Performance evaluation of TPC-H queries on Java EE cluster

Java Enterprise Edition or Java EE is one of the popular development platforms used for web applications and web services. In addition, critical business applications usually deploy a Java EE cluster for enhancing service performance and availability since the application workload has been increasing recently. This paper proposes a model to evaluate the performance of a Java EE cluster based on the characteristics of the TPC-H queries which are widely used for evaluating the performance of several databases. Each TPC-H query is characterized by the number of tables accessed, and its response time which is used as a guideline for balancing the workload on the Java EE cluster. The experimental results show that the proposed model gives better throughput than that of the typical Round Robin.
