WPS benchmark 2014

WPS Benchmark 2014
This page contains informations about the (possible) WPS Benchmarking session for the FOSS4G@PDX in 2014.

Plan (Draft)

 * Call for project, call for testing proposition, scénarios and designation of one contact user (for providing private informations, mainly ip, logins and passwords)
 * Setup a host that we will call the "test server" and give access to one user per project involved (server specification to come, if there is any specific requirement for your solution to be setup please let us know)
 * Call project for installing their solutions on the test server
 * Vote then define testing procedures / method / scenarios
 * Run the tests on each instances setup on the test server and publish results (at any time a team may modify the setup they made initialy and then ask that a test shlould be run against their setup again)
 * Have a WPS Benchmarking web site providing detailed informations about the tests, displaying results in fancy ways ...

Projects and people

 * ZOO-Project, Gerald Fenoy, Nicolas Bozon, Venkatesh Raghavan
 * 52°North, Benjamin Pross
 * GeoServer, Jody Garnett
 * PyWPS, Jachym Cepicky, Jorge de Jesus

Available infrastructure
A dedicated server was started on april 15th and contain hosts configured for different projects, it have the following specs:

* Processor: Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 (4 cores/ 8 threads) 3.4 GHz+ * RAM: 32 GB DDR3 * Disks: 2 x 2 TB SATA (raid hard) * Network connection: 1Gbps * Bandwidth: 200 Mbps

The server ip address is the following : 37.187.89.64.

By now, there is no failover IP available (this can be modified if required) so we need to share ports between each environments. Here are the port definitions for each environment:
