Benchmarking 2012

Basic Premise

Following up on last year's exercise, the performance shoot-out presentation at FOSS4G2012 will test how long each Web mapping server takes to generate a map image, from a common set of spatial data, on a common platform. The data will be served by each Web mapping server through the WMS standard, which will serve exactly the same set of LAYERS. A JMeter load will be run on the testing box to measure various aspects of those layers.

Communication

Coordination/communication is primarily via the Benchmarking mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/benchmarking

Weekly meetings will occur through IRC chat in the #foss4g channel on irc.freenode.net (you can use webchat to connect in browser)

Participants

Server Teams:

Mapping Server	Development Team Leader	Confirmed
MapServer	Jeff McKenna, Michael Smith	Yes

SVN

• The project files (minus data) will be stored in Subversion (http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking/wms/2012/). If you need commit access contact jmckenna on IRC.

• Data will only be stored on the server (not in SVN)

• existing committers can add new OSGeoID users through this page: https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=osgeo
