Async IO - Servers Benchmark

Goal

Just do some dumb benchmarks against non-blocking i/o web server implementations

Sorry

I'm not the best with python and shell script, please if can make some of scripts better, fork me and request pull ;-)

Requirements

• bash(Linux, Mac and BSDs should had pre-installed)
• ruby 1.8.7(1.9.1 works??) (for thin) - www.ruby-lang.org
• python (for tornado and twisted) - www.python.org
• apache ( if you want to compare normal apache versus async/evented implementations) - httpd.apache.org

Optionals

• matplotlib to generate graphs - http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/index.html

Running

1. open a terminal
2. clone the repository
3. go to bench dir created by git clone(a.k.a: cd Async_Test)
4. verify if requeriments and optionals are installed
5. run the benchmark script

• ./run 2000 200
• where 2000 is number of requests and 200 is concurrency level

1. after 2 minutes(depending on your computer) it will finish with a graph(if matplotlib ok).
2. if doesn't have matplotlib installed, just run cat summary.txt
