    Abstract

    One of the most common basic techniques for improving the performance of web
    applications is caching frequently accessed data in fast data stores,
    colloquially known as cache daemons. In this paper we present a cache daemon
    suitable for storing complex data while maintaining fine-grained control over
    data storage, retrieval and expiry. Data manipulation in this cache daemon is
    performed via standard SQL statements so we call it SQLcached. It is a
    practical, usable solution already implemented in several large web sites.

  2. Characteristics of multithreading models for high-performance IO driven network applications.

    Abstract

    In a technological landscape that is quickly moving toward dense multi-CPU
    and multi-core computer systems, where using multithreading is an increasingly
    popular application design decision, it is important to choose a proper model
    for distributing tasks across multiple threads that will result in the best
    efficiency for the application and the system as a whole. The work described in
    this paper creates, implements and evaluates various models of distributing
    tasks to CPU threads and investigates their characteristics for use in modern
    high-performance network servers.
