How many requests per second served by alfresco?

[mork0075]

Hello,

do you have any values about how much requests per second a 1 server (database on the same server) Alfresco installation may serve for a common scenario?

Thanks a lot

Its probably only meaningfully use benchmarks for comparison so to chase after a figure of X TPS is not terrribly useful.

However this year old press release claims 140
http://www.alfresco.com/media/releases/2008/01/unisys-benchmark/
And my laptop manages about 15  :roll:

The benchmark above is over a year old.   Alfresco has moved on a lot since then and is much quicker.

What is your "common scenario"?    There will be wide variation between for example a heavy non cached search, streaming of a small file, creation of a new user or driving a user interface.

Your server will have  impact as well.    What OS, how many cores, how much ram, how good are your disks, what else is running on your network ?

You will also have to tune your database (which one?).  

Having the database on the same server as alfresco is probably not good for performance of either the database or alfresco.

Thanks.

What is your "common scenario"?

For example, loading the homepage of Alfresco Collaboration.

I'm not aware of any TPS benchmarks for "Share" (The Collaboration application)  which is still evolving rapidly.     It's still a little new for that sort of thing.

Also for the purposes of benchmarking the share interface.  There are large portions of the pages which are cached so you would have to design your test carefully.  Share does not need to run on the same machine as the alfresco repository and if you are interested in performance almost certainly shouldn't be on the same machine.

Hi,

Any new stats relating to the 140 number?

how would you benchmark 4.0d?

[mrogers]

a) Identify what you want to measure.
b) Run the system to be tested.
c) Vary something and compare before and after figures.

i want to performance teest it because it runs slow sometimes.

the following is the current jvm settings i am using

-server -Xms2G -Xmx3G -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xss1024k -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=80 -XX:NewSize=1G

What tool would you use?

I cannot find any clear documentation for v4.0d
