Comparison of Lightweight Web Servers

Comparison Of Lightweight Web Servers

Lightweight web servers are web servers which have been designed to run with very small resource overhead because of hardware, environment, or simply for the challenge of it.

Many of these servers have been created as a mental exercise to determine if a modern webserver could be written to run on limited resources such as those provided in a graphing calculator, a Commodore 64, or in 64 kB (64 KiB) total of memory. Others have been written as commercial or open source endeavors to create webservers with low overhead for embedded systems (network router configuration pages) or low memory requirements.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison of, comparison and/or web:

    But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.
    Irving Kristol (b. 1920)

    But pale despair and cold tranquillity,
    Nature’s vast frame, the web of human things,
    Birth and the grave, that are not as they were.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
