Benchmarking and performance tuning for concurrent transaction processing in JBoss application server / Khairul Anuar Mohd Salleh

The research is intent on finding a benchmark for one type of application server to process concurrent transaction processing (especially financial type of transaction services) and its performance. By comparing to the initial performance, it is exclusively have been performed a tuning to this same server in order to increase the performance of the concurrent transaction processing. From the performance tuning, a new benchmark of the application server with its limit is discovered. The tuning process is gone through a lot of testing and considerations in order to find the best tuning without affecting other types of performance. JBoss application server is the type of the server used in this project which running a financial service application that have a capability on executing some financial transactions. The tuning is intended to apply within the application server only without changing any component of the financial service application. From the finding of the performance tuning, it gives an opportunities and directions on how to upgrade the application server system for supporting high volume of concurrent transaction processing in single application server.
