Yi Song, Wu Zhang, Hong Mei Ni, Qiwen Zha · ASME Press eBooks · 2011
Apache is the most widely used HTTP server in the world. Requests per second, transfer rate, time per request is the widely used indices in benchmarking HTTP server. This paper used benchmark test program ab which is widely used compared the performances of Apache between the multi-core network processor OCTEON5860 and XEON E5506. The results show that the performance of OCTEON 5860 is better than XEON E5506. Finally, through analyzing the advantage of network processor OCTEON5860 explained the benchmarking result.
