Recent highly publicized benchmarks have suggested that Linux systems do not scale as well as other systems, such as Windows NT, when used as network servers. Windows NT contains ...
Network servers make special demands that other types of applications may not make on memory allocators. We describe a simple malloc() microbenchmark suite that tests the ability ...
For most of its existence, Linux has been used primarily as a personal desktop operating system. Yet, in recent times, its use as a cost-efficient alternative to commercial operat...
This paper examines the performance of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) for network servers using actual hardware, multiple network server applications, and several workloads. Us...

We analyze the performance of CPU-bound network servers and demonstrate experimentally that the degradation in the performance of these servers under highconcurrency workloads is ...
Open Source software (OSS) is increasingly being recognized by the government sector around the world as a viable choice to proprietary software, particularly in a number of areas...
