Gemstone configurations
Locked
 
|
Ciao,
the next week i do a real test of People Party application based on Seaside and Gemstone.. The People Party application is a branch of http://pharo.org/success/IPOS solutions. The goal is to handle the orders made by people at a popular party, and all the management of production and delivery of their orders. 95% of the workload is concentrated within 2 hours. There are some fixed and mobile stations for collecting orders and printing of their tickets. And production centers ( kitchen - oven pizza ..... ) are equipped with terminals and printers for the production and delivery of orders. Now I should understand how to configure gemstone to let the system support the load. As a starting point I know that every 'basic' action required by a browser, load a gem for at least 100ms. Considering having ten workstations running at the same time to collecting the orders ........ plus other load to print the tickets, plus the other productions centers updates.... ( every 10 seconds ..... ) The server is based on intel Core i5 2,6 GHz with 4GB of Ram ( plus other 4GB if need ) How many gems is required? How much memory for any gem ? How to configure the SPC ? Thanks for considerations, Dario _______________________________________________ Glass mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gemtalksystems.com/mailman/listinfo/glass |

Ciao,
I setup a PC with : Core i5 - 8Gb Ram - SSD 128Gb In the next week i will do some experiment to understand the performance of my application based on Seaside. My goal is to support 20 - 30 current device on Local Network and relative wifi ( 802.11b or 802.11n) Questions: a) In the past i use the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS O/S It is a best choice? In future i think to setup a small Dell server. b) For the web server i have some experience with Lighttpd http server, but often i found reference to: NGINX HTTP server. Considerations? c) How many gems i need ? One gem for any device ? d) How many space a gem required ? Is configurable? e) How many FastCGI run - configured ? f) How i can request a limited key file to do experimentation test ? g) I know two parameter for configure the GLASS: The: SHR_PAGE_CACHE_SIZE_KB = 2097152 GEM_TEMPOBJ_CACHE_SIZE = 50000 There are other important parameters? Where i can read about these? Thank for any considerations, Dario

Hi Dario,
I made some ansible scripts that will set up GemStone on Ubuntu 16.04 with nginx. They are here: https://github.com/GsDevKit/GsDevKit_ansible And they worked the last time I tried them. Let me know if you try them and they do not work. I've answered some of your other questions below. Good luck. Best? Theres no way to know. It will work well though. And since you already are familiar with it you should use it. Since you already are familiar with lighttpd you should use it. The choice between nginx or lighttpd isn't going to make or break your project. If you want to explore using nginx the ansible scripts I posted above will set it all up for you. Theres no way to know without testing you apps workload. Start with three FastCGI gems and add more if its too slow. Theres no way to know without testing. Start with the defaults and increase the value of the GEM_TEMPOBJ_CACHE_SIZE variable (in the gem.conf file that GsDevKit_home leaves in the stone directory) when you start running out of memory. It may be too high or too low depending on your workload. Start with three You have to email their sales department if you need a license beyond the basic free one. See https://gemtalksystems.com/licensing/ There is a more elaborate free one on that page. https://gemtalksystems.com/products/gs64/versions33x/ has a System Administrator guide. It has information about the system parameters you can set. I only ever edit the two you mention though.
