cppcms-users — Disussions of users of CppCMS

Re: [Cppcms-users] Cache limit=0 equals unlimited?

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Of course. When you access a cache and the object in L1 the request is still sent to a central server
but instead of returing as an ansever that contains the entire object, only the aknowledgement
that your object is up-to-date is sent. So basically you only may for a small ping-pong rather
than entire object transfer.

So it is consistent and transparent as if there were no L1 cache.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Cache limit=0 equals unlimited?

[Lee E. <lee...@gm...>]

is a ready made mechanism for invalidating L1 cache on one instance of
cppcms from another instance of cppcms when they use cppcms_scale?
without such a mechanism running with L1 & L2 configuration can be
problematic

Re: [Cppcms-users] Big cache

[Lee E. <lee...@gm...>]

since this type of data is already stored in some form of a db - why not
get most of this information prepared before hand in the db?
intersection of lists of friends for people who are likely to be used can
be kept as a new table, or as an additional column and you can have a ready
and waiting index ready for you to iterate over.
the only thing you can not prepare before hand is the online status
i would not go for any already made caching solution as a cure for the
problem - i would have created approached it as a data mining problem - and
calculate everything possible before hand in the background

Yes, you are right I've got little bit confused,
however it is still hard to benchmark more then 20K concurrent requests
as you need many clients on different ip addresses.

So plan it as scalable application and use multiple processes. prefork would work
better with many concurrent connections.

In any case I don't see specific restrictions given enough memory and configures OS.

wow.  you do benchmark on a laptop? :)
Thanks for the detailed reply, and here is another reference I read about:

It mentioned C65K Myth.

Actually I expect more connection than that.
The more connection I can have per server, the less cost it will be.

I will try and see how it comes :)

thanks,

Re: [Cppcms-users] CppCMS as Comet Server

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

Actually it is very good questions...

What is the performance, I did some benchmarks but had not full time to publish them...

In general I could easily handle 20,000 connections and send updates (SSE) using vanila CppCMS code
and broadcast around 50,000 messages per second (i.e. each  connection 2.5 msg/s)

Having 200-500 connections I could send about 100,000 messages per second.

This was done using the most stright forward implementation using event-stream API I had written about it in the blog.

Now to handle more than 20,000 K connections you need more network interfaces (ips) (as TCP/IP can't handle theoretically more than 65K connections in single IP address) which i couldn't check.

Now when you deal with Comet everything is handled in currently single event loop one thread. So to scale up today the
easiest is to use prefork mode (more then 1 worker process see service.worker_processes)
thus you would have several event loops and you can scale them
over multiple CPUs. It would be slower for low loads for much better for high onces.

For example using 20,000 connections I could send 120,000 msgs/s i.e. 6/msg per connection which was quite liner scale up over CPUs on this particular machine.

However using prefork with comet would require IPC so you would need to notify somehow each process on event, but it is must to
have to scale over multiple CPUs and especially over multiple hosts.

Also in general such benchmarking requires:

- Tuning TCP/IP stack, make big backlog - very important and setting appropriate backlog option in application, also make sure you have wide port range, etc.
- Ensure you have high ulimits to handle many descriptors

Also I should note that I expect to do some optimization in CppCMS 1.2 to increase these numbers after some extensive profiling I did
(there is lots of space for improvement)

All these numbers I got running on Laptop with i5 2.4 GHz 2 cores 4 threads 4GB RAM (of wich I used quite a few)

[Cppcms-users] CppCMS as Comet Server

[william l. <we...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm thinking of using CppCMS to implement a Comet Server for Pushing short
messages to connected users via Http.

Do you have any ideas from performance perspective, how much connections
CppCMS application can handle at the same time per server?

The server spec is like 10G RAM, 8Core CPU etc, and http traffic is not
heavy, I'm thinking about keep a connection for 10 mins then release it and
let it reconnect back.

If anyone have some benchmark result, that will be great!

Thanks and appreciated

Happy New Year
William L.

Thanks for answer. But i need little bit explain. For example we have social 
network (real big social network). We have 3,4,5,6... million users. 
And we have common friends.
Algorithm:

1:
select friend_id from friends where user_id = 1 (10000 rows)
select friend_id from friends where user_id = 2 (6000 rows)

(without join's)

2:
std::set_intersection (return data we need caching)

So i need store friends, common friends, online friends etc...

Re: [Cppcms-users] Big cache

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

On the second thought I maybe misunderstood your question.

How do you know that cache_limit is 1G?


	1. First of all what is the average size of your objects in cache? Set cache_limit = 1G / avr(object_size).
	2. There is a process shared cache that uses shared memory and its size is defined by memory size, it is little bit less efficient than thread shared cache because of less efficient memory allocation algorithm (in 1.0.2 but improved in trunk) but in general you should not feel it.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Big cache

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

See, you don't cache objects of 500MB in memory...

Caching system is designed for pages and other objects of reasonable size
that their generation is costly,

Also remember that saving objects to cache and using it from cache involves some
memcpy... and than serving.

if you want to serve huge files/data (and cache them) it is much better to use file system for this.

Put them on disk and tell lighttpd, nginx or even apache to serve them, it would do it much better.

For example lighttpd would know to transfer them using sendfile directly from disk to socket
without even copying the data to user space.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Cache limit=0 equals unlimited?

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

No,

it means empty or no cache...

In case of cppcms_scale, the cache size is defined by the cppcms_scale server, L1 cache size (internal
cache) is defined by its size.

Description cache system with cppcms_scale can work on two levels L1 the local cache that is validated
against the server such that it allows not to transfer data if it is already locally cached.

Yep, i know. But when you store big data in cache it maybe a problem, you know.

A suggestion. If your cache is 1g then put some more ram. I do not think
anything will break with such a small cache.

Oh that's really neat! Works like a charm! Thanks so much
for the quick advices.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

First of all you can override the main() function of topmost application and check the requests before they are dispatched

for example

void main(std::string url)
{
    if(this_is_valid_url_for_the_user(url)) {
      // go to standard dispatching mechanism.
      cppcms::application::main(url);
    }
    else {
       response().make_error_response(401);
    }
}

Also this thread may be helpful as it discuss roughly the same

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Sab <rim...@gm...>]

No, these are not static files. The client is a user interface
of a cluster controller, so the resources are basically funtions
that either control some hardware or generate an XML result as
response. 

I'm thinking now of using the regular Responder mode and implement
the authorizer functionality manually, before the request is
processed. I would like to use the cppcms dispatcher mechanism
but I'm not sure at which point I would be able to grab the 
request and have the option to reject it (if the user does not
have sufficient rights). 

It would be good to do it at a central point, before the 
dispatcher routes to the processing funtions. I thought that 
the Init() of the object that I can pass to dispatcher::assign 
could be helpful, but can I  access the request (e.g. the url)
at that point and reject the execution of the assigned function
if the user does not have access right?

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Szabolcs R. <rim...@go...>]

No, these are not static files. The client is a user interface of a cluster
controller, so the resources are basically funtions that either control
some hardware or generate an XML result as response.

I'm thinking now of using the regular Responder mode and implement the
authorizer functionality manually, before the request is processed. I would
like to use the cppcms dispatcher mechanism but I'm not sure at which point
I would be able to grab the request and have the option to reject it (if
the user does not have sufficient rights).

It would be good to do it at a central point, before the dispatcher routes
to the processing funtions. I thought that the Init() of the object that I
can pass to dispatcher::assign could be helpful, but can I  access the
request (e.g. the url) at that point and reject the execution of the
assigned function if the user does not have access right?

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Lee E. <lee...@gm...>]

if what you need is to authorize static files - just serve them all through
the CppCMS app to the client
then the cppcms can use headers to serve the files back from the lighty or
return unauthorize response if you need to deny it

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Sab <rim...@gm...>]

True. Simply adding FCGI_AUTHORIZER in fastcgi_api.cpp line 440) worked 
out fine. I get the request and can deny it by returning 401. That's cool.

BUT!

I just can't digest the fact that there is no info about the url in this 
authorize request message! The  CONTENT_LENGTH, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, 
and SCRIPT_NAME are in fact empty. How stupid is that!?!? You were right:
this authorizer feature of FastCGI is absolutely useless without knowing
what the user actually tries to access!

I think I will just use a responder and implement the authorizer myself
before processing the request. I wanted to keep the authorization separated
from the processing but that will not work out.

Thanks so much for your hints.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Integrated FastCGI module

[Artyom B. <art...@ya...>]

One small note:

I don't think there should be a big problem to change fastcgi connector to handle authorizer requests.

I think it should be enough to accept role == FCGI_AUTHORIZER in addition to role == FCGI_RESPONDER
in fastcgi_api.cpp line 440) but you should be aware of the following fastcgi specs:

The Authorizer application receives HTTP request information from the Web server on the FCGI_PARAMS stream, in the same format as a Responder. The Web server does not send CONTENT_LENGTH, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, and SCRIPT_NAME headers


Which makes it quite useless for control of specific files as PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME are critical for content detection.
