Hi FreeBSD Friends,
FreeBSDs Performance & Development on SMP Shows that it
is a Promising OS for Developing Applications that
Utilizes Multicore CPUs.
The Document "FreeBSD 7.0 and beyond" available @
http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/7.0 and beyond.pdf
clearly mention the SMPng project, various steps involved,
the Application performance Graphs of PostgreSQL & MySQL, ... more.
In the above mentioned document, page 15/30 mentions :
>> ?The degradation above 8 threads is due to scaling problems
within MySQL (not a FreeBSD kernel issue)
>> Ultimately a MySQL architectural problem
>> NB: On this benchmark PostgreSQL is 35% - 45% faster than
MySQL at all loads
This shows that : From a User Land Application Developers
view, In order to get better performance from a Multi Core
CPU Platform, Good Software (Application) Architecture is
must. Especially THREADS vs PROCESS.
Recently, I read about Apple's Grand Central Dispatch from
http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/
and
http://images.apple.com/macosx/technology/docs/GrandCentral_TB_brief_20090608.pdf
We are planning to Develop a LARGE SCALE Multi Level Marketing
(MLM/Network Marketing) Web Server Based Application,
Using : C++ in a Environment Supported by :
* FastCGI
* Web Server (Apache, Lighthttpd, NGiNX)
* Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
* OS (FreeBSD, LINUX, *NIX)
Our Aim is to develop a rock solid Application that Utilize
SMP on FreeBSD AMD64 Server Platform. Also it will be good
if we could write it in a portable way so that; Compatible
with LINUX & other leading *NIX.
We would like to know the following :
=====================================
1. General Guidelines / Bottle Necks / Do(s) n Dont(s)
on SMP based Application development
2. Standard Tools for Developing, Testing, Debugging
and Deployment
3. Standard and Portable way of developing SMP Application
through FreeBSD, LINUX, and all standard *NIX
4. Documents/Tutorials/Books/URL on SMP for Beginner,
Intermediate and Advanced Developer
5. The Best way of Developing SMP based Application
"EXCLUSIVELY ON FreeBSD" (no problem in Discarding Compatibility
with LINUX or Other *NIX, if required)
6. Suggestion on using Standard Portable "Threading library"
(e.g. Boost.Thread, ...) vs "Plain OS(FreeBSD) API"
7. Design guidelines in software architecture to scale the
Application into a CLUSTERED Computing Environment.
8. FreeBSD's Approach to SMP vs Apple's Grand Central
Dispatch (Least important: but just for Curiosity Sake Only)
Yes. We are googling for the required information.
But Comments/Advice/Suggestion from Experienced Developers
(especially : SMP Userland Application Developers) are more
valuable.
Since Multi Level Marketing (MLM/Network Marketing) Applications
should be designed to face large user base/complex-computing/high-scalability:
Valuable expert voice will help us to eliminate big bottle neck or
roadblocks just because of wrong choice or ignorant use of technology.
Thanks in Advance for your precious TIME and TALENT Share.
