Overloading Simulation and Performance Benchmarking on Web Servers
Min Zhang · Computer Engineering and Science · 2007
The overloading mechanism of typical Web servers is analysed in the paper. A high-performance workload generator for Web servers named aLoad is designed and implemented on the basis of the event-driven and asynchronous I/O technologies. Driven by aLoad, overloading simulation, performance benchmarking and analysis are done on the Apache Web server. The experimental results demonstrate that aLoad is able to generate higher concurrent workload than traditional benchmarking tools can do.
