  2. Contents • Introduction • Problems of select() & ufalloc() in event-driven servers • Scalable select() & ufalloc() • Experimental evaluation • Performance of a live system • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Event-driven servers • A single thread • manage all connections • Lower context-switching & synchronization overhead • faster than a thread-per-connection or pre-forked system • But, perform poorly under real conditions • select() & ufalloc() • select() • Asynchronous I/O • ufalloc() • Allocation of a new file descriptor for a process

  4. Problems in select() & ufalloc() • WAN environments • Larger round-trip time and packet losses than LAN environments • Many open connections • select() • select() -> do_scan() -> selscan() -> soo_select() • select_wakeup() -> do_scan() -> selscan() -> soo_select() • soo_select() • check to see if the condition is true • Linear search for all opened socket • ufalloc() • Single bitmap (first lower descriptor number) • Too cost

  5. Environment • Server • AlphaStation 500(400Mhz), 192 MB of main memory • Digital UNIX 4.0B • Squid 1.1.11, NetCache 3.1.2c-OSF • Client • AlphaStation 500(333Mhz) • Digital UNIX 3.2C • S-Client • Network • 100Mbps FDDI • Profiling • DCPI

  6. CPU times in unmodified kernel

  7. Scalable select() & ufalloc() 1 0 Level 0 map 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 Level 1 map • select() • READY, INTERESTED, HINTS set • sowakeup() • Records a hint in the HINTS sets of each of the threads in the referencing processes for which this socket is present in the INTERESTED set of the thread. • ufalloc() • 2-level bitmap INTERESTEDnew = SELECTING U INTERESTEDold READYnew = C (INTERESTEDnew ^ (!INTERESTEDold U READYold U HINTS)) READYto_user = SELECTING ^ READYnew

  8. Experimental Evaluation- Scalability with respect to connection rate * 750 infinitely slow connections

  9. Experimental Evaluation- Scalability with respect to connection rate

  10. Experimental Evaluation- Scalability with respect to connection count

  11. Performance of a live system • Server • A Web proxy system at DEC • AlphaStation 500 (500 MHz), 512 MB of RAM • Running the system for an entire day • Proxy • Squid • NetCache

  12. Performance of a live system- NetCache with caching disabled

  13. Performance of a live system- NetCache with caching disabled

  14. Performance of a live system- NetCache with caching enabled

  15. Performance of a live system- NetCache with caching enabled

  16. Performance of a live system- Squid with caching disabled

  17. Performance of a live system- Squid with caching disabled

  18. Performance of a live system- Squid with caching disabled

  19. Conclusions • WAN delays • Linear scaling in the select() & ufalloc() • lead to excessive kernel CPU computation • Scalable versions • improve the performance of Web servers and proxies
