The last paragraph in the volano report conclusions:
"The good news is that Dan Kegel's C10K Problem has been solved in Java 1.3, even when using the original blocking Java input and output methods, and even when using modest hardware. The bad news is that the Java vendors seem to have abandoned that achievement in Java 1.4. Blackdown 1.4.1 no longer offers the -green Classic VM option that allows so many connections with the 1.3.1 release. The BEA High Performance Threading System (Thin Threads) is no longer so highly performing in JRockit versions 7.0 and 8.1 compared to the earlier 3.1 release. Tower Technology, with its fast and scalable TowerJ product, simply went out of business. However, there is still cause for hope. The new I/O model in Java 1.4 allows some server applications to reduce their thread count to single digits; the Native POSIX Thread Library in Red Hat Linux 9 promises to solve the problems of highly-threaded Java applications on Linux once and for all; and of course, increases in hardware performance have made some of these problems simply evaporate. With these changes in hand, Java developers can start making headway in the C100K Problem."
Just what does "C100K" represent?
Steve.
