We study several transparent techniques for scaling dynamic content web sites, and we evaluate their relative impact when used in combination. Full transparency implies strong dat...
New connection-oriented networking technologies can provide quality-of-service guaranteed network connectivity required by some web-based applications. In this paper, we present a...
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 ...
Cluster-based servers can substantially increase performance when nodes cooperate to globally manage resources. However, in this paper we show that cooperation results in a substa...
Modern application infrastructures are based on clustered, multi-tiered architectures, where request distribution occurs in two sequential stages: over a cluster of web servers, a...
