Technical News, and SETI@home daily stats for 20.04.2007.

[Rattledagger]

Spent the morning ramping myself up on using subversion instead of cvs. That's the way BOINC is going, and therefore SETI is getting pulled along into it as well. Fair enough.

The BOINC backend is a bit backed up in general. I think it's a combination of a few things - recovering from the recent "partial" outage where bruno was dropping a subset of connections for many hours, the general increase in splitter/validator demand due to the quorum changes, and catching up from the assimilators being off for a day to build an index on the Guassian table. We'll see how it goes. In the meantime I fired up an extra splitter on kryten to hopefully prevent running out of work to send out.

There are still a fair number of hits on kryten's secondary upload/download server despite the DNS switch over a month ago. We're talking about 1-2 hits per second (as opposed to 20-30 per second on bruno). I think next week we'll shut it down no matter what, as the new gigabit switch came in the mail today. This will allow us to move bruno into the closet and therefore have fast access to the workunit filesystem and therefore we can move the remaining BOINC server processes off of kryten and perhaps push that aged system into retirement. No timeframe on that yet.

I just tried getting this switch on the network (has web-based remote management). It can only get its IP address via DHCP upon installation. Of course, it's not finding our lab-wide DHCP server which I have no control over (nor am I allowed to start my own, for security reasons). Sigh. We'll get that sorted out at some point. It probably is some rogue DHCP server on the network messing things up (people bring their Linksys switches in from home and think they're being so clever).

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

Thx RD

Btw any idea what % of the team is active?

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the numbers, Rattledagger!

 

[Zim Hosein]

Thanks for the SETI@home daily stats & tech news Rattledagger! :beer:

165 of 620 is active, meaning... 26,6%

 

[Assimilator1]

That's not too bad actually! ,I thought it'd be much lower after the exodus when SETI classic ended.IIRC TA R@H has about 33% active.

In which case it makes no sense why their is so little SETI 'chatter' these days
