FOSS4G Benchmark

== FOSS4G WMS Benchmark ==

== Introduction ==

The FOSS4G WMS Benchmark tests 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.

== FOSS4G Performance Shoot-out ==

Following a WMS server performance comparison between Mapserver and GeoServer at FOSS4G 2007 in Victoria, a performance shoot-out presentation at the yearly FOSS4G was institutionalized.

One of the most important 'rules of engagement' for each Web server team is that all parties must contribute any changes that they make to their software for this exercise, back to their community.

== Running the FOSS4G WMS Benchmark ==

The FOSS4G is a useful test suite for your own WMS server installation. This section gives you step-by-step instructions for running the FOSS4G WMS benchmark on different platforms.

=== SVN ===

The project files (minus data) are stored in Subversion (http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking/).

=== Running Benchmark 2009 on Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" ===

==== Install scripts and data sets ====

Needed packages:
sudo apt-get install subversion unzip
sudo apt-get install jmeter jmeter-http jmeter-junit
sudo ln -s /usr/share/jmeter/ /usr/share/jmeter/lib/junit

Get the test scripts and configuration files:
svn export -r 3084 http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking foss4g_benchmark

Some scripts need base path /opt/benchmarking
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/foss4g_benchmark /opt/benchmarking

Download the test data sets:
mkdir data
cd data
#Download data: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2009#Download
for i in GNIS-2009.zip raster-data.zip vector-data-tiger08-tx-merged.zip vector-data-tiger08-tx-counties.zip; do
wget --user=foss4g --password=foss4g http://www.maptools.org/foss4g/$i
unzip $i
done

==== PostgreSQL 8.4 ====

sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4 postgresql-8.4-postgis

sudo su postgres

psql -c "CREATE ROLE benchmark LOGIN PASSWORD 'benchmark'"

Optional: For local access via socket insert the following line in
/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf:
local benchmark benchmark trust

createdb -E latin1 --owner benchmark benchmark
createlang -d benchmark plpgsql
psql -q -d benchmark -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis.sql
psql -q -d benchmark -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/spatial_ref_sys.sql
psql -q -d benchmark -c "GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE ON TABLE public.geometry_columns TO benchmark;"
psql -q -d benchmark -c "GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE ON TABLE public.spatial_ref_sys TO benchmark;"

export PGUSER=benchmark
export PGPASSWORD=benchmark

shp2pgsql -I -D GNIS-2009/gnis_names09.shp gnis_names09 | psql -q -h localhost -d benchmark
shp2pgsql -I -D TIGER-2008/48_TEXAS/areawater_merge.shp areawater_merge | psql -q -h localhost -d benchmark
shp2pgsql -I -D TIGER-2008/48_TEXAS/edges_merge.shp edges_merge | psql -q -h localhost -d benchmark

exit #back to regular user

==== UMN Mapserver ====

sudo apt-get install mapserver-bin cgi-mapserver

Apache Fast-CGI:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid
ln -s mapserv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi

/etc/apache2/conf.d/fcgi:

<IfModule fcgid_module>
#fcgi settings (see http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html)
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 8
</IfModule>

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

==== Installation checks ====

cd foss4g_benchmark/scripts

Basic Mapserver installation check:
shp2img -m ../mapserver/shapefile-merged.map -o /tmp/out.png

Mapserver/Shapefile CGI:
LANG=en_US jmeter -t mapserver/vector/shp_areawater_merge.jmx

==== Setup connection settings ====

Set your connection parameters:
WMS_HOST="localhost"
PG_CONN="dbname=benchmark user=benchmark password=benchmark port=5432 host=localhost"

Replace connection settings in map files:
sed --in-place -e "s/dbname=benchmark user=postgres password=postgres port=5432 host=192.168.0.8/$PG_CONN/" ../mapserver/postgis.map

Replace WMS host name in JMeter configuration:
FILES=$(find . -name '*.jmx')
sed --in-place -e "s/192.168.0.3/$WMS_HOST/" $FILES

[http://saranasukses.com/outsourcing-indonesia.html outsourcing indonesia]
[http://www.tokobungasabana.com toko bunga]
[http://www.tokobungasabana.com toko bunga online]

Set all jmeter configurations to Mapserver FCGI:
FILES=$(find . -name '*.jmx')
sed --in-place -e "s/mapserv560beta3/mapserv/" $FILES
sed --in-place -e "s/mapserv560beta3.fcgi/mapserv.fcgi/" $FILES
FILES=$(find . -name 'shp_*.jmx')
sed --in-place -e "s!cgi-bin/mapserv<!cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi<!" $FILES

Set LANG when running jmeter:
sed --in-place -e 's!$JMETER_HOME/jmeter!LANG=en_US jmeter!' benchmark

==== Testing ====

cd foss4g_benchmark/scripts

Mapserver/Shapefile FCGI:
./benchmark mapserver/vector/shp_areawater_merge.jmx

Mapserver/PostgreSQL FCGI:
./benchmark mapserver/vector/pg_fcgi_areawater_merge.jmx

Run all Mapserver tests:
sh mapservconf | tee mapservconf.log
grep -v "Generate" mapservconf.log | grep -v "Waiting"| grep -v "Starting" | grep -v "Created" | grep -v "Tidying" | grep -v "end of run" >mapservconf-summarized.log
