Less Bits (Jun 18 2008)

The assimilator queue grew again. The main culprit this time was the NTPCkr - from here on out I'll simply refer to it as the nitpicker - as a reminder this is the program that is pretty much the culmination of all our SETI@home data collection and analysis, i.e. it's the thing that'll find the aliens if they exist. All other analyses so far using SETI@home data were cursory by comparison.

Anyway.. we're finding every so often that we have "deep" pixels containing tens of thousands of multiplets, each containing thousands of signals. When my "science status page updater" hits one of these it hangs on for quite a long time, causing a heavy CPU load on the database server as it tries to wade through this flood of signals gathering statistics. My optimizations (mentioned earlier in the week) helped, but not enough. We may devise/implement more. In any case, the heavy nitpicker load made the assimilators slow down. We killed those particular processes and I think we're catching up again. Slowly.

So the donation processing suite had been choked for a couple weeks and nobody noticed. This was caused by a suddenly (and silently) more stringent firewall, and masked by several things. We've been getting the donations, just no confirmations. So there's quite a few missing green stars I imagine. Not exactly sure what to do about that just yet.
