Nobody mentioned an OS here, except you.

The fact remains that performance engineering techniques are universal. You start with raw performance data (requirements or otherwise) and you create models based on them. You rule out as many of the bad ones you can, and then calibrate. It works for AIX, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Linux, and even Windows. All of the performance technology mentioned in the references applies to nearly all OS's.
