Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.08.26 22:44:00 - [1] Edited by: Stick Cult on 26/08/2010 22:44:00 Originally by: Johannus Shand You could always try running jita on a cluster of recycled smart phones. PS3 cluster best cluster, obviously... Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.08.27 16:51:00 - [2] Originally by: Super Whopper Also 1300 people in system checking markets doesn't immediately mean that 600 people shooting at eachother will also experience no lag, because they will. No, but the fact that the inventory system (the most apparent result of lag in Jita, other than actually being ~in space~) is more snappy means that things are being handled better by a faster server, which means a fleet fight will run smoother. Maybe only 5 or 10% smoother, but if you get a dozen changes each help by 5 or 10%, bam, things are running a lot better all the sudden. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad.

Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.08.29 23:14:00 - [3] Originally by: carebear one well I watch the performance in Jita some times with this new hardware. There is abolutly no change. Jita is a slow and laggy as always. Business transactions take up to 5 min til they are processed by the server. Backwards-Warping as allways and so on. I've never had issues with that.. market transactions have always taken max 20 seconds for me, same with fitting things to ships. Maybe it's your internet? Quote: I think its time that CCP accepts the fact that Jita is THE trading hub in EVE and dont try to change that. I'm pretty sure they have accepted that... Quote: I think the way to get Jita going is just simple. Make the system like a POS-Forcefield. No target-locking possible in Jita. All the ship just hanging around locking and scanning every ship will have to move to the systems around jita. EVE has thousands of systems where a ganker or a griefer can enjoy his fetish. Just throw them out of Jita so the Capacities on the Cluster goes to the players who do what Jita is intended for. Trading. Also the CPU-time needed for the CONCORD-Scripts could be safed. Certainly an interesting suggestion... I do like the suicide ganking in Jita, though... Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.08.29 23:22:00 - [4] Originally by: Zeba stick cult: trolled and rolled. Naa, just **ing bored. Oh god am I bored... /me goes off to get moar forum warnings... Originally by:** CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.

Oh god am I bored... /me goes off to get moar forum warnings... Go to S&M and bait Intigo. He is always good to slap around for some jollies. Willing too. Meh I'm gonna go play a game or something... Not eve, of course! Maybe Supreme Commander 2 or Borderlands... Originally by:** CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.01 20:39:00 - [6] Edited by: Stick Cult on 01/09/2010 20:39:49 Originally by: Jita Alt666 So the ccp employee who told a csm to: "Log in as many as you can in jita we challenge you to break it" needs to be censured by his employer. No you're just twisting his words... They want to test Jita by getting people in it. If it breaks, meh. If you're spamming lag inducing ** like there's no tomorrow, I bet they don't want that, as it wouldn't be an accurate test. Originally by:** CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.01 21:54:00 - [7] Originally by: Cergorach Scenario: 1800 EVE players sitting in station Jita 4-4, they all decide to hit the undock button at once. What happens on/to the server? Smoke. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.01 23:46:00 - [8] Edited by: Stick Cult on 01/09/2010 23:47:48 Originally by: Ager Agemo excuse me if i sound ignorant, but if nodes can only run on a single core, wouldn¦t it make sense to have a machine apart that has a single/dual core super clocked to handle special cases ? ( big fleet battles and alike ) something like an AMD procesor at 5000mhz or so? i believe a less core new procesor can easily be overclocked much more than a multicore procesor. or i m wrong? What chip can reach 5 ghz, even overclocked? And then, more importantly, what server chip can reach 5 ghz? (Not sure on the ease of overclocking thing single vs multiple core thing) Another bottleneck in the servers is RAM (Another reason CCP only uses 1 core on multicore processors, it's just more CPU trying to get to the same RAM). The new Jita node has faster RAM, which is why it can handle more people. edit: Part of CCP's plan with the servers was them thinking "whoa, chips are getting so much faster ever day! We can just upgrade our servers every few years to reduce lag..." back in 2000. Well, they kinda flopped. (lolololol) Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.02 02:17:00 - [9] Originally by: Breaker77 Originally by: Stick Cult Another bottleneck in the servers is RAM (Another reason CCP only uses 1 core on multicore processors, it's just more CPU trying to get to the same RAM). I thought that the reason they use 1 core is that EVE is not programmed to use multiple cores therefore they are a waste Right, but I thought I remember them saying they could pack basically 2 copies of the server code into 2 seperate cores on one blade. Which they don't, because of the RAM issue. And Eve is only running on one core. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.05 16:10:00 - [10] Originally by: Hun Jakuza Edited by: Hun Jakuza on 05/09/2010 16:08:04 Originally by: CCP Yokai Edited by: CCP Yokai on 03/09/2010 09:50:53 In response to questions about when do we do this for 0.0: After Sunday we should have all the data we need to prove and measure the impact on Eve from: Changes in Memory Latency Changes in Chip Architecture Changes in Cache Changes in Clock Rate Addition of Turbo Boost When we have this we can much more easily spec the optimal system for Jita and similar systems and move on. This same server will be then used to benchmark fleet fights in 0.0 With all of your help the test in Jita gets us the predictable load we need for baseline data collection and we move right into improving 0.0 I hope that helps better explain the intentions of this testing. Jita and fleet fights not equal, so i think this it's an useless test for fleet fights. You need testing fleet fights. It's not a test for fleet fights, it's a test for Jita. We know Jita's better now, but they want to know how much better, so they want to (almost) break it. Then he said they're going to have a node like they have now in Jita to do fleet fighting on, to test fleet fighting. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.07 18:46:00 - [11] Originally by: Hawk TT Hello, CCP? Is anybody out there? Could you share with us some results from the Jita Stress Test? As you already know, "silence kills trust" Give them a few days to make some colorful charts. Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.08 19:33:00 - [12] Originally by: Squid Prime Originally by: CCP Yokai Originally by: CCP Yokai I thought if we posted about new hardware we'd get a few more people in local testing. Tell you what... we get this puppy above 1800 tonight I will post a vid of a dev dancing in a cabinet in the new London datacenter. Or if you choose a server pic :) Make it 2000 and I'll post both! You'd better not forget those pics Yokai! Gief sexy pics with the beast that was able to do this! ...to prevent any confusion, I'm referring to the server I'd accept sexy pics of Yokai... Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Stick Cult	Posted - 2010.09.09 19:29:00 - [13] Originally by: CCP Yokai I can't promise sexy... but there are pics of... Me, CCP Explorer, servers, graphs and some words... Stay tuned. I. Must. See. This. (I'm sure they are sexy... there's servers involved! ) Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
