CPU Requirements

• A single CPU system is more than enough for a standalone web server:

  • One 200 MHz CPU can do ~400 ops/s
  • One 300 MHz CPU can do ~1000 ops/s

• CGI scripts will use lots of cycles

• More/faster CPUs may be needed for:

  • CGI, SSI, Servlets, SSL, Search Engines, ftp, dynamic content, audio feeds, database, etc.
