[Rattledagger]

Walkthrough (Apr 22 2008)

Back from a long weekend out of town. Didn't seem to miss very much. I checked the network graphs while I was away and saw no dips, so that's a pretty good sign things were generally healthy in my absence. There was another seemingly bogus disk failure on thumper. Is smartd being too sensitive? The drive tagged as potentially faulty was failed/re-added without much ado. Today had the usual outage. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

One funny thing - for an unspecified amount of time nobody on the Berkeley campus (outside of the space lab) was able to connect to our servers to receive/send SETI@home data. This was due to asymmetrical routing - a problem on our public facing servers that send data over our ISP (as opposed to via the campus LAN). Jeff found and fixed the problem and I updated the network scripts to make sure a reboot doesn't break it again.

Jeff just spent an hour or so walking me through the current nitpicker (i.e. the candidate-finder) code. This really is one of those simple concepts that requires a complex solution. I find it frustrating to describe why, as the reasons are hardly obvious, and the problems are nested. We used to do this stuff with our own human brains which can find patterns and detect duplicates and RFI quickly as long as the data fits on a couple pages. This isn't so much the case anymore, and getting the computers to smartly (and efficiently) do the same grouping, comparing, and discarding is difficult. Think of it this way: you have a bunch of friends and you realize two of them are single and, based on many different variables, perhaps quite compatible - so you set them up on a date. Easy, no? Now try to run a completely automated dating service trying to accurately pair up every single person on the planet with the best possible mate. Not as easy. In any case, I might start throwing random output from it on the science status page which is of anecdotal interest. Like extra info about where we're currently pointing and what we've seen there before. Check for that in the next day or so.

Thanks for the stats, Rattledagger! 😀

A somewhat slow day - due to the outage. Will probably be a lot more tomorrow!

 

[bryanW1995]

177k on a tuesday is very good considering that a month ago we didn't even average that on normal days 🙂

I think that I've finally got both the quads up and running. Interesting side note: I averaged about 1100ppd on my e6750 @ 425x8. I only have a couple of days' worth of info to compare, but it looks like I'm going to get a little over 5000ppd on my Q9450 which is also at 425x8. Ram was actually set a little bit faster on the e6750, too. Maybe that extra cache is worth something after all 🙂
