Abstract
A method for evaluating several aspects of the performance of object oriented middleware is introduced. Latency, data transfer, parameter marshalling and scalability are considered. A portable benchmark toolkit has been developed to implement the method. A number of actual middleware products have been measured, such as C++ and Java based CORBA implementations, DCOM and Java/RMI. The measurements are evaluated and related to each other.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
