#1 Sourcefinder SoFiA Production Update 7
So the SoFiA devs managed to work out a fix to those extremely large memory requirements I mentioned last week, and I've been able to drop the VM memory requirements down to 2GB per VM. I know that's still a lot more than they were before, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to drop them any less without hitting some huge performance decreases (due to disk swapping).
The VM has been updated with this new version of SoFiA, and I've spend some extra time compacting it as far as possible. I managed to get the VM size below 500MB compressed!
The workunits from last week didn't release properly due to an issue with the workunit generator that I couldn't get around to fixing until now, but the test WUs should be flowing as I write. I'm interested to see how the system handles them.
