Tabbie Performance

[Deepak Jois]

Hi Klaas
I was about to embark on some performance testing for Tabbie, and I
wanted to get some inputs regarding that.

* Have you ever done any sort of benchmarking on the Silver Line
algorithm? What has your observation been with the tournaments you
have run it in.

* Do you see any concerns with Silverline taking a long time in a
Worlds tournament with 100 rooms. I am just wondering about the
possibilities of the browser timing out while waiting for the draw to
tabulate etc.

Hi,

First of all, I'll get back to you about the adjudication allocation tonight.

In terms of Silver Line (the part that does the debater allocation) I'm not too worried, it runs under a sec. The adjudicator allocation may need some more tuning, will let you know more about that in a while. I think the best thing to do is to do the actual test on your own laptop. Browser timeout's shouldn't be too much of a problem, but you can move the Apache/php execution time above 30 sec. if needed.

An alteranative aproach to increasing the php timeout is to work asynchronsly,
There is no reason why the browser should freeze while a long
operation is in progress,
The php page should be able to spawn a child process to do the calculation.
and return a page saying calculation is in progress.
you can have this page refresh itself automaticlly using meta-refresh to see
if results are in, or you can have an ajax aproach with a JS timer checking this
and thus avoiding the blinkning page affect.
