I am pleased to publicly announce a partnership with Christian Tismer of Stackless Python to co-develop a high performance internet server framework. The server will be presented at the Euro-Python 2004 in June.&
The project has created a reusable high performance server framework using Stackless Python. The server framework allows high performance servers to be written by simply defining the message protocol in Python. The first server in development provides presence services (instant messaging and chat) optimized for communication with Macromedia Flash called PowerSDK SYNC.
The server design is unique in that it utilizes a light thread model called tasklets. Tasklets provide a single thread in under 800 bytes of memory which operates independent of the C stack. Under this model the server can easily manage 1,000-100,000 tasklets processing data in parallel. Testing shows the servers are materially faster and more scalable than any server in the marketplace. Combined with clustering, the servers provide ample support for any scale project.
In the coming weeks we will be announcing a beta test of the SYNC Flash Client SDK. The toolset will allow developers to create Flash clients that work against a public SYNC server.
Cheers,
Ted ;)
