“…In the work by Spink et al [14], a set of real queries of Web users is categorized into 11 different topics. Moreover, the variations in the percentage of queries for each topic are analyzed in three different years: 2001, 1999 and 1997.…”

Abstract.We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of resources. We analyse the effectiveness of a distributed, replicated and clustered architecture using a variable number of workstations. A collection of approximately 94 million documents and 1 terabyte of text is used to test the performance of the different architectures. We show that in a purely distributed architecture, the brokers become the bottleneck due to the high number of local answer sets to be sorted. In a replicated system, the network is the bottleneck due to the high number of query servers and the continuous data interchange with the brokers. Finally, we demonstrate that a clustered system will outperform a replicated system if a large number of query servers is used, mainly due to the reduction of the network load.

Reliable performance evaluations require the use of representative workloads. This is no easy task since modern computer systems and their workloads are complex, with many interrelated attributes and complicated structures. Experts often use sophisticated mathematics to analyze and describe workload models, making these models difficult for practitioners to grasp. This book aims to close this gap by emphasizing the intuition and the reasoning behind the definitions and derivations related to the workload models. It provides numerous examples from real production systems, with hundreds of graphs. Using this book, readers will be able to analyze collected workload data and clean it if necessary, derive statistical models that include skewed marginal distributions and correlations, and consider the need for generative models and feedback from the system. The descriptive statistics techniques covered are also useful for other domains.
