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)
