Sourcefinder We're now ready for Production!

[Newshound]

Yup, the day has come. Sourcefinder is finally moving from testing to production!


Most of the bugs and issues we've been having during testing have been ironed out to a level that I'm happy with.

All testing work units have been cancelled, and all work units and results have been archived.

We're now going to begin to crunch actual data, 681GB of it!

27G cubelets_1
27G cubelets_2
27G cubelets_3
27G cubelets_4
27G cubelets_5
27G cubelets_6

27G cubelets_22
27G cubelets_23
27G cubelets_24
27G cubelets_25
8.6G cubelets_26
681G total

We're starting with cubelet sets 1 to 4.



A few other notes:


I've added a new process to the server to archive work unit and result data older than 2 weeks, so you wont be able to see any of that archived data on the website.



Any credits earned during testing will remain during production.



All production work units will be registered under run 10.



The limit on the number of work units sent to a single host will be increased. I'm planning on modifying the max work unit configuration from:

1
2
4
to

8
3
16

This should mean up to 16 CPUS on each machine will be used, and each user will be able to have up to 3 work units per CPU at any one time. This means the maximum number of WUs that a client can be running at any one time is now 48; just make sure you can crunch them all in time!

Additionally, each scheduler request cycle will provide up to 8 work units.

These numbers are tentative as well, if there are any issues or recommendations, I'm more than happy to change them.



A few future things:



I plan on finally updating theSkyNet website to accurately reflect the current state of the Sourcefinder project.



I'll be reporting the project stats each week, for those who are interested.



I'll definitely be pushing work units out every Wednesday, and sometimes on other days of the week if I get time.



My main focus from now on is fixing the issues with theSkyNet website, as it's been running on life support for miles too long.





Thank you everyone who has helped out with the Sourcefinder project so far, we greatly appreciate the work you've all done. It's because of all of you that this project was able to eventually reach production :).
