Hi all!

We are in the TOP150 :-)

so just try to make us more popular and kick in new machines :-)

The Zetagrid FAQ I created on http://cvs.gentoo.org/~tantive moved to another server the last days but is fully functional by now.

Well, ringo.zok.jp has delivered the first package and is now listed among its mightier x86-brethren, so I think we can assume the PPC version to be stable. One thing that did happen was this error message about libcrypto2.so not being big-endian in nohup.out again, right after I emerged the ebuild, but once I downloaded your library into /opt/zetagrid, everything started humming along smoothly.

Tantive, will you have to make a separate ebuild for PPCs or can this be integrated into the existing one? Great news about the top 150! We'd go shooting right through the roof if we could reactivate the dormant workstations on this "Michael Imhof" creature's account.

By the way, there still seem to be some active GLUE units that haven't been assimilated... We did say resistance was futile, didn't we?

Huh, I just made a simple GKrellM 1.2.x plugin for ZetaGrid. It's still prebeta and I've only tested it on my box. But feel free to check it out http://bluesman.geeksinthehood.net/index.php?page=projects.

don't know why, but it just doesn't work here (no activity at all (0%), except you start/stop zetagrid). the zetagrid-client is running, of course...

Could we use the grid ourselves, or make a gentoo grid for our own use? I'm thinking specifically of really fast compiles, emerges etc.

We could even cache results, so if someone compiles a source with particular flags/USE variables the result just get's downloaded. (no compile necessary. (hee hee kde 3.1 in under 10 minutes....)

I'm new to this so I'm probably totally off base, but ... would it be possible?

Yup same url, same file.

I'll submit it, but I was thinking of getting the config gui done first, and I have no idea how the cpu usage behaves on SMP boxen.

Bleusman: Gkrellm seems to segfault every now and then when using your plugin. Still gotta check on it, don't have much time now sorry. I'll try running it through strace, if that helps for you.

I'd be happy to try out the ebuild later, when I have some more free time (I really have to do some schoolwork now I'm afraid..).

I was about to yell "me, too", but now it is working for me again... Strange.

BTW, we're in the top 120 now, still rising...

bluesman's plugin works pretty stable here. still without any cpu-usage but that doesn't really matter. important is the progress-o-meter

btw bluesman: how about adding a performance index?

WE'RE TOP100 SOON

LOL, still?!

From what I found out it looks like that the previus getCPUusgage function was borked since the ps arx | grep .... command was since it sometimes captured the PID of the command itself. I fixed it, now it works for me.

Any ideas where to stick the performanceindex info? Top right corner?

We've made it! We're in the top 100!

If a proof of the Hypothesis is generated from ZetaGrid data today, we'll be eligible for about $2000 (I think: our 500 million zeros divided by 250 billion total zeros, multiplied by $1million, is $2000). Nice.
