Mika's OGR page shows a HUGE spike

What the *ell!!!

OGR stats by e-mail address

TA Cube (da' BORG) have dumped 9.3 Exa-nodes worth of OGR to the team proxy. Wow. I hope it isn't just a statistical error, because that is HUGE.

Mika, do you know if this is true???????
 
JonB - Not likely 🙂

If it is true, then we most definitely have first place over slash dot 🙂

I think 9 E nodes would be 9,000,000 T nodes. Probably take a few thousand years to produce that much 🙂
 
If I remember correctly, the pre-463 clients produced some outrageous nodecounts in certain situations. It was probably one of those.
 
But, Mika's proxy should have discarded any OGR done by that version or earlier. It will be interesting to find out what the deal is.
 
Well, it looks like DanC got his labs working, but forgot the all-important RC5,OGR=0 line! 😉

I think the pproxies were fixed to deny fetching from them by older clients... I don't know about flushing to. This could be a client that was set to do RC5 and fetched OGR stubs a long time ago. Somehow it recently ran out of RC5 blocks, and finally did the OGR stubs it had in its buffers from months ago. That's what I think, at least.
 
Just from looking at the full detail page, we can see that it was done by an 8010 Win32 client... which is really, really odd. 🙁

Previously, when I had to cull through all those days of bad log files (way back at the start of OGR-24), it was always an 8007 client that reported the outrageous node counts.

Well, my curiosity is certainly going now.... If Mika can send me the log file, then Thunder, P.I. <-that's pProxy Investigator 😉 is on the case. Mika? 🙂

Well, I had a few clients that had some old buffers and whenever they flushed, the proxy would discard the blocks as they came in. I don't know if the stats run acknowledged that, though.
 
Maybe it's a glitch in the ppstats script.
I've seen things like this on other proxies too, they were also running ppstats.
 
I just checked the Dnet's OGR proxy listing and 3 of the proxys are doing 2000 times the normal amount of nodes. I think it is time to e-mail cyrus, we may have just invalidated all the OGR results.

Maybe you should change the title to Russ, You got some explaining to do
 
There's a fourth OGR (one of the European ones) pproxy starting to show a big spike.

Looks like there is a big problem. Or, the real BORG have landed and are pissed.
 
Or some hacker's figured out a way to hack the work units like in RC5, and is doing a Phantom Flusher dumpage to screw up the contest. 🙁
 
Yep, I guess the REAL Borg have landed. ???

And, hey, this maple leaf flag waver is now in the top 10. 😉 Too bad it meant LOSING about 100 Tnodes from my total. 😕

It looks like the data is only valid (excluding TACube) for the past week. Well, if this is the only way I can get ahead of JonB, I guess I'll have to enjoy it for these next few hours until it's fixed...
 
Well, we decided that Team AnandTech should send a message to the rest of the world. Yeah, right.

Actually, HOLY CRAP! Can somebody explain to me, in layman's terms, what that mess means? The way I read it, it says that TA Cube did all the (nodes?) and everyone else did zero. This has got to be some HUGE glitch.

Well, looking up the IP that submitted the nodes, it traces to:

Pacific Information Exchange
55 Merchant Street Court Ste 1550
Honolulu, HI 96813
USA

And their upstream provider is GTE.

Russ, NCNE
 
Pacific Information Exchange is an ISP in Hawaii.

Here are some Tech Support names. Any sound familiar????

Jason Black - Senior Technical Support Specialist
Jesse Andow - Technical Support Specialist
Skye Correa - Technical Support Specialist
Jason Economou - Technical Support Specialist
Earl Thompson - Technical Support Specialist

Oh, I have no doubt that it is NOT legit. The question is just whether it is a new crack client or a bug in one of the regular clients...

JHutch
 
Well, whatever it is, it looks like it has stopped sending to Mika's for the borg. Looks like nothing for the past 15 hours. If it's a bug, it's one hell of a bug. If it was a trojan, I would figure that output would continue.

-Mike
 
Anyone do the math? - If you look at the bottom of the page it is crediting TACube with the entire total. Definitely a glitch.

Unless of course, I unleashed an unholy OGR terror on the world... BUAHAHAHAHAA
 
Well, if I am figuring this correctly......which somebody better try and verify this

It looks to me like to get those kind of numbers in a 24 hour period, you would need to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,599,500 mhz of P6 core.

Anybody care to try and verify....I don't know whether I did this right or not.

If I did and Dan, if you can come up with that kind of power.........Why the hell didn't you just throw it at RC5 and put the DPC in the place. 😀

-Mike
 
I seriously hope that's a trojan. If it's a client bug, it'll be a much worse(as in a possible OGR cripling) problem.🙁

PS I blame the Borg, their massive numbers allways cause problems 😉
 
Well, just so no one gets their shorts overly in a bind...

Keep in mind that the 8007 clients were actually doing legitimate work and it was only a rare situation in which buffers were shared among some relatively unusual OS's (I think solaris was one of them) was the actual work performed illegitimate. The only real problem in all the other clients was related to a bug in the REPORTING of the work that was done, not the actual results that the stub produced.

Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume that this is only a problem with the STATS of the project and not the work itself.

-Brian
 
Upon further investigation, it appears that we do have a regular contributor in TA Cube from that IP address flushing to Mika's in RC5. About 600 blocks a day average.
