Free-DC server is very slow.

[PCZ]

Dyyryath
Somethings not well.

[Bok]

It's just the last hop too. I'm getting 680ms on that one. I'm on the same network (nc.rr.com) and that's running ok as far as I can tell..

[PY 222]

I am in San Jose, CA.

[magnav0x]

erm....ditto from Dallas

[Paratima]

Ditto from Florida and his Arachnid stats pages also. Probably fouled plugs.

I've emailed Dyy. Hard to tell what he might be up to at any given moment, though.

[tim]

Up in Washington state it's two to 5 seconds to send a page. Usually it's less than one. It's livable but unusual.

[Dyyryath]

Heh, I've got one word for you: bittorrent.

It should be better now.

[RacerX]

Much better!!!

Thank you, Dyy.

[the-mk]

That's what I call speed

It's much better now!

18 hours ago I was waiting for the Free-DC-stats-page more than 5 minutes... today they are here in a few seconds!

Dyyryath

[Moogie]

Much better out here in the land of the peaches!

Thanks Dyy!!!!!

[tim]

Better than before the slowdown -- muchas garcias!

[the-mk]

Yes, it is a old thread, but the forum seems to be slow to me.

First call of front page took about ten seconds or more... the next click is better but I thought it was faster some time ago...

Do you experience something similar or is it just me?

I am also experiencing this. I thought it was just me, as all sites are loading slowly for me, but FDC is 2-3x slower than the rest.

It's memory again, as the various stats are growing they are using up more and more memory each time. Things like the Rosetta hosts stats in particular..

Even with 3Gb Ram in it's all being used up.

I need to seperate out the various functions of the perl script which does the updates to try to release memory (perl does not release any memory until the script ends...) which I'm doing in my devel stats, sadly with little help.

Other options, more memory, faster server, seperate server for forum, hosting from home, less frequent updating - I've thought of them all at one time or another, but the main one would almost certainly be to fix the underlying scripts.. now if only there were some perl gurus who would dedicate some time to help me Darkness Productions

No worries. Thanks for the update.

Bok you are welcome to use my online resources at laurensnet.com
If they would be of use as a server redirect or extra Ghz

I pay for it every month but use it so little

[IronBits]

Post the make/model/brand/type/size of the memory modules you need and let's see if we can get that sucker up to 8GB.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the processing power... yet

[Bok]

I have no idea on memory as it's a dedicated server, but I do think I
m wasting memory. My gathering script is one large script.. so, for example when doing some boinc stats, it does the following :

Read in and parse XML files. These are *large* for Rosetta especially with hosts. It's not giving back the memory, so say it's used upto 500Mb at that point.

Then it's reading all users into an array in order to rank them.. quite a chunk of memory.

Then reading all teams into an array in order to rank them.

Ranking all users within teams (not too bad as it will re-use the array)

Reading all hosts into array to rank them.

So, Rosetta alone can consume a lot of memory..

Then if Einstein is running at the same time or CPDN, things get bad...

So, I'm going to experiment right now on breaking that script into pieces and firing them off, one after another, whilst examining memory usage. It'll also give me a chance to redo some of the functions entirelly in mysql.

I did offer to help but I too one look at the "deval" and my mind went in no particular order.

[Bok]

I think I've proved to myself that I can get around the memory problems... so a long thought about upgrade has been purchased...costs a little more but I think it'll be worth it.. specs are better

The forum won't be slow for too much longer..

Let's all thank Lauren for his generosity in partially paying for the server each month..and everyone who has donated - BlisteringSheep from ArsTechnica and NFlight from AMDUsers especially recently

Wow, thanks everyone for their generosity, especially Bok and Lauren.

[LAURENU2]

Well thanks, but it is a Team effort We all do what we can as a team to be the leaders of the DC community
Bok is the BEST Darn systems admin in the DC community
He makes this run so well around here I think we take it all for granted how much time and effort he puts in here
IronBits is a behind the scenes kind of guy but adds his fair share to the common good
the list would go on and on thought the entire membership
All I can say is We Are A Team Free-DC

[LAURENU2]

Bok I know it is sad But there is JUST one thing I do not like about the forum software.
The post writer/editor will take the extra spaces, but will remove them when you _submit reply/save

If I want spacing I am forced to use _ _ _ or ...
It will not allow more then one space between letters.

I know it dose this to save space. And I am not sure if it can be adjusted, but it sure would be nice

[Bok]

That's more html than the forum. If you write any html page and put 100 spaces in it will reduce them to one...

Bok

[IronBits]

You mean like this?

t e s t
t  e  s  t
t   e   s   t

Wrap it in {code} t  e  x  t        h  e  r  e {/code} Just replace the braces {'s with brackets ['s

[LAURENU2]

T e s t

TEST

   T   E    S        T

Interesting but now it changed the font
So when you add-in a =[code] and a switch it acts like a real text editor
Thanks might come in handy when doing rows and columns

Some day we will live in a perfect world but to bad I will be dead
