This paper is concerned with performance debugging of multi- tier applications, such as commonly found in servers and dynamic-content web sites. Existing tools and techniques for profiling such applications are not general enough to track and profile trans ...
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 data consistency as perceived by the user, no modi- fications to existing dynami ...
Caching dynamic web content is an effective approach to reduce Internet latency and server load. An ideal caching solution is one that can be added transparently by the developers and provides complete consistency of the cached documents, while minimizing ...
Caching is an effective means for reducing load on web servers, especially for those that dynamically generate web documents in J2EE applications. While adding caching to the application server can greatly reduce response times for requests, the logic to e ...
On-line services are making increasing use of dynamically generated Web content. Serving dynamic content is more complex than serving static content. Besides a Web server, it typically involves a server-side application and a database to generate and store ...
Dynamic content Web sites consist of a front-end Web server, an application server and a back-end database. In this paper we introduce distributed versioning, a new method for scaling the back-end database through replication. Distributed versioning provid ...
Query-response based protocols between a client and a server such as SSL, TLS, SSH are asymmetric in the sense that the querying client and the responding server play different roles, and for which there is a need for two-way linkability between queries an ...
This thesis introduces a new implementation of the LAIO api, liblaiogen. LAIO stands for Lazy Asynchronous I/O. It is an api for performing asynchronous I/O. Among several benefits, one of the most important is that LAIO is lazy, in the sense that it creat ...
In this paper , we introduce Lazy Asynchronous I/O (LAIO),a new API for performing I/O that is well-suited but not limited to the needs of high-performance, event-driven servers. In addition, we describe and evaluate an implementation of LAIO that demonstr ...
This paper presents a method for admission control and request scheduling for multiply-tiered e-commerce Web sites, achieving both stable behavior during overload and improved response times. Our method externally observes execution costs of requests onlin ...
