Abstract


Technology develops very fast marked by many innovations both from hardware and software. Multicore servers with a growing number of cores require efficient software. Kernel and Hardware used to handle various operational needs have some limitations. This limitation is due to the high level of complexity especially in handling as a server such as single socket discriptor, single IRQ and lack of pooling so that it requires some modifications. The Kernel Bypass is one of the methods to overcome the deficiencies of the kernel. Modifications on this server are a combination increase throughput and decrease server latency. Modifications at the driver level with hashing rx signal and multiple receives modification with multiple ip receivers, multiple thread receivers and multiple port listener used to increase throughput. Modifications using pooling principles at either the kernel level or the program level are used to decrease the latency. This combination of modifications makes the server more reliable with an average throughput increase of 250.44% and a decrease in latency 65.83%.
