IO-Lite: A unified I/O buffering and caching system
Proposes a new I/O API which they claim is more efficient than zero-copy kernels. Their tests show huge speedups (87%) for web servers but also for Unix pipes (compared to a regular kernel),
Better Operating System Features for Faster Network Servers,
A scalable and explicit event delivery mechanism for Unix
Proposes an API to replace select and solve its scalability problems. This would also form the basis for an asynchronous API,
Measuring the capacity of a Web Server
After reading this paper you will understand why standard benchmarks are not representative of the conditions encountered by a server on the Internet,
Lazy Receiver Processing (LRP): A network subsystem architecture for server systems
This article claims that servers put under a high load can enter a state of livelock in which they are unable to respond. It also explains why standard tests fail to reveal this. Can this still happen with modern machines ?
Flash: An efficient and portable Web server
Describes a web server with a weird architecture which allows it to be as efficient as single threaded servers when everything fits in the cache and still more efficient than other servers when there is paging. It seems to me like this is more a workaround (a clever one) for the lack of a good cross-platform asynchronous I/O API.
