[Diabolical]

Zo.. nu is het weer eens mijn beurt..

Allereerst wil ik eventuele lezers nog even attenderen op dit topic: Sponsoractie 2008

Please read....!

Dan wil ik natuurlijk onze lijst met mijlpaalhalers feliciteren met de behaalde resultaten..
Searchy! Internet Services V.O.F. (5.000.000 flinke!), AmeComputers (250.000), Krispy (40.000), Seishin (10.000), Revel@tion (9.000), madmax (9.000), server (6.000), Dennis (5.000), Masticina Akicta (2.000), en Amplified (1.000). respect mensen



Wel even zelf uitgraven svp, ik heb last van mijn rug....

Verder is Hans vandebos onze flusher of the day met zijn stijging van 29 plaatsen in de daily. Goed werk Hans!

In de teams daily zakken wij 2 plaatsen. Dit stemt mij enigzins treurig.. kom... wie laat wat extra koetjes grazen van het malse Seti Gras?

Geniet in ieder geval van de DPC SETI@Home hitparade van 19 juni 2008

Als ik zo op de foto kijk, kan iedereen zelfs twee mijlpalen mee naar huis nemen!
Gefeliciteerd allemaal!

Ik zag dat er weer het een en ander aan tech nieuws te melden is. Leesvoer dus

17 Jun 2008 20:44:23 UTC
Ho hum weekend, which is good. The air conditioning people came up yesterday (Monday) and today to do follow-up inspection of our server closet system (which failed last week) and found a couple more leaks which have been repaired. We seem to really be pushing it beyond its limits. Had the usual database outage today. No big whoop there.

Somebody noted earlier that their results were getting validated surprisingly quickly. We didn't change anything. This may have been due to a longer-than-usual period this past weekend of fast workunits - the average turnaround time was roughly 10 hours (about 20%) shorter than normal, meaning pairs were getting matched up that much faster.

A lot of what's been going on the past couple of days has been post-vacation catchup (half the staff was out of town). While I have a zillion other things to do I discovered a couple ways to optimize the NTPCkr so I coded that up and I'm testing it now. Every little speedup on this front helps. Jeff's still working on the scoring part. We're getting there...

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.

We're still maintaining an assimilator queue, but it is indeed draining over time. Besides the nitpicker CPU consumption issues addressed yesterday, we're also doing several data transfers down to HPSS (our off-site storage) including a large science database backup, as well as several raw data files (we keep copies of all raw data down there). All these things - the backups, the raw data storage, the nitpicker, and the assimilation of new results - run on thumper (because that's where all the data are). So there's basic I/O contention at the moment.

Other than that I have nothing to report - I've been mostly occupied by bureaucratic/policy tasks for the past while. I was also annoyed to find somebody threw away my plastic fork, which I admit has been sitting used and unwashed on my desk for days, but nevertheless I came to work expecting to eat my lunch with it. The lab kitchen is oddly devoid of utensils. I did find a pile of aged wooden coffee stirrers, out of which I fashioned a pair of makeshift chopsticks.

There's a halo around the sun at the moment. Cool.

Ola grazende vrienden. Feli aan de mijlpaalhouders. Zeg DB, zijn dit nou de palen die je had geschuurd?

Kan mijn WU's even niet kwijt naar Berkeley, want Casema is aan het graven in mijn wijk... (Wel aangekondigd overigens)

Maar zo bouw ik het aantal WU's wel weer lekker op Op naar de 25K

naar TG!!

Waarom denk je dat ik het in mijn rug heb? Ik kan nu dus niets meer schaven en schuren....

Mijn output is de laatste tijd wat maar beneden gegaan. Mijn Quad core die voorheen 24/7 aanstaat, staat alleen aan wanneer ik echt zit te werken. Een andere PC core2 idem.
