I've just recieved an OK to do some Benchmarks on a server cluster of
16+1 (master) dual 450 Mhz machines (master node is dual 650). I plan
on doing benchmarks and comparing perfornance for the following setups,
so far:
Server cluster using httpd process on each individual node and front
end round-robin scheme
Singe server on master node using MOSIX and high volume of child
processes
Trying to think of method to test optimal performance on Beowolf type
cluster
I will also try to play around with different Apache-2 setups if I can
figure out how to do so...
If people have any suggestions for other things to test, or ways to test
it, please let me know.
You can try to use Apache::Benchmark which I've started some 1.5 years
ago, but have never finished it so it wasn't released yet. But I think
it can be quite helpful, at least to start with. You can get it from:
http://stason.org/works/modules/Apache-Benchmark-0.01.tar.gz
I plan to resume working on this project as a ASF sub-project of
httpd-test (like Apache::Test) and eventually release it on CPAN, once I
port it to work with HTTP::ApacheBench and mod_perl 2.0's Apache::Test.
The problem is that currently the module is written in a way that the
client and the server are supposed to be run on the same machine, since
the client reconfigures/starts/stops the server. The architecture should
be extended to use PVM or some similar framework to be able to
start/stop/configure server on a remote machine.
