Previous studies indicate that I/O could become a performance bottleneck in commodity PC-based cluster Web servers. Current local native file systems do not work well for expensiv...
Web caching is a technology for improving network traffic on the internet. It is a temporary storage of Web objects (such as HTML documents) for later retrieval. There are three s...
It is wellknown that http servers can be programmed easier by using multithreading, i.e. each connection is dealt with by a separate thread. It is also known, e.g. from massively ...
Several recent studies have pointed out that file I/Os can be a major performance bottleneck for some large Web servers. Large I/O buffer caches often do not work effectively for ...
