Performance Analysis of Multi-Thread Web Server

A web server is a computer with special software to host web pages and web applications. A computer that provides Web services and pages to intranet and internet users. A Web server is a program that, using the client/server model and the World Wide Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), serves the files that form Web pages to Web users (whose computers contain HTTP clients that forward their requests). Client starvation is one of the problems which will affect the response time for the client when issuing a request. A web server serves web pages to clients across the Internet or an Intranet. The web server hosts the pages, scripts, programs, and multimedia files and serves them using HTTP, a protocol designed to send files to web browsers and other protocols. Multithreading is a powerful tool for improving the performance of web servers. It allows a single processor to execute multiple tasks simultaneously, thus increasing the speed and efficiency of the server. By utilizing multiple threads, web servers can process multiple requests at the same time, resulting in faster response times and improved performance. Multithreading also allows web servers to handle more requests at once, which can lead to improved scalability. This study presents to show the difference between Multi- Thread and None Multi-Thread Systems using a web server program representing the client that generates a request to the server. The Server that responsible for accepting and handling clients’ requests. The results analysis and discussions are provided in section 5.
