چکیده
Response time is one key point of di erentiation among electronic commerce (e-commerce) Web sites. Snafu and slow-downs at major Web sites during special events or peak times demonstrate the diÆculty of scaling up ecommerce sites. Such slow response times and down times can be devastating for e-commerce sites as indicated in a recent study by Zona Research[1] on the relationship between Web page download time and user abandonment rate. The study shows that only 2% of users will leave a Web site (i.e. abandonment rate) if the download time is less than 7 seconds. However, The abandonment rate goes up to 70% when the download time is around 12 seconds. This study clearly establishes the importance of fast response times to an e-commerce Web site to retain its customers.

متن کاملAccelerating Database Processing at e-Commerce Sites
Most e-commerce Web sites dynamically generate their contents through a three-tier server architecture composed of a Web server, an application server, and a database server. In such an architecture, the database server easily becomes a bottleneck to the overall performance. In this paper, we propose WDBAccel, a high-performance database server accelerator that significantly improves the throug...
