Apache benchmarking UBC Blogs

by S on September 4, 2008

Just had a complaint about response time on the system. Ran some benchmarks here is a result from the homepage using: ab -n 40 -c 20

Time per request:       2.152 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate:          10059.36 [Kbytes/sec] received

This is very fast. Checked the server logs nothing out of the norm. Makes me think that it was a network issue.

Documentation/portfolio

by Andre on August 21, 2008

So here is the the structure that Vince and I were thinking of for our documentation/work term reports.

Project

Motivation

Challenges

Challenge1

Challenge2

Challenge3

Future

So for instance if I was doing Course blogs I would have:

Course Blogs

Motivation

Challenges

Aggregation: Aggregators break and are insecure

User Managment: Adding 100 users to a blog at a time manually is not very fun

Aggregation

BDPRSS

FeedWordPress

User Managment

Add User

Add to BDP RSS

Future

Add to FeedWordPress

Mass Population of blogs

I’m thinking that on this site we can use the “e-portfolio” sub-pages for each project and just have the sections be posts within that.

Comments, questions, ideas?
