Bottleneck Characterization of Dynamic Web Site Benchmarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The absence of benchmarks for Web sites with dynamic content has been a major impediment to research in this area. We describe three benchmarks for evaluating the performance of Web sites with dynamic content. The benchmarks model three common types of dynamic-content Web sites with widely varying application characteristics: an online bookstore, an auction site, and a bulletin board. For each benchmark we describe the design of the database, the interactions provided by the Web server, and the workloads used in analyzing the performance of the system. We have implemented these three benchmarks with commonly used open-source software. In particular, we used the Apache Web server, the PHP scripting language, and the MySQL relational database. Our implementation is therefore representative of the many dynamic content Web sites built using these tools. Our implementations are available freely from our Web site for other researchers to use. We present a performance evaluation of our implementations of these three benchmarks on contemporary commodity hardware. Our performance evaluation focused on finding and explaining the bottleneck resources in each benchmark. For the online bookstore, the CPU on the database was the bottleneck, while for the auction site and the bulletin board the CPU on the front-end Web server was the bottleneck. In none of the benchmarks was the network between the front-end and the back-end a bottleneck. With amounts of memory common by today’s standards, neither the main memory nor the disk proved to be a limiting factor in terms of performance for any of the benchmarks.

متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Middleware Architectures for Generating Dynamic Web Content
On-line services are making increasing use of dynamically generated Web content. Serving dynamic content is more complex than serving static content. Besides a Web server, it typically involves a server-side application and a database to generate and store the dynamic content. A number of standard mechanisms have evolved to generate dynamic content. We evaluate three specific mechanisms in comm...

Nowadays energy saving is one of the crucial aspects in decisions. One of the approaches in this case is efficient use of resources in the industrial systems. Studies in real manufacturing systems indicating that one or more machines may also act as the Bottleneck Resource/ Resources (BR). On the other hand according to the Theory of Constraints (TOC), the efficient use of resources in manufact...
متن کاملAutomatic Stress Testing of Multi-tier Systems by Dynamic Bottleneck Switch Generation
The performance of multi-tier systems is known to be significantly degraded by workloads that place bursty service demands on system resources. Burstiness can cause queueing delays, oversubscribe limited threading resources, and even cause dynamic bottleneck switches between resources. Thus, there is need for a methodology to create benchmarks with controlled burstiness and bottleneck switches ...
