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
