New SETI@home for BOINC database-setup.

[Rattledagger]

Saw a new task have now been added to the Taskbase, #1478: "Implement Opteron mysql db for BOINC".
There's no time-line, and no mentioning if got the hardware yet or not, and neither if a problem with linux have been solved... But anyway, the new database-setup seems to be this:

New server: Sun V40 Opteron:
CPU: 2x Opteron 844. (1.8 GHz, max 4 cpu's)
RAM: 8 GB. (max 8 GB/cpu)
Internal Disk: ? (not listed, max 6 scsi-disks)
External Disk: 3510 RAID-array, 10k or 15k SCSI-disks; max 876 GB unconfigured if 15k or 1.72 TB if 10k. (unknown of disk-setup used by seti)

Software:
OS: Linux 64 bit RH 9(?)
Mysql: Rel 4.0.22 64bit for Opteron/Linux (perhaps 4.1.x may be used in Jan 05)

Replication database-server:
koloth, connected to D1000 - 10k SCSI-disks having only software-based RAID, max 436 GB.
According to the SETI@home status-page, koloth is a Sun D220R (2 x 440MHz Sparc, 1 GB RAM) and is atleast for the moment running the file_deleter.


Currently the SETI@home for BOINC database is apparently 70 GB, so will take some time to configure new server...

BTW, the current database-setup is using software-RAID, so hopefully getting a new, fast server & accompanying hardware-raid will be fast enough to handle 500k more users so can kill-off "classic".

Ah, that has been said many times before. There have been many times when we thought the end was imminent but it hasn't happened yet. At your current rate you've got less than half a year to go. I wouldn't be surprised if you make it
