Assignment #5 for Capacity Planning                                KJC (8/23/01)
-----------------------------------

DUE: 11/20 in class

For this assignment you are to compare weblite.c versus weblite1.c.  The
difference between the two programs is that weblite1.c uses threads to
handle gets, weblite.c has a single function call to handle gets.

You are to write benchmarks and run the against the two web server
implementations and make observations (and conclusions) on:

1) Performance for serial gets for small files
2) Performance for serial gets for large files
3) Performance for parallel gets for small files
3) Performance for parallel gets for files files

HINT #1: You can debug your benchmarks on one machine (i.e., run the
         web server and benchmark on one machine), but for your measurement
         runs you will need to use two machines.  I have machines in ENB 213
         that you are welcome to use.

HINT #2: The Christensen tools page contains many helpful programs.
