Windows waits after closing a socket (to eon & others) before opening a new one. Due to the short job time with EON, we trip over both the server AND MOSTLY the client OS... not the client.

Hello, just because of change of email address, the other going to be deleted ^^

[em99010pepe]

antarax,

Do you usually go to see the "24 Heures du Mans"?

Carlos

[antarax]

yes I'm going to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and also testing

I am not very far from the circuit

[em99010pepe]

Testing?

[antarax]

yes before the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 2 evenings ago for tests on Wednesday, and Friday and I look at it is testing

Is this the end of EoN as we now know it. Or is this just a hardware failure Anyone?

I guess no one knows what is going on with EoN

[LAURENU2]

EoN is Back going at full speed

[Chuck]

Yep, caught it and got a few hundred up there already.... saw it about 2 hours ago.... not sure what today's stats will be.... also only have two machines flipped over from D.net.... Need to be graceful. Tomorrow things will be full speed and the queues will be full! SOMEONE is hogging the WU's


It's time!!!!

I did what they said
But I am not sure it worked
I set it for 4 started it . I did not see any windows or CPU usage, However I did check Task-manager and I did see 4 client.exe's running.
I got worried they would do nothing so I went back to the old way

Is this the way it works or was something wrong

Did you install it in a new directory are an used one?
I usually start as many clients as I have core's in my computer (that's 2) and the proxybuffer for about 15 minutes, not much but normally enough.

It can take some time to get the work (normally not more than a few minutes) but you can see "requestors running" and "requests queued" in the program.

You did specify the clients to connect to the proxy?

[LAURENU2]

Did you install it in a new directory are an used one?

No I am not using the client controller I guess I am just to stupid to know how to use it

[Death]

can you just follow the instructions on a client controller page? ))))))))

this is my 666-th post!

[Xaverius]

I guess English is sometimes a bit hard to understand, isn't it.
I also have that problem, most of the time when it's about 4-5 am and the bloodlevel in my alcohol.... oh...., whatever.

[LAURENU2]

I can not read is not the only problem I have here.
I will have to download well over 3 terabytes of upgrades to my OS's just to get that program to work.
If I started now given the time I have at hand I might be able to do 2 a day if every thing went as planed
And that would bring me well into the New Year.

Laurenu2 you mean all updates from microsoft update? do you really mean tera? not peta?
cuz you can download xp - it's only near one Gb )))))

[LAURENU2]

Laurenu2 you mean all updates from microsoft update? do you really mean tera? not peta?

I mean 3300 Megabytes
Net framework is 55MB X 60+ nodes =3.3 terabyte I thought

[alpha]

55MB * 60 is 3.3 gigabytes.

You'd need to have nearly 63,000 nodes for it to be 3.3 terabytes.

[Death]

Laurenu2, oh man, why did you download it 60 times? why don't just download offline install one time and install it everywhere? or tell your proxy to cache larger files, so all nodes just take it from cache?

Chuck, now I really understand your tagline about professor. )))) really. make a lecture in answer to short joke - this is wonderful.
Ok, my first HDD was 40 Mb - full 41943040 bytes. I was very happy to have almost 2 megabytes for "free" (no, no, not giga, MEGA). So I know a little about mega and giga. ))))))
And I really loves to see an overall scitech boost. Havin' a 32Gb flash drive - I'm amazed that its almost 1000 times larger that my first hdd and simply fits in a pocket.

thats marketing simplification - measure hdd size in a mega (in a meaning of millions, not 2 powers) looks stupid to me. one buy 500 Mb HDD, plug it, and in a properties tab windows tell him "this is 486 Mb capacity". and on most drives that I seen, there was a clarification on label - kinda like "we say that 1 gb means 1 billon bytes, but real capacity is 976 mb" or something like that.

[Death]

Laurenu read alpha's post.

I'm trying to tell you the same.

kilo

giga <--- you miss this. ))))))
tera
peta

tera
peta

See I told you I was stupid And here you think I have the smarts to mass distribute a update to all nodes ,
or point all nodes to one proxy server When I can not even count to 1000
PS I have even have a hard time getting my wife to work right

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Yes well that and the fact MS don't make it exactly easy for you to download offline update patches..

[Paratima]

How about a computer with 4K of RAM ??? Yes, 4K.... and that made you 'The Man' !!!!

*SOMEWHERE* I have my FULL HEIGHT 10MB IBM PC 5 1/4" drive. I also have a 10MB FULL SIZE platter and a 60MB 'stack' (from the CDC drives that were the size of a washing machine).

Been there; done that! Hell, I programmed electro-mechanical micro-computer accounting machines with 400 frigging WORDS (12 decimal digits/word).
Off-line storage? Yep: paper tape! The mighty Burroughs E-4000! Un be liev a ble.
Like trying to get a quart of fresh frogs in a pint pickle pot.

[IronBits]

EON is not worth all that

[LAURENU2]

EON is not worth all that

Can you elaborate a little more on that IB

[IronBits]

It's simple...
Not enough work to go around... client server communications are less than desireable...
Admins are not very responsive, server goes down a lot...
Folks are forced to find ways to take more work than they should to maintain higher output...
One such way is to use a proxy program that sucks the life out of the server so no one else can get work...
Said programs require 55mb of .net add-ons to windows x 60 boxen (in your case)

...
...
...

[LAURENU2]

OH OK
I thought you were implying the project focus was not worth our efforts
As for project management and the WU supply chain might be due to a funding problem.
As for doing the update network wide I have decided to keep it to only 10 nodes

[Xaverius]

I can not read is not the only problem I have here.
I will have to download well over 3 terabytes of upgrades to my OS's just to get that program to work.

I probably bang my head afterwards if I give yout this information, but.... You just need to download the update once and run the proxy on that only computer. Then the only thing is to point all the other installations of eon to the IP of that computer. One proxy could provide all the work you need for all your boxes.

That is how I did it. I ran eonstart on my XP-installation and I edited the config on my Kunbuntu to 192.168.1.103 to get work. (yes, I only have two PC's )

It's simple...

...

Perhaps we don't actually understand eachother but what't the difference of having 8 installations per core (nice on a octacore) hammering the server and one proxy with let's say 20 requestors for work for an entirely netwerk of eon-installations.

You're being quite negative about the proxy but it have you actually tried it for a while (no, not just for a day) and see how it works??? If enough work is buffered most (or even all) of the requestors are in a "pause"-mode and do not request even more work.

And even if it is hammering the server the way as 8 clients per core does, how come you are negative only to this proxy program and not to those people who are installing 8-installations per core... Even LAUREN2 admits he's trying to hammering the server so hard that the admins have to upgrade it...

Or am I missing some carcasm somewhere? I'm onlu Dutch you know.

[LAURENU2]

not to those people who are installing 8-installations per core... Even LAUREN2 admits he's trying to hammering the server so hard that the admins have to upgrade it...

Ouch 8 per core I was only doing 12 to 14 per quad node


As for trying to hammering the server so hard

I do that to every project I work

It was just that EoN was one of the few that stalled out under the stress

[Paratima]

The thread that would not die!

[LAURENU2]

The thread that would not die!

I sure hope that was a mare

[Xaverius]

Seems the server is up againg since a few days (a little staying alive bump)

[LAURENU2]

Well Enjoy the extra WU's As I turned down the Pressure in EoN to make a massive DUMP in DPAD
Get your WU's now before I power back up It won't be long

[LAURENU2]

The thread that would not die!

Yippy I just took 5th Place

[Bok]

sweet!

I noticed you were getting close!

[Chuck]

Gang, we seem to have two Eon teams....or two EON projects (?)


Our own stats show it.... I sent a PM to a few admins.... but ask how to get our association to the PROPER 'Free-DC' team... something has changed and would appreciate some assistance. A bunch of users show up as NEW Eon users with NO TEAM NAME on the team page. Lauren doesn't even show up!!!! He, like I, am "archived".

Lauren.... you're about to get some SERIOUS heat!!!!! You KNOW I can steal them from you..... and now I have HELP!!! Care to get the 'archived' vs 'active' situation corrected and then let's have SOME SERIOUS FUN as well as take 4th place ?????? Let's see how long we can keep ALL the EON WUs in FDC posession!!! ??

Oh, and Fyi..... I can save MORE than 10000 WUs at a time WITHOUT them expiring ... AND distribute them across the Linux and Windows sides....

------------ To more serious matters -------------------------

EDIT: Found this doing an in depth search on the Eon server...... How does one fix it? It obviously occurred after the 1st but before today (where the 'eon we know' is 'archived' on OUR server.... when it really isn't)

Warning:  mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/eon/public_html/stats.php on line 320

No such user was found in the team Free-DC  
Warning:  mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/eon/public_html/stats.php on line 322
  
 Total number of results: 594410640

Thanks,
C

*EDIT* by Bok. Just a misunderstanding and using wrong parameters on one of the pages. Explained in a PM that the page requires a &team=Free-DC parameter in the url.. no harm, no foul

[Bok]

Chuck, without providing any examples of what you mean it's impossible to answer this?

Eon archived ? Why, how do you think this? It's not in the archived section

I've looked through the Free-DC stats and can see nothing wrong..

There is only one Free-DC team in the teamlist and that's confirmed in the DB and the export that Eon provide.

Lauren still has 18M+ points.

So where are you looking ? You mention Eon archived on Our Server. Who's server are you talking about here ?

As for mysql errors, well they basically occur when an invalid query is made for whatever reason.

I'm just totally confused, not that that's difficult these days

[Chuck]

Error found!
