Hi all,
this mail is a call to all able hands to help GeoServer
in the WMS performance shootout 2010.
This year there will be quite some servers participating: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2010
and while each one has a representative, each server
is actually backed up by a small team of 2-5 people.
The contents of the benchmark are still being defined,
but it's likely that this year we'll have raster/vector,
reprojection, fixed data format as well as best effort
(use whatever data format gives the best results).
If you want to help keep GS colors high please join,
testing, profiling and improving the code are all
quite time consuming activities, plus, the more brains
we throw at the optimizations problems, the better
Cheers
Andrea

I would very much be interested in helping out, knowing full well that I won't be nearly as effective as tweaking GeoServer for peak performance. That said though I would love to help out.
What would be the best way to land a hand? I am not sure how the benchmarking is shaping up this year but perhaps it makes sense to have volunteers take at least one "category" of test. Where category would mean a specific request chain, combination of backend format and output format. Or maybe one person specializes in a specific backend format. Not sure.
Let me know what you think Andrea... i mean team captain

How would you like to handle things Andrea? Can we make a jira issue for the shoot out; and have sub tasks for optimisation tasks? Should we just discuss individual troubles as they come up on the email list?
When is the deadline for the shoot out? I won't have much time until next month.

Ha ha!
At the moment the rules of the game are being defined. So imho
the best way to contribute is to sign up on the osgeo-benchmarking
list (http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/benchmarking)
and participate in the discussion some way, or just listen
and share ideas/concerns on irc/gs list.
Past that there is lots that can be done: testing locally,
helping the preparation of data and styles, setup the
remote server, share optimization ideas, propose patches, and
so on: sky's the limit
Cheers

Not sure. Some time ago Simone came up with a Google spreadsheet
with specific optimization targets.
It might be a nice balance between collaboration needs and
avoiding to spoil the results before the presentation is made.
When is the deadline for the shoot out? I won't have much time until
next month.
Last year we hammered the test servers up until one week from the
presentation. Not sure what we'll do this year
Cheers

Cool I am on that list so I will start trying to be more active. Is there a configuration around from last year? I guess on the benchmarking machine?
