Re^2: Help On Perl - Multi Threading

Hello BU

Thanks for the Explanation.

i will abstarct out my project here.

SuperVault is a complete backup restore and disaster recovery solution. The solution is being implemented as a client server environment where in the client is the front end which is known as back up engine and the server is the back end which is made of a scalable distributed data storage system.


I deal with Test Harness of this product.Test Harness (TH) is a suite of tools (That is Customized)that helps us to perform functionality and performance testing on Super Vault solution. The suite helps the user to perform the following activities.

1) Creating test cases
2) Managing test cases
3) Managing test case collections
4) Executing test case collections
5) Generating test execution reports

Till now ,We are doing synchronous data transfer for sending and receiving acknowledgments for each block being sent.

But We need to have buffered asynchronous mode data transfer from now onwards.

But We need to have buffered asynchronous mode data transfer from now onwards.

Everthing you wrote prior to that line was 'sales pitch'. It tells us nothing about what help you need.

• But We need to have: Why? What are you hoping to gain?
• buffered: Buffered where? (At the client; at the server; both?) Buffered why? (To reduce communications bandwidth? To coalesce adjacent transmissions?
• asynchronous mode: "mode"?
• asynchronous ... data transfer: Why? What are you hoping to achieve?
  • Increase throughput?
  • Reduce server latency?
  • Improve client responses?
  • Speed up your testing cycles?
  • Saturation test your servers without requiring dozens of physical test clients?
  • Allow you to add the "asynchronous" keyword to your adverts so as to stack up better against your commercial rivals?
  • Avoid having to employ more testers?

Unless you can answer the questions above without asking your manager or mentor, you are probably the wrong person to be tackling the project.

And is that from now onwards, the now when you posted; or the now when I read it? :)

On a more serious note. If you are under pressure to try and complete this by some prescribed deadline, despite that you do not yet have a good idea how you are going to so, then you should seriously consider taking the project back to your management and telling them to ...
