<h1>Moxi by NorthScale</h1>


<a name="moxi"><h2>moxi</h2></a>

<p>Moxi is a memcached proxy with several features
which can help
keep the memcached contract whole in complicated environments. It
brings several optimizations to memcached deployments without
requiring any changes to the application software using memcached.</p>

<p>For instance, moxi has:<br/>
<ul><li>A "get" deduplication optimization allowing many requests
from one proxy to turn into a single <i>downstream</i> request</li>
<li>A multiget optimization which coalesces and multigets requests
from multiple threads/processes on a client to memcached servers</li>
<li>A 'front cache' which allows for a small (non-coherent) cache,
designed to either cache all items or configure particular items to
cache by key prefix</li>
<li>Optimizations to help keep latencies low from the perspective
of the client when running in variable
networks, as found in <i>cloud computing</i> environments
</ul></p>

<p>We at NorthScale of course have a variety of other ideas on where
we may be able to take moxi and memcached, since we've long been users
and helped many others make use of Open Source memcached in their
applications. In releasing moxi as Open Source, we hope to have
others join in using or defining these features. Join us on the
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/moxi">discussion group</a>

<h3>Download</h3>
<!-- p>
You can download this project in either
<a href="http://github.com/northscale/moxi/zipball/master">zip</a> or

</p -->
<p>You can clone the project with <a href="http://git-scm.com">git</a>
by running:
<pre>$ git clone git://github.com/northscale/moxi</pre>
</p>


<p>There are several dependencies to be noted if you're building
from source. They are either
bundled or should generally be available in most OS distributions.</p>

<p><ul>
<li><a href="http://tangent.org">libmemcached</a> (specific
version, statically linked and bundled)</li>
<li><a href="http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/">libevent</a>,
a portable event notification layer for socket/file descriptor
events on UNIX like systems
<li><a href="http://check.sourceforge.net">check</a>, a C unit test
framework (needed only for testing, we're fans of test driven
design)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>For more information on depedencies and building, see the project
<a href="http://wiki.github.com/northscale/moxi">wiki</a>. If you
have questions, please join our
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/moxi">discussion group</a>
to ask!</p>

<h3>Installation</h3>
<p>Packages will shortly be available for the most common platforms,
and that is the preferred method of installation. Otherwise, the
source is automake/autconf based and should build on most UNIX and
GNU/Linux systems.</p>
