Re: [benchmarks] Server-side PHP

Hi Alexander, I have now recognized you, the student Nuno mentioned. Google told me about the project: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/ gsoc2009/php/t124023314595 It is great to have you and I am happy to provide any advice as much as I can. To quickly start from coding, you may want to make a jump-start rather than spending too much time for obtaining a community consensus of suitable benchmark workload, by looking at some existing works for providing webapp benchmarks in PHP. My humble recommendation is to start from an academic paper written by one of my colleagues which presents some experiments using hand-made PHP Web application benchmarks: Hiroshi Inoue, Hideaki Komatsu, and Toshio Nakatani, "A Study of Memory Management for Web-based Applications on Multicore Processors", ACM SIGPLAN 2009 Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI 2009), 2009 http://www-plan.cs.colorado.edu/~pldi09/program.html#day3 (While it is not published yet, I have a camera-ready copy of it and got a permission to send it to others from the primary author. I will send it to you directly.) You can first reproduce the benchmarks at hand.
