Post:
After many problems, the BOINC server virtualization was moved to another server.
This is a temporary move, as the platform will eventually be moved to faster SAS 10k disks (within a few days).
We will keep you informed about planned shutdowns.

On 03.08.2021 (Tuesday) we plan to perform a migration of the main BOINC virtual machine. Starting at 7:00 (UTC+2:00 time zone) the ithena.net website and the entire BOINC project will not be available. Hopefully the project will be available again the same day. Sorry for the problems ;)

Further to the news Ya!vaConf 2021 a presentation (PDF) is available online. Title in polish: "BOINC + ElasticStack = architektura zbierania, gromadzenia, przetwarzania i archiwizowania danych w kontekście projektu obliczeń rozproszonych iThena".

English translation of the title: "BOINC + Elastic Stack = architecture for data collection, gathering, processing and archiving in the context of the iThena distributed computing project".

Currently the virtual disk dedicated to BOINC platform is ~256 GB in size.
I do not include the database in this space.
The database is located on another space (SSD).

I will gladly accept donations of hardware - I mean SAS/SATA drives (both 2.5" and 3.5"). Not even necessarily SSD - these are much more expensive.

In general, within the next month I plan very large changes, which are to improve the stability of the system.

73) Message boards : News : Open-Source Proxmox platform as part of the infrastructure (Message 1132)
Posted 4 Apr 2021 by Profile Rysiu

As part of our own initiatives we use open-source software.

Such systems based on open-source model are BOINC, and Elastic Stack.

We use advanced virtualization technologies and LXC containers based on Proxmox Virtual Environment.

Following the information on Wikipedia:

Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server virtualization management platform. It is a Debian-based Linux distribution with a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel and allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers. Proxmox VE includes a web console and command-line tools, and provides a REST API for third-party tools.

Open-source models built by communities in a huge way are very interesting.

We encourage you to support open-source initiatives and take advantage of such environments!

79) Message boards : News : First summary of a major SBG Strasbourg incident (Message 1087)
Posted 14 Mar 2021 by Profile Rysiu
Post:
On March 10, 2021, a major fire occurred in the datacenter area of Strasbourg (OVH).

In the incident, one component of the iThena project was completely destroyed.

Another component located in SBG3 was temporarily shut down (only power sections destroyed). According to OVH, the SBG3 infrastructure we use should be up and running around March 22, 2021.

There may be issues with the iThena project applications.
These issues will completely disappear when the SBG3 zone is fully restored by OVH engineers.

At the same time, our team has developed improvements in the application code to fix such problems in the future.

You are welcome to test the new version of iThena CNODE application (v1.18b1).

80) Message boards : Number crunching : Much longer Runtime?! (Message 1086)
Posted 14 Mar 2021 by Profile Rysiu
Post:
I am attaching a new version of iThena CNODE for local testing:

v1.18b1:

Arch x86_64-pc-linux-gnu:
http://cybercomplex.net/bins/ithena_cnode_v1.18b1/ithena_cnode_v1.18b1_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.zip

Arch i686-pc-linux-gnu:
http://cybercomplex.net/bins/ithena_cnode_v1.18b1/ithena_cnode_v1.18b1_i686-pc-linux-gnu.zip

You can extract the ZIP file in some directory.

You can run:

on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu:

time ./ithena_cnode_v1.18_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu


or on i686-pc-linux-gnu:

time ./ithena_cnode_v1.18_i686-pc-linux-gnu


The program generates the following files:

stderr.txt
ithena_cnode_out0
ithena_cnode_out1


The above result files can be emailed to me: lswierczewski at cybercomplex dot net.

I am waiting for info ;)
