Fresh Air (Jul 07 2008)

Rather dull holiday weekend except for the fact I was up in Oregon and remotely dealing with several server issues hidden from the public - nothing really newsworthy. Various previously mentioned projects are continuing along: I'm installing an OS on ptolemy in the hopes we can flash upgrade the current RAID cards' software and see if that helps, otherwise we're buying new cards that we *know* work. I might do a bit of physical server shuffling during the weekly outage tomorrow - get some of the newer stuff into the closet - maybe.

Looks like the big "scoring meeting" is also tomorrow where we will try to settle on our candidate scoring algorithms. Basically we need to pool together our scoring techniques from previous reobservation runs and apply it to the nitpicker which, unlike all prior data analysis, runs and updates in real time as signals flow in. It was easier before, at least in the candidate analysis I've done. You'd turn the crank, look at the results, adjust some variables and turn the crank again. Not so easy to be as casual and change algorithms when the crank is turning 24/7 and a million signals are added every day.

Oh yeah - back to the "ALFA running" problem on the science status page. Turns out we need to recompile our program that peeks at the observatory status broadcasts for our own status pages. This hasn't been recompiled in ages, and much has changed in the meantime. An added compilation is that this running on a Solaris machine down in Puerto Rico making recompiling old, stale code a challenge. Jeff is tackling that.

Thanks for the SETI@home daily User-stats, Team-stats & Tech News Rattledagger! :beer:

 

[Assimilator1]

Good day for the team .

025_____057______1.642________381.830_____Assimilator1 - Team AnandTech

Low numbers for me though, even though I've increased output .

 

[Alyx]

Thanks for the stats! I should start pushing decent numbers. Since I've got a bunch of machines only for the next month or so I joined Seti and then will rejoin TAS once i loose access to these machines. Hopefully it'll bring the most help here.

I've added 35ish Pentium D machines and also rolled out the SSE3 optimized apps. I'm super interested to see what the PPD is on these, I'm expecting just under 1k each.

Oh and what is with the Pending units for Seti, I thought they only needed one result per unit and not a quorum. Just before the weekly down time I had 45k pending, I don't remember this from last time I was doing SETI, maybe that was a mistake?

SETI@home has always needed atleast 2 results/wu for validation. Due to various turnaround-times of "wingman" and so on, it's AFAIK normal to have pendings around 4x computers daily production.

35!:Q ,I noticed your output was shooting up & that you were closing in on me & Wiz! .
