Get this now! Faster Java!
There is a faster Java now. MUCH faster. Xyzzy wrote up a page on how to do it. It's not difficult at all. SPEED!
Check this: http://home.nc.rr.com/mvang/ubero.html
That page explains how to instal the SDK and gives you lines to add to your Autoexec and new lines for your ajent.bat.
This is only for console operation - as near as I can tell.
If you have trouble, meet us in the channel.
It screams! Get it now. Don't delay.

Since Francois joined us, we are way ahead of Ars. And now we are pulling even in production rates.
It is important that you switch to the new SKD. This wil let us outproduce them daily.
The procedure is simple, and if you need help, just ask.

On my Abit BM6 with a 600MHZ cB0 Celeron II overclocked to 750MHZ I get identical times with either method... I get about 180 units per day...
I prefer the Sun method mainly because there is more documentation...
Others have told me that the Sun method is guaranteed to give a good performance boost while the IBM version either does really well or just okay...
The web page was updated yesterday to reflect both methods...
I have found another tweak, but it is only 2-3%... Nothing like 50% or more with the current tweak... It involves adjusting the quanta, or timeslice... Look here for more info... Right now I am running a 120MS quanta and it is a bit faster than the default 20MS quanta... Interactive performance doesn't seem to suffer, either...
I've also applied other registry tweaks to speed up my system, like:
SecondLevelDataCache
DisablePagingExecutive
IoPageLockLimit
LargeSystemCache
These can be found under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
All together these registry tweaks are good for maybe 1.5-2%... They affect I/O operations mostly...

Xyzzy before i was using the sun java and with my 1.4 t-bird on my ECS K7S5A I didn't even break 300 wu's.... now i broke 400...
documentation or not I think it's good....

I was goign to migrate over a redhat 7.2 box (just a little amd 350) over to a new project and thought I would give ubero a try. then I saw all this about new JRE's
So anyone have a link or willing to post on the best way to get ubero running from scratch? i see these posts about not allowing installes with the alternate JRE's and just wondering if someone would give me a pointer or two.

Hey, can somebody post the installs for Linux? I can't get the IBM JRE for Linux, so if anyone can get them and post them here, it'd be greatly appreciated!

I've got the IBM JRE for Linux, but it doesn't play nice with Ubero. On my Linux systems, I'm running the Sun 1.4 Beta3 JRE with the -server switch.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't even download the stupid thing, since it kept saying something about Error 61... Can you install Ubero with 1.4, or do I have to go through the 1.3 rigamarole?

Doc : On windows at least you can install from scratch with the "official" Ubero JRE (SUN 1.3) and IBM's 1.3.
You cannot install it with SUN 1.4 beta3. I believe the same apply to Linux.

Thanks, I got ubero installed, I started with 1.3 installed ubero then removed 1.3 and installed sun 1.4 and set it up to run in text mode with the -server option and used nice to keep it low priority so it wont' interfere too much with the other things these boxes do. I installed it on my two linux boxes. might only be 350 Mhz and 150 Mhz but every little bit helps right? and that 150 Mhz box does nothing but route my traffic to my cable modem so might as well crank on some numbers in it's spare time. Ubero seems to be one of the fre projects that the slower computers can still "appear" to be doing some good (ie doesn't take 4 days to complete a WU like with GAH or FAH.

wedge,
Is that the same box you talked about in the hardware forum? If not, please go there and answer my questions

New Sun SDK...
I plan to benchmark it starting 3AM EST tonight (Midnight Ubero Time)...

Benchmarks:
IBM 1.3.0 VM with jitc = 179 units in 24 hours...
Sun 1.4.0-rc VM with jitc = 192 units in 24 hours...
That is around a 7-8% improvement...

Ok, here's my question. I want to run ubero on my Linux box. I don't have X installed yet, and I would want to run it from the CMDLine even if I did have X. Is there a way to do this, since everytime I try to start ubero from the CMDLine, it fails because it's looking for an X window....

Getting Java to install via the command line was pretty easy, but I haven't figured out how to install Ubero that way yet...
I wonder if you can copy the Ubero folder over frm an existing Linux installation?
I hope that the next Ubero release doesn't depend on the graphical installer...
In my experience, with RH6.2, Linux was significantly slower than the Windows version... Maybe this is because 6.2 is kinda old, but I don't know for sure...
It was very stable and unobtrusive, though...
If you do find a way to get it installed, or maybe if you do install X, getting Ubero to run from the command line is very easy...
Just cd to the Ubero directory and run:
java -showversion -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text
You must have the Java executable in your path or you need to explicitly define it at run time...

My Newest question.....
Is java on Linux really that bad???? If you check my pages at Ubero (http://www.ubero.com/memberstats.asp...essProductions) you will notice Gigabyte 6BXD #1 and 2 at the bottom. Both of these procs are p3 850's. Now, I have no problem with that whatsoever. My problem lies in Katmai1, BLACK-DRAGON and Multimedia. All 3 of these are Katmai procs from 500 to 533... Something about java here is not right. Somebody fill me in, cuz this is ridiculous....
-

DP: I don't understand your problem. The slower Katmai procs seem to be doing great.
I have noticed that my PII 266 with 512K cache does more then half as much my Celeron 533.

Oh, believe me, I have no problems with the Katmai's performance. It's my Dual CuMine (Linux) that's bothering the hell out of me. Is the Linux IBM JRE really that damned slow? If so, it's almost not worth it to run Ubero on there.... Somebody fill me in... Remember, I still have no X support, so that kinda shoots graphics out the winder

I am not running IBM JRE on linux boxes. I am using the Sun JRE 1.4 but I havn't compared the two on linux.
