Technical News and SETI@home daily stats for 28.03.2007.

[Rattledagger]

Usual database backup outage today except we took some extra time to do a couple things. First, we powered sidious down and back up to measure its current draw. Peaks at about 8 amps during drive spin-up. Then Bob and I did a bunch of tests, comparing table sizes and sums/averages of selected fields to confirm the replica is indeed in sync with the master BOINC database. Looks good.

Upon coming back up I eventually noticed most of the file uploads were timing out on bruno. Jeff and I battled with this for a bit. We followed several red herrings and tuned various apache/tcp parameters but eventually the solution was cleaning up some nested sym links that contained a mount that fell away sometime recently. We think. Anyway, we cleaned up these links and that immediately fixed the problem. During all that kryten was working fine. It is still getting hit by a small but significant number of BOINC clients, probably due to libcurl DNS caching within the client - something we should probably fix sooner or later. By the way, this might have also been why the validator queue has been growing over the past day or so. That emptied immediately, too, though that forced a backlog in the deleter queues. I had to kick those just now to pick up the new sym link as well.

Backing up the science database today and will make changes tomorrow. Will test the changes (re: the splitter, assimilator, and validator) on kryten before implementing on bruno (later in the week or next week).

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

Thanx RD!

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Thx for info & stats Rattle! :beer:

 

[petrusbroder]

Thank you, Rattledagger!

 

[Assimilator1]

Thanks RD

Starfire seem to be holding steady at just under 200 days........

 

[panhead49]

thanks RD........

Why is it ..we can't get away from ..or stay ahead of BBR!!! they are always at our heals....(wish we could recruit thousands of cruncher's to join and kick a$$) LIKE BEFORE... well,, looks like we added some more people with the recruitment threads...

 

[Assimilator1]

They seem to have 2 teams for some strange reason
We don't have the same firepower we did under SETI classic ,people have spread around the various projects.

But yes we gained some new members
