your application for any environment. Whether you’re new to Oracle Apex or an experienced pro-fessional, Pro Oracle Application Express Themes explains the processes you’ll need to understand to become proficient in developing any user interface without having to be a guru in HTML, CSS or JavaScript. Any web page that you see in a browser is a combination of structure, style and interactiv-ity undertaken using HTML, CSS and JavaScript which your browser knows how to interpret. In Apex the process is the same. Once you under-stand how this is achieved within Apex, you can output just about anything you like. There is then no reason why you cannot create an Apex user interface that is every bit as rich or sophisticated as anything else on the web.

Feature 7 Application User Interface is vital. There is no other book on the market that covers this aspect of development within Apex. Single point of refer-ence for all aspects of User Interface development within Apex, so developer only needs one book rather than several. Most Apex developers come from a PL/SQL background with little web devel-opment expertise. This book demystifies the black art of CSS/HTML/Javascript and gives a developer the confidence to develop the UI.

Data science requires a versatile skill-set primarily for processing very large data sets including ,big data’ consisting of structured, unstructured or semi-structured data that large enterprises pro-duce. It incorporates varying elements and builds on techniques and theories from many fields, including mathematics, statistics, data engineer-ing, pattern recognition and learning, advanced computing, visualization, uncertainty modeling, data warehousing, and high performance comput-ing with the goal of extracting meaning from data and creating data products. Data Science offers an overview of the technologies needed in order to understand the mechanics of data science. At present there is no single book which describes how these technologies mesh together to provide techniques and tools needed in this area. This book provides a look at the requisite mathematical background to understand data science, includ-ing probability distributions, Bayes’ rule, random processes, Markov models, linear and logistic regression.

IntelTM Xeon Phi© Coprocessor Architecture and ToolsThe Guide for Application Developers

Technical computing has become an integral part of research and development of new technolo-gies in modern civilization. It is used in industry and academia equally to produce new products, produce weather forecasting, geosciences explora-tion, financial modeling, car crash simulation, electro-magnetic field propagation from mobile phones etc. However, current computational power limits the type of research needed to push the edge of understanding of these physical pro-cesses. Massively parallel processors like IntelTM MIC architecture has been developed to increase the computational power to remove these research barriers. However, to exploit MIC co-processor ca-pable of providing more than Teraflops of double precision floating point performance in Technical Computing applications will require careful design of algorithm, data structure and understanding to match the hardware capabilities and idiosyncrasies of the processor. This book is targeted to give the readers an in-depth look at the MIC processor architecture, parallel data structure and algorithm used by various Technical Computing applica-tions that will be suitable for such a coprocessor. We shall also look at the various source code level optimizations that can be done to exploit some of the processor features.
