Double Queue Management for Reducing disk I / O of Web Servers
Mi Ryeong Yeom · The KIPS Transactions PartA · 2001
This paper propose the DoubleQ web server that classifies incoming requests according to whether the requested document is cached or not. Requests that demand a cached document is put into the Service Queue while other requests are added to the Defer Queue. The DoubleQ web server services requests that are in the Service Queue before it services requests in the Defer Queue. This strategy is used to reduce disk accesses that have been the predominant overhead of traditional web servers. Experimental results using synthetic data show that improvements in the average user response time and the throughput of the web server may be achieved.
