Hi everybody, I am facing a stress-testing problem using Tomcat 5.5 and Axis 1.4, and I really need some ideas about what is happening behind the scenes.
This is the configuration: a few web services hosted on Axis 1.4 are deployed on Tomcat. Everything runs on 2 Linux Pentium 4 machines (with hyperthreading), one as client using Jmeter, the other one as server. The problem is that I cannot run as many / time-consuming requests so that the processor on the server reaches 100% CPU load. It only reaches 90%, so the measurements for throughput that I need to obtain by this testing, cannot be too relevant; I want 100% of the CPU working. So my question would be - why is 10% of the CPU idle ? I should mention that I already did a few performance tweaks, for the JVM memory, and decreased the connection timeout for Tomcat to a few dozen milliseconds. Still, it doesn;t reach 100% load, although I varied request message length, and thread numbers. If you have any ideas, please help.
