Servers

The full benchmark requires at least three computers:

• app server: The computer that your framework will be launched on.
• load server: The computer that will generate client load. Also known as the client machine.
• database server: The computer that runs all the databases. Also known as the DB server.

This codebase (TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks aka TFB) must be run on the app server. The codebase contains a number of framework directories, each of which contains one or more framework test implementations. While our current setup has many directories, we are working to consolidate related code into fewer directories
with more tests per directory.

When run, TFB will: select which framework tests are to be run based on command-line arguments you provide install the necessary software (both on the app server and other servers) launch the framework access the urls listed in the requirements and verify the responses launch the load generation software on the load server gather the results * halt the framework
