Following the announcement of the installation of ALL-IN-1 on the
FUTURS cluster, I wonder how many All-IN-1 users System Management
anticipate using this resource ?
Many FUTURS users have experienced performance problems... even
not being able to access the system due to the maximum number of
users on the nodes being exceeded.
And now this "CPU killer" is being let loose on FUTURS ?!?!?!?
Is there a case for System Management checking the number of active
user accounts v performance on our hardware, before allowing certain
software products to be installed ?

I have been informed by IS that this product is only being installed for
development purposes, not as I feared for general usage.

However... my comments on system performance still stand. This is
not criticism of I.S.,(who unfortunately are working under extreme
conditions to maintain a service to the whole of Basingstoke - not
just the Crescent) but more a thought provoker.
As Geoff Shingles commented ... we are all working hard, we should
be working better. Again, I am not implying that I.S. are not working
hard enough, but shouldn't there be somebody who is looking at the
Big Picture to check that computer resources are being used
effectively.
Could this be a self-policing operation by a consensus of ADG
personnel, who could look at the impact/growth of projects on specific
nodes, where moving the project or rather allocating new projects
to different nodes, could reduce potiential problems ? Are there
are steps (not requiring IS intervention) that we can do to assist
ourselves as system users ?
Again, this is not "I.S. knocking", but suggestions for discussion
and comment.

| 174.3 | but STOPIT already has it | RDGE43::JANJUA | Lets go for it. | Tue Sep 13 1988 11:20 | 7 |
Why do we need to have ALL-IN-1 on futurs for Development when
this product is already installed on STOPIT (EUE) for this very
reason ?
May be someone could explain why ?

| 174.4 | So does FUTURS!!! | ELBOW::DRAPER | Steve Draper | Tue Sep 13 1988 12:20 | 10 |
For those people who haven't realised (and I now know of at least
two!), ALL-IN-1 has been present on FUTURS for a long time. This
is really a re-installation.
As to the overall problem of performance: there is a good deal of
work going on to try to help alleviate this, and I will post more
information about it in a separate note in the near future (no pun
intended!!).
