Accelerating Apache Farms Through Ad-HOC Distributed Scalable Object Repository

We present hoc: a fast, scalable object repository providing programmers with a general storage module. hoc may be used to implement DSMs as well as distributed cache subsystems. hoc is composed of a set of hot-pluggable cooperating processes that may sustain a close to optimal network traffic rate. We designed an hoc-based Web cache that extends the Apache Web server and remarkably improves Apache farms performances with no modification to the Apache core code.
