Suggestions for Web Server Evaluation April 21, 2009

You might find it helpful to check out the web server evaluations performed in the following two papers:

• Flash: An Efficient and Portable Web Server
• SEDA: An Architecture for Well-Conditioned, Scalable Internet Services

We don’t require that you evaluate your web server using the approaches from these papers; feel free to copy those tests that seem relevant, but be sure to justify why you picked them.

Assignment 1 Submission Instructions April 14, 2009

Assignment 1 is due by 5 pm on Thursday, April 16th.  Place your code and makefile and README in a directory labeled A-B where A and B are the last names of the two people in your group.  Use tar to create a file A-B.tar.gz and email it to barath@cs.ucsd.edu.  Your makefile should generate a binary named “server” and upon execution the server should take the listening port number as an option.  Your README should contain a brief description of what you implemented, how you implemented it, and what problems there were (or still are).  Your assignment will be evaluated under Linux (2.6.21-rc6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with GCC/G++ version 3.4.6).

The grading checklist that will be used to evaluate your submission is here.  Take a look and feel free to share test cases, questions, and answers in the comments section of this post.

How to Post Paper Evaluations April 1, 2009

Once you sign up for a wordpress account and are added to the blog (see the post below), log in and visit this page.  Click “Profile” on the left side of the screen, enter your first and last name, and click “Update Profile” at the bottom.

To submit a paper evaluation, select “Add New” from the “Posts” menu on the left.  Use the title of the paper you are evaluating as the post title and fill in your evaluation as the post body.  Select the category corresponding to the paper you are evaluating on the right side of the screen and add a few tags to describe the paper (each tag can be a word or phrase).  You can update your evaluation and “Save Draft” as many times as you want.  When you are ready to submit your evaluation, click “Submit for Review”.  (This should be done any time before class on the day the evaluation is due.)  Your review will appear on the course blog later in the day.

Once the evaluations for a paper are up, feel free to post comments or questions in response to other students’ evaluations and to discuss what you think about the paper.
