As if one big test last Sunday on Singularity wasn't enough, we'll have another testing event this Tuesday. The setup will be the same, you should all gather in FD-MLJ on the Singularity server and join the in game channel 'starbaseattack'. We encourage you to use Dreadnaughts and Carriers, since we are attacking a Starbase. And of course you should have your ships set up and everything fitted before 11.00 GMT since the event will start then and take about one hour.
This is being run to compare performance between Revelations 2.01 and the upcoming Revelations 2.1 (with Python 2.5 runtime). This time we'll be running the exact same code as Tranquility to see if there's any difference in performance between this stress test and the previous stress test.
If you have any questions regarding the event, please post them in this thread.

Please try to communicate better with your testers this time. We've been sitting for 45 minutes waiting for a "you can go home, we don't need you" last time.
Oh? What happened?

I believe Zulupark replied to those issues in his last post.

Originally by: ivar R'dhak How did the last test go from CCP¦s point of view?
And I very much hope that the rampaging desynch issue is being investigated too? Not just if yet another codechange works.

See the link in my last post. 
The desync issue is being investigated, though I'm not so sure this test has anything to do with it. You can help out in this thread. 
Originally by: Tallen Zek Hello, i would like to assist inb the load test, sounds awsome, but i can't fly anything larger then a battleship, am i still able to assist?
Yes of course, we don't require you to fly capital ships, we just encourage it if you can fly them. 
Originally by: Ecid Q'Wulf Yeah, it would be nice to get some Feedback from CCP, after the second event took place, to let us know, which test (and therefor code) was smoother.
Ecid
I believe Zulupark will post some sort of information on how the test went.

Originally by: Murtac But even though he was lagging and stressed, would a simple: "We have all the people we need in gang. If you can stick around and do stuff in FD-M you'd be helping out, though." be too much to ask for? It would have turned an entirely unpleasant experience into something nice. Might even have lead to some nice battles...
We'll keep that in mind for future events, like the one tomorrow.

Originally by: Nossirah I would really like to participate in one of these big tests, but unfortunately they have both been scheduled at 5 AM local. As much as I want to help, there is almost no way I can be on that early. Maybe your next big test can be scheduled later in the day so some of us on the other side of the planet can take part.
I believe test such as this will take place at the time that suits the QA team best, and it seems like they are having them at Tranquility downtime to get as many people as possible. If it would suit them to have a test later in the day I'm sure they'll have it, but I don't think they'll schedule tests in different times because of timezones.

Large numbers of sessions chnages especially seem to trigger the dsyncs.
run logserver and get me a logfile please. people are complaining about these desync issues, but i've not been able to reproduce this and no one has helped by getting me a logfile of the event. the sooner we get a nice logfile, the sooner we can hopefully find the issue.

This is rather tricky, a number of goons at least have been running logserver. The problem is its a bit of ram hog. It eats up about 500mg of ram within 15 mins of running from my observation.
We run the logserver all day long and none of us have ever had this memory issue with it that you're talking about.
You can try opening the tools menu and clicking the 'Server Mode (100,000)' option. That way it auto-saves the logs every one hundred thousand lines and reduces the resources the LogServer.exe takes.
If you get a logfile with this issue in it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE create a bugreport, attach the logfile and put 'Desync issue:xx' in the subject line.

This test has been canceled due to hardware issues we're having with one of the SISI server machines.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this, but it was unavoidable.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, another test will probably be announced in the future.
