Hi everyone,
Thank you to all those who have developed, and are continuing to develop
libevent.
We have just produced our real-time game engine and site back-end using 156
instances of libevent's embedded HTTP functionality.
On the 4th and 5th of March 2009, we're expecting up to 150,000 children
playing our online math game at the same time, each of whom are making requests
every second or two. Response times need to quick, and libevent provides this
with ease.
The article titled "LIBEVENT WEBSERVER IN 40 LINES OF C"
(http://3.rdrail.net/blog/libevent-webserver-in-40-lines-of-c/) indirectly took
me to your site. I know libevent is much more than the embedded HTTP server,
but if your looking to promote your efforts a bit further, something like that
right up on the front page would instantly impress.
So I just wanted to let you guys know that your efforts made it very easy to
develop a system that has a capacity to serve a very high volume of requests.
Thank you.
In case you're wondering, each instance of libevent is single threaded, with
each instance/thread locked to 1 of the 4 cores using affinity. A typical test
shows each core can handle around 7000 requests per second, with plenty of
processing power in reserve!
Warm regards,
Mr Shannon Morahan
