Performance Evaluation and Optimization for Android-Based Web Server

Nowadays, the WEB server is mainly deployed by Internet Information Server, Apache and Nginx. These servers are running on the computer platform and they have been quite mature in the operating system such as Windows and Linux. With the mobile Internet changing our life and mobile device hardware being improved, Android platform is required to be equipped with web server to provide web services for shops, restaurant or other customer visiting places. As the performance of Android platform is different from traditional computers, we firstly analyze the concurrent performance of lightweight web servers with Nginx, PHP and MySQL on Android. By the exploratory testing method and observing the change of server performance through the test results, we modify the server's configuration parameters and obtains the best performance of server under Android system.
