Abstract

Conventional proxy web cache, which is generally used to caching server, is a content-copy based system. This method focuses on speeding up the phase delivery not improving the webserver performance. However, if immense clients attempt to connect the webserver simultaneously, the proxy web cache cannot achieve the desired result. In this paper, we propose the web accelerator called the SCALA-AX, whitch improves web server performance by accelerating the delivery contents. The SCALA-AX is built in the Linux-based kernel as a kernel module and works in combination with the conventional webserver program. The SCALA-AX speeds up the processing rate of the webserver, because it processes the requests using the kernel thread. The SCALA-AX also applies the well-developed cache algorithm to the processing, and thus it obtains the advantage of the caching server without installing additional hardware. A banchmarking test demonstrates that the SCALA-AX improves webserver performance by up to 500% for content delivery.
