Paper: Scalability Design Patterns

I have introduced pattern languages in my earlier post on The Pattern Bible for Distributed Computing.

Achieving highest possible scalability is a complex combination of many factors. This PLoP 2007 paper presents a pattern language that can be used to make a system highly scalable.

The Scalability Pattern Language introduced by Kanwardeep Singh Ahluwalia includes patterns to:

  • Introduce Scalability

  • Optimize Algorithm

  • Add Hardware

  • Add Parallelism
    • Add Intra-Process Parallelism
    • Add Inter-Porcess Parallelism
    • Add Hybrid Parallelism

  • Optimize Decentralization

  • Control Shared Resources

  • Automate Scalability
