A New Protocol For Faster Web Services?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pardon-my-skepticism dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Jonghun Park is an Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University. He says that a new protocol can improve Web services. Sandeep Junnarkar broke the story. "Jonghun Park proposed a method for sharing information between systems linked on the Internet promises to speed collaborative applications by up to 10 times the current rates. The protocol is based on an algorithm that lets it use parallel instead of serial methods to process requests. Such a method boosts the efficiency of how resources are shared over the Internet. The new protocol is called Order-based Deadlock Prevention Protocol with Parallel Requests." Check this column for some excerpts or read the CNET News.com article for more details. More information about Jonghun Park's works can be found at his homepage."

    WHICH SHUTTLE DISASTER LOOKED COOLER ON TV?

    Who needs "The Bachelorette" or "Joe Millionaire" when we can sit back
    with a steamed latte and watch seven humans streak through the sky like
    Haley's Comet?

    Still, the inevitable question for the history books is: Which Space
    Shuttle disaster looked cooler on television, the one in 1986 or today's
    flameout?

    The edge probably goes to the 1986 Challenger disaster because the
    close-ups were much crisper. You could practically imagine the horrific
    screams of unbridled terror from girl astronaut Dr. Sally Ride as she
    watched her space perm singe like a botched Martha Stewart recipe.

    Today's Columbia astronauts were a bit less media savvy since they chose
    a location two miles above the country bumpkin state of Texas to exact
    their suicide. The images of their demise were barely photogenic.
    Instead, all we get are blurry jet trails that look like they were
    hastily formed by a skywriter who just downed five espressos.

    How will America handle its collective Shuttle angst? Burger King will
    be asked to pull its "flame broiled" ads off the tube for a few days.
    And Cher will be instructed to cancel all her concerts since this diva's
    voice will remind anyone listening of the final shrieks an astronaut
    makes just before the after burner produces a new snack food: NASA
    Crisps.

    Talk about Shuttle Diplomacy blowing up in Bush's face. This bird
    dropping occurs on a mission that includes a Jewish scientist from
    Israel. The Chosen People have more to fear from U.S. aeronautical
    lubricity than Yassar Arafat.

    Before NASA scrubs all future missions, the agency needs to find a way
    to "turn the frown upside down" through a masterful stroke of public
    relations genius.

    Our solution: Hire Neil Sedaka as official NASA spokesperson.

    After all, his signature song is: "Breaking Up is Hard to Do."

    From the article:
    Web services is currently held up--in my opinion--by things like security and reliability.

    So what he's saying is that secure and reliable systems are slowing down the web??

    Ever seen an ISS server, dude? Not secure and not reliable! Oh yeah... that's why Internet Explorer/ISS combos as so fast. So I guess he's right after all... sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Yay! - Even more bandwidth for advertisers to clog up with free drug adverts and cheap penis enlargers.
