Hi All,
I'm trying to optimize the performance of my server, which is deployed in a cluster environment using Apache Load balancer and Tomcat container. mod_jk is used to communicate between load balancer and tomcat container. Apache is configured to use worker MPM mode. I have done various tests to find optimized tomcat, apache and Linux configuration for my application. Following are the machines I'm using for this load test. Machines configurations ------------------------------------ Apache Load balancer:: 2.8 GHz Dual Core , 4GB RAM Tomcat :: 2.66 GHz 2 CUP, Dual Core, 6 GB RAM There is an interesting observation when I alter my configuration to run multiple tomcat instances on same machine. My throughput increases to 2 times the original throughput if I run 2 instance of tomcat instead of single tomcat instance. I'm trying to understand this behavior as I'm not very keen in running multiple tomcat instances on same machines. Thanks, Nishi
