The overall increase in traffic on the World Wide Web is augmenting user-perceived
response times from popular Web sites, especially in conjunction with special events …

The memory coherence problem in designing and implementing a shared virtual memory on
loosely coupled multiprocessors is studied in depth. Two classes of algorithms, centralized …

Popular Web sites cannot rely on a single powerful server nor on independent mirrored-
servers to support the ever-increasing request load. Distributed Web server architectures …

We consider cluster-based network servers in which a front-end directs incoming requests to
one of a number of back-ends. Specifically, we consider content-based request distribution …

This paper presents the design of a new Web server architecture called the asymmetric multi-
process eventdriven (AMPED) architecture, and evaluates the performance of an …

The exponential growth of the Internet, coupled with the increasing popularity of dynamically
generated content on the World Wide Web, has created the need for more and faster Web …

57 ABSTRACT A Server System for processing client requests received over a
communication network includes a cluster of N document Servers and at least one …

(57) ABSTRACT A client request directed to a web site or other Service hosted by a
distributed pool of Servers is processed by a client agent asSociated with the client. The …

This paper describes the motivation, design, internal implementation of Linux Virtual Server.
The goal of Linux Virtual Server is to provide a basic framework to build highly scalable and …

In network (eg, Web) servers, it is often desirable to isolate the performance of different
classes of requests from each other. That is, one seeks to achieve that a certain minimal …
