Experiences Parallelizing a Web Server with OpenMP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi–threaded web servers are typically parallelized by hand using the pthreads library. OpenMP has rarely been used to parallelize such kind of applications, although we foresee that it can be a great tool for network servers developers. In this paper we compare how easy is to parallelize the Boa web server using OpenMP, compared to a pthreads parallelization, and the performance achieved. We present the results of a parallelization based on OpenMP 2.0, the dynamic sections model and pthreads.

Web Service Call Parallelization Using OpenMP
Since early works, web servers have been designed as parallel applications to process many requests at the same time. While web service based applications are performing more and more, larger and larger transactions, this parallelization culture still not reached the client side. Business to Business (B2B) applications are becoming intensive users of web transactions through Service Oriented Ar...
متن کاملInteractive Parallelizing Assistance Tool for OpenMP: iPat/OMP
This paper proposes an interactive parallelizing assistance tool for OpenMP called iPat/OMP. This tool provides users with the assistance needed for OpenMP parallelization of a sequential program. All of the assistance capabilities are implemented as Emacs functions and are available in the Emacs editor environment in an interactive manner.
متن کاملPerformance of OSCAR Multigrain Parallelizing Compiler on SMP Servers
This paper describes performance of OSCAR multigrain parallelizing compiler on various SMP servers, such as IBM pSeries 690, Sun Fire V880, Sun Ultra 80, NEC TX7/i6010 and SGI Altix 3700. The OSCAR compiler hierarchically exploits the coarse grain task parallelism among loops, subroutines and basic blocks and the near fine grain parallelism among statements inside a basic block in addition to t...
متن کاملInvestigation on Reliability Estimation of Loosely Coupled Software as a Service Execution Using Clustered and Non-Clustered Web Server
Evaluating the reliability of loosely coupled Software as a Service through the paradigm of a cluster-based and non-cluster-based web server is considered to be an important attribute for the service delivery and execution. We proposed a novel method for measuring the reliability of Software as a Service execution through load testing. The fault count of the model against the stresses of users ...
