簡單的web server性能測試
最近一直在讀《java並發編程實踐》,書是絕對的好書,翻譯不能說差,也談不上好,特別是第一部分的前麵幾章,有的地方翻譯的南轅北轍了,還是要對照著英文版來看。我關注並發編程是從學習Erlang開始的,在多核來臨的時代,有人說並發將是下一個10年的關鍵技術。java5之前的多線程編程很複雜,況且我也沒有從事此類應用的開發,了解不多,而從jdk5引入了讓人流口水的concurrent包之後,java的並發編程開始變的有趣起來。書中第6章以編寫一個web server為例子,引出了幾種不同版本的寫法:單線程、多線程以及采用jdk5提供的線程池實現。我就用apache自帶的ab工具測試了下各個版本的性能,在redhat9 p4 2g內存的機器上進行了測試。
單線程模式,順序性地處理每一個請求,50000並發很快就沒有響應了,不參與比較了。再來看看我們自己寫的多線程方式處理每個請求:

修改下上麵的程序,采用jdk5提供的線程池:
private static Executor exec;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(80);
if (args.length == 0)
exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(NTHREADS);
else
exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(Integer.parseInt(args[0]));
while (true) {
final Socket connection = server.accept();
Runnable task = new Runnable() {

與上麵結果一比較,牛人寫的線程池終究是大大不一樣。當連接數增加到10W以上,兩個版本之間的性能差異就更明顯了。這裏采用的是固定線程池,如果采用緩衝線程池會怎麼樣呢?newFixedThreadPool改為newCachedThreadPool方法,測試可以發現結果與固定線程池的最佳結果相似。CachedThreadPool更適合此處短連接、高並發的場景。後來,我想Erlang寫一個簡單的web server,性能上會不會超過采用線程池的這個版本呢?試試:
-module(httpd).
-export([start/0,start/1,start/2,process/2]).
-import(regexp,[split/2]).
-define(defPort,80).
-define(docRoot,".").
start() -> start(?defPort,?docRoot).
start(Port) -> start(Port,?docRoot).
start(Port,DocRoot) ->
case gen_tcp:listen(Port, [binary,{packet, 0},{active, false}]) of
{ok, LSock} ->
server_loop(LSock,DocRoot);
{error, Reason} ->
exit({Port,Reason})
end.
%% main server loop - wait for next connection, spawn child to process it
server_loop(LSock,DocRoot) ->
case gen_tcp:accept(LSock) of
{ok, Sock} ->
spawn(?MODULE,process,[Sock,DocRoot]),
server_loop(LSock,DocRoot);
{error, Reason} ->
exit({accept,Reason})
end.
%% process current connection
process(Sock,DocRoot) ->
Req = do_recv(Sock),
{ok,[Cmd|[Name|[Vers|_]]]} = split(Req,"[ \r\n]"),
FileName = DocRoot ++ Name,
LogReq = Cmd ++ " " ++ Name ++ " " ++ Vers,
Resp = case file:read_file(FileName) of
{ok, Data} ->
io:format("~p ~p ok~n",[LogReq,FileName]),
Data;
{error, Reason} ->
io:format("~p ~p failed ~p~n",[LogReq,FileName,Reason]),
error_response(LogReq,file:format_error(Reason))
end,
do_send(Sock,Resp),
gen_tcp:close(Sock).
%% construct HTML for failure message
error_response(LogReq,Reason) ->
"<html><head><title>Request Failed</title></head><body>\n" ++
"<h1>Request Failed</h1>\n" ++
"Your request to " ++ LogReq ++
" failed due to: " ++ Reason ++ "\n</body></html>\n"
.
%% send a line of text to the
do_send(Sock,Msg) ->
case gen_tcp:send(Sock, Msg) of
ok ->
ok;
{error, Reason} ->
exit(Reason)
end.
%% receive data from the socket
do_recv(Sock) ->
case gen_tcp:recv(Sock, 0) of
{ok, Bin} ->
binary_to_list(Bin);
{error, closed} ->
exit(closed);
{error, Reason} ->
exit(Reason)
end.

結果讓人大失所望,這個結果與我們自己寫的多線程java版本差不多,與采用線程池的版本就差多了,減少並發的話,倒是比java版本的快點。側麵驗證了這個討論的結論:erlang的優勢就是高並發而非高性能。當然,這三者都比不上C語言寫的多線程web server。測試了unix/linux編程實踐中的例子,速度是遠遠超過前三者,不過支持的並發有限,因為係統創建的線程在超過5000時就崩潰了。如果采用jdk5進行開發,應當充分利用新的並發包,可惜我們公司還停留在1.4。
