Meeting Minutes - February 18th, 2005
non-nfs testing
- temp user (home dir /tmp)
- no release cut for first round of tests (take binaries from ~charliep/cvs-hopper/{cairo,bazaar}-a2rc/folding-at-clusters/release/bin/ )
- /cluster/generic/bin/runfatc.pl (will be in cvs)
- driver-fatc scripts
- path
- number of runs
- min nodes
- max nodes
- molecule name
- don't record in DB: yes = no record, no = record
- non-nfs nodes; 3 tests 1 node, 3 tests 2 nodes, 3 tests 3 nodes,... walk up non-nfs config to more nodes
- test set labels : start with a2 then move to rc, rc1, rc2, ...
- put a2/rc test rows in results table
- continually run tests on bazaar and cairo. Kill tests when we get a new rc. start tests with new rc when available.
- dectect stalled runs by comparing time stamps to wall clock time
- change to runfatc before we start tests: charlie will make a change (we're not harvesting the mass points; put attribute to store mass points in db table).
- change dvc to use mass points in select as a select statement. could be a potential x-axis. we want to see how things scale by mass points instead of by noders (ps nodes/day vs mass points).
- put calc-speedup.pl in /generic/bin/
- use c1 and b1 as mother nodes when testing
folding@clusters
- a2 and rc; check binaries to tell what version (rc, a1, ... etc) the we're using
Plumbing
- make c15 smp again
- /etc/rc.conf - use -h option when restarting portmap (look for portmap flags; bind to internal interface only)
