Performance analysis of distributed client-server message queuing

Abstract

Queuing is an efficient programming paradigm for centralized and distributed systems. It enables multiple programs to share and control the flow of data and work objects, and to establish transparent and asynchronous communication among non-coherent software products, platforms or applications. This paper presents the performance analysis and specifications of a reliable, distributed and high performance queuing facility, which is capable of delivering thousands of enqueue and dequeue operations per second on local or distributed systems.
