AMPS (Asynchronous Middleware for Parallel Systems)

It is well established that caching of frequently accessed information is the key to performance enhancement in busy servers. A protocol server may cache information such as resolved DNS records and mappings, user registration and service profile data from the database etc. The server application would look first in the cache before making a network or database hit for information. AMPS provided a generic caching facility to cache arbitrary type of objects in memory. The user could create a cache object of any desired size. The API provides cache look-up based on opaque keys and application defined comparison function. The internal data structure used to implement the cache is a binary heap, also well known as priority queue. We believe this mechanism can be put to good use to enhance performance and scalability by an order of magnitude under conditions of heavy load.
