[http://code.google.com/p/ncache/](http://code.google.com/p/ncache/) What is ncache? a web cache system base on nginx web server. faster and more efficient than squid. we have published a release version 1.2[http://ncache.googlecode.com/files/ncache-1.2.tar.gz](http://ncache.googlecode.com/files/ncache-1.2.tar.gz)now, you can see the change log here [http://code.google.com/p/ncache/wiki/NCacheChangeLog](http://code.google.com/p/ncache/wiki/NCacheChangeLog). and we will maintain it be fresh. you can also visit here by [http://www.ncache.org](http://www.ncache.org) or [http://ncache.googlecode.com](http://ncache.googlecode.com) and left your message here [http://groups.google.com/group/ncache-group](http://groups.google.com/group/ncache-group) there is also have some BUGS, so if you find it please tell us, thanks alot. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Features - The large storage can save over 30,000,000 caches - The self sort share memory hash index - Use linux epoll, sendfile and aio to improve the performance - Base on the fastest web server framework : nginx - The high throughput and high concurrent volume of the cache request - Without http headers cache - Low cpu cost and low iowait Future - The aio\_sendfile function - Compress share memory hashmap index - Memory cache the hottest data - Raw device read and write - Distribute storage system - Aio queue with lio\_listio function How to use? You can see it on the wiki paper here[http://code.google.com/p/ncache/wiki/HowToUseNCache](http://code.google.com/p/ncache/wiki/HowToUseNCache). Problem yet~ - The memory cache elimination algorithm is not very mature so we will add this function at next version. - only support on linux 2.6 up. - do not have enough information about the Run-time statistics ---
