Java NIO Based Server

Java NIO based server implementation backed by a configurable thread pool implemented from the ground up. The thread pool is capable of handling incoming network connections, processing traffic and sending out data. This implementation is extensible such that a custom message processing logic can be plugged-in. This implementation was tested upto 200 concurrent users with a thread-pool with 5 worker threads.

How to compile

• Running make or make all will compile the source code.
• 'make clean' will remove the compiled classes and temporary files.

Running

• To run the server;
  java cs455.scale.server.Server <port_number> <thread_pool_size>

  E.g.: java cs455.scale.server.Server 7077 5

  This will start up the server and prints the host address and port it's bound to.

• To run the client; java cs455.scale.client.Client <server_host> <server_port> <message_rate>

  E.g.: java cs455.scale.client.Client st-vrain 7077 4

Notes

** When selecting the thread pool size the number of hardware threads available in the physical machine should be taken into consideration.
