  • Modeling and Analyzing Latency in the Memcached System
    Modeling and Analyzing Latency in the Memcached system Wenxue Cheng1, Fengyuan Ren1, Wanchun Jiang2, Tong Zhang1 1Tsinghua National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology, Beijing, China 1Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 2School of Information Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China March 27, 2017 abstract Memcached is a widely used in-memory caching solution in large-scale searching scenarios. The most pivotal performance metric in Memcached is latency, which is affected by various factors including the workload pattern, the service rate, the unbalanced load distribution and the cache miss ratio. To quantitate the impact of each factor on latency, we establish a theoretical model for the Memcached system. Specially, we formulate the unbalanced load distribution among Memcached servers by a set of probabilities, capture the burst and concurrent key arrivals at Memcached servers in form of batching blocks, and add a cache miss processing stage. Based on this model, algebraic derivations are conducted to estimate latency in Memcached. The latency estimation is validated by intensive experiments. Moreover, we obtain a quantitative understanding of how much improvement of latency performance can be achieved by optimizing each factor and provide several useful recommendations to optimal latency in Memcached. Keywords Memcached, Latency, Modeling, Quantitative Analysis 1 Introduction Memcached [1] has been adopted in many large-scale websites, including Facebook, LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Flickr, Twitter and Youtube. In Memcached, a web request will generate hundreds of Memcached keys that will be further processed in the memory of parallel Memcached servers. With this parallel in-memory processing method, Memcached can extensively speed up and scale up searching applications [2].

Focused on real- time operation, but supports scheduling as well. The execution units, called tasks, are executed concurrently on one or more worker nodes using multiprocessing, Eventlet or gevent. Tasks can execute asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously (wait until ready). Celery is used in production systems to process millions of tasks every hour. 3 Celery Documentation, Release 2.5.5 Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any language. It can also operate with other languages using webhooks. There’s also RCelery for the Ruby programming language, and a PHP client. The recommended message broker is RabbitMQ, but support for Redis, MongoDB, Beanstalk, Amazon SQS, CouchDB and databases (using SQLAlchemy or the Django ORM) is also available. Celery is easy to integrate with web frameworks, some of which even have integration packages: Django django-celery Pyramid pyramid_celery Pylons celery-pylons Flask flask-celery web2py web2py-celery 1.1.2 Overview This is a high level overview of the architecture.
