| Abstract | Design of high performance Web servers has become a recent research thrust to meet the increasing demand of network-based services. In this paper, we propose a new Web server architecture, called multi-threaded PIPELINED Web server, suitable for Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) or System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. The proposed PIPELINED model consists of multiple thread pools, where each thread pool consists of five basic threads and two helper threads. The main advantages of the proposed model are global information sharing by the threads, minimal synchronization overhead due to less number of threads, and non-blocking I/O operations, possible with the helper threads.We have conducted an in-depth performance analysis of the proposed server model along with four prior Web server models (Multi-Process (MP), Multi-Thread (MT), Single-Process Event-Driven (SPED) and Asynchronous Multi-Process Event-Driven (AMPED)) via simulation using six Web server workloads. The experiments are conducted to investigate the impact of various factors such as the memory size, disk speed and numbers of clients. The simulation results indicate that the proposed PIPELINED Web server architecture shows the best performance across all system and workload parameters compared to the MP, MT, SPED and AMPED models. Although the MT and AMPED models show competitive performance with less number of processors, the advantage of the PIPELINED model becomes obvious as the number of processors or clients in an SMP/SoC machine increases. The MP model shows the worst performance in most of the cases. The results indicate that the proposed server architecture can be used in future large-scale SMP/SoC machines to boost system performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
