Hi,
We've been using MapServer for a while. It has been used to produce maps
for the "Inforoutière", the official source of all the information
needed to plan safe trips on Québec’s road network, whatever the season.
It has been running on Windows 2003 (32 bits) for over a year.
At the beginning, many "stress tests" were realised.
We were able to generate around 12 maps / second.
But now, due to the popularity of the site, this seems not to be enough
in special occasions, such as during a snow storm.
The bottle neck seems to be the CPU.
One of the few options we were looking at is the possibility of using a
64 bits version of MapServer (on a 64 bits OS of course).
My question is simple : has any one tested a 64 bits version ? Can I
expect a better performance ? Is there a 64 bits version available for
download (I've been using the MS4W Windows binary distribution version) ?
James,
I'm not aware of a 64bit MS4W, and generally you will have a hard time
getting 64bit mapserver binaries. I am doubtful that moving to 64bit
will noticably speed things up, though moving to a faster CPU or to a multi
core system may help substantially.
Best regards,
