Vectorizing Instance-Based Integration Processes

Abstract. The inefficiency of integration processes—as an abstraction of workflow-based integration tasks—is often reasoned by low resource utilization and significant waiting times for external systems. Due to the increasing use of integration processes within IT infrastructures, the throughput optimization has high influence on the overall performance of such an infrastructure. In the area of computational engineering, low resource utilization is addressed with vectorization techniques. In this paper, we introduce the concept of vectorization in the context of integration processes in order to achieve a higher degree of parallelism. Here, transactional behavior and serialized execution must be ensured. In conclusion of our evaluation, the message throughput can be significantly increased. Key words: Vectorization, Integration Processes, Throughput Optimization, Pipes and Filters, Instance-Based
