Abstract

This paper combines fuzzy concepts with an existing dynamic performance isolation technique in order to improve the response time performance of a Web server supporting differentiated services. A load balancing mechanism based on the fuzzy control technique is developed in such a way that ambiguous situations caused by workload estimation of cluster-based Web servers, client request rates, and dynamic request rates can be represented in an effective way. In addition, we verify that the fuzzy-based performance isolation technique improves the performance and robustness of differentiated service systems efficiently through comparing 95-percentile of response time between the fuzzy-based Performance isolation technique and the existing one, which do not use the fuzzy concept.

본 논문에서는 차별화 서비스를 지원하는 웹 서버의 응답시간 성능을 향상시키기 위해 기존의 동적 성능 분리 기법에 퍼지 기법을 접목한다. 특히, 클러스터 기반 웹서버 시스템의 부하량에 대한 판단 기준 흑은 사용자 요청율 및 동적요청 비율 변화시에 발생하는 애매모호한 상황을 효과적으로 반영하기 위해, 퍼지제어 기법에 기초한 로드분배 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, 기존의 퍼지 기법을 활용하지 않은 성능분리 기법과 퍼지기법을 활용한 경우에 대해 응답시간(95-percentile of Response Time) 성능비교 평가를 통해 퍼지기반의 성능분리 기법이 차별화 서비스 시스템의 성능을 더욱 강건하고 효율적으로 향상시킬 수 있다는 점을 검증하였다.
