Syed Mutahar Aaqib, Lalitsen Sharma · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2011
In this paper, the architecture of kernel-mode and user-mode webservers and the constraints that affect their performance are studied.A set of experiments have been performed to measure and analyze performance of kernel-mode and user-mode web servers on an open source Scientific Linux CERN platform.Web servers under study include kernel-mode TUX web server and user-mode Apache web server for varying static workload sizes.The results of the experiments revealed that the performance of kernel mode web servers greatly exceeds to that of user-space web servers.
