Nirvana for Mice (Jun 12 2007)

Despite our efforts yesterday, BOINC database problems continue. So Jeff and I definitively decided to upgrade jocelyn as much as we could today to become the new master database again. Just a matter of replacing CPU's and adding memory, no?

Well, no. A lot of machines in our rack, for one reason or another, aren't actually racked up but simply placed flat on the server below it. So sitting on top of jocelyn is its 3510 fibre channel disk array. And sitting on top of that is lando (computer server). And sitting on top of that is a monitor/keyboard/mouse hooked up to a KVM switch. So.. we had to move all stuff out of the way first. Kevin had an IDL process running on lando which we had to wait two hours to complete (if we killed it, he would have lots two weeks of work). Then we safely powered everything off and carefully upgraded the various parts of the system. In short, jocelyn used to have two 844s (1.8 GHz opteron processors) but now have four 848s (2.2 GHz opterons). We also bumped up the RAM from 16 GB to 28 GB with memory from various recent donations we couldn't use elsewhere until now.

Hopefully replication will catch up tomorrow and we can swap the relationship of the master/replica databases and that'll generally improve the efficiency of our whole system. Until then...

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind
