Re: UK

The two painfully-slow servers are up and running (one's a twin single-core, the other a twin dual-core).

Server #9 of the cluster is up and running, just one left to do and then not much left to do before the platform can be let loose (although I will have the "fun" of configuring all of the resulting VMs to do BOINC)!

Re: UK

@Thargor Thanks for the update - that's good news. biggrin

IMHO its additional runtime that we need at the moment. We're making steady progress in the Points and Results rankings but progress in the Runtime rankings is painfully slow. My theory for this is that some of the newer WGC projects are skewed to generate results/award points disproportionately in comparison to the earlier projects as this extract would appear to indicate:

                               	FAAH  	        HCC	        CFCW
Run Time Per Result (y:d:h:m:s)	0:000:08:25:07	0:000:02:55:33	0:000:03:28:28
Points Per Result	        613.53	        293.04	        435.88
Points Per Hour of Run Time	72.88	        100.16	        125.45

Re: UK

Server #10 is now built and added to the cluster!

Am waiting on someone else to do their bit (shared storage configuration), and then hopefully I'll be able to get started with VM creation and setup!

However, I have now been told this is going to be a shared dev-platform for my team, along with a confirmed-working collection of spares for the live servers we run, so I may not get to use all of the 78 cores and 112GB of RAM, but we'll see...

Re: UK

Following on from the previous message, it looks like I'm not going to be able to use anywhere near the amount of resources in this cluster that I'd hoped - maybe 3 servers (8 cores each), at the absolute maximum! sad

I guess I'll be building my beast-machine at home, after all...

Re: UK

@ Thargor Anything is better than nothing and 24 cores is still going to make an impact! smile

Re: UK

VM #1 (8-core 2.33GHz Xeon) is operational and crunching...

It's in default mode for now, until I find out how many of these I can sensibly run. So, that's all workunits except CEP2 with no cached workunits (download as needed).

EDIT: oops, dropped it to 75% power, as it caused an alert to get sent out for the CPU-load it was using...

Re: UK

Will see about adding VMs #2 and #3 tomorrow, when I can more easily fine-tune their performance so they don't generate any alerts for the platform...
