Yay! I could add 2 more agents if that were the case.
I tried putting it on my computer here at work but unfortunately something is being filtered. The thing that checks for filtering reports UDP is filtered but ICMP is not. However when I run the agent it looks like ALL IPs are exactly 1 hop away from me. I did a manual tracert in windows and behold the results:
Code: |
Tracing route to www.yahoo.akadns.net [68.142.226.37]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 * * * Request timed out.
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 * * * Request timed out.
5 * * * Request timed out.
6 * * * Request timed out.
7 * * * Request timed out.
8 * * * Request timed out.
9 * * * Request timed out.
10 * * * Request timed out.
11 * * * Request timed out.
12 * * * Request timed out.
13 * * * Request timed out.
14 * * * Request timed out.
15 * * * Request timed out.

As you can see all the nodes between me and the destination are unresponsive but for some reason the final destination does get back to me. It does the same thing for any any address I try. I know the campus used to have most ICMP traffic blocked but they have relaxed some of that. But that is kind of puzzeling to me. Anyone got theories? |

Another problem, has anyone else had the dimes agent close with no reason, just gone... A couple of my agents run for days you go to check on them and they are not running. Like they shutdown or quit with no message. _________________ Smoke-em if you got-em I do.. |

Without knowing how your network is setup its a shot in the dark, run a Code: | traceroute -d -w 10000 merlincomputing.com | and tell me what you get. If you get a full return there are probably 2 things causing your problems. Neither of which is at your control unless you can gain access to make changes to the routers at where you work. _________________ Smoke-em if you got-em I do.. |

It seems each day I have one down.
Three days ago I had seven down.
Free DC speculates a memory leak.
A dimesmonitor is needed. SFM??? _________________ "There ain't no freekin' Indians around here..."

Writing a process monitor/restarter would be a bit like putting sticking plaster over a festering wound - it is only hiding the real issue!
There is definitely a memory problem - after a few days running here the process virtual memory size has normally grown from the initial 28MB to over 80MB and the machine is slowing down. (Contrast that to another system which has run Folding for nearly a year without any sign of trouble)
Not clear if the issue is a genuine leak or just a gradual filling up. There is evidence of some sloppy management techniques e.g the way those little pairs and closed loops get left around on the graphics windows after the clutter is cleared (when this happens you see the sequence:
dimes.gui.AgentFrame$TraceWorker construct
INFO: The screen has gotten too cluttered - had to clear it.
in the message window - what is apparent is that it hasn't cleared everything!)
I'm curious that the rate of 'leak' seems to vary from machine to machine - this suggests that it is dependent on some unpredictable circumstances e.g. network timeout handling code or graphics drawing (maybe depends on the display colouring and naming choices?)
Remember that this is still effectively a beta version (release number is only 0.4). I don't yet consider it stable enough for a farm deploy and it is also probably not worth building add on tools for it until at least version 1.0

In case any of you were wondering what happened on that day last week where everyone's stats doubled for the day....
Quote: | Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 3:31 pm
What happens is that due to the immense amounts of data we get and MySQL's slow updates, we currently do bulk updates of lot's of data at once. That means that you'll see a slow increase during a few days and then a large jump.
This will continue until we finish moving to the new cluster system, sometime in the next 10 days. |

The team is closing in fast on 3rd position and should overtake BOINC-Synergy in just over 30 hours.
Also, your humble servant (that would be me) has just taken 3rd place in the World (Universe / Galaxy).
Vesuvius is also only a few days away from claiming 6th spot Worldwide.
With a few more contributors, we can make this project OURS! _________________ KWSN Sir CADCAM of the Wooden Rabbit

I could throw 2 more agents at it if they only supported linux... I tried their linux client but currently it sucks very much. 1) it has to run as root. I do not like running things like this as root. 2) it creates a new directory hirarchy in / - since it is running as root, it can obviously do this however I REALLY do not like this. I install it in its own directory under my home. It should stay there. 3) after all that it didn't even work. It spit out a bunch of exceptions and just sat there doing nothing.
Guess they are still in beta so I won't bee too harsh on them but I am not going to be running it on my linux boxes any time soon... |

I was grunting my way up the KWSN team stats, but then this porker of an application starting consuming mass quantities of my 256MB of memory on my Dell work pc so I had to shut it down .
I'm reduced to running it on my home pc, but only part-time as it's been blistering hot here, so I only run the pc when I'm at home and the A/C is on . So I cannot assist too much in your quest for world DIMES domination . |

Such insolence is unacceptable! Restart those clients immediately!
Apparently, the problem was that the server was increasing the load and thus increasing the memory usage. They say it has been fixed (see?). Just exit and restart the client and stop your whining.

Give da wabbit a break, ppl. He's made an observation there that suggests he is no longer restricted by his disability to count further than one. He is now able to count to two (2) too.
Hooray for the Wabbit. PGGB's please.
