With an Intel Pro/1000MT Card in one of the G5’s ;)

2.3->2.3, same conditions.

FTP Push: 34-42mb/sec. 50% Cpu on Recv, 22% Cpu on Sending
FTP Pull: 41-47mb/sec. 30% Cpu on Send, 28% Cpu on Recv

Note: On a pull, the card is much less reliable - it shows up to 50mb/sec, but ends at much lower rates. With the Mac Card, this behavior didn’t happen - it was basically steady the whole way.

Dual 2.3: (250Gb Sata) - All rates are actually mb = 1000000b/s
Harddisk: WDC WD2500JD

Gig Zeros: 53mb/sec write
Gig Random: 11.8 mb/sec write

Read:

Gig Zeros @ 64k: 53mb/sec
Gig Zeros @ 16k: 55mb/sec
Gig Rand @ 16k: 56mb/sec (could be due to drive position)

All network tests done with a gigarand.bin - 1Gb, all random numbers.

Network: Dual 2.3 to Single 1.6:
FTP Push - 2.3->1.6: 22Mb/sec - 22% system CPU on 2.3, 100% CPU on 1.6!
FTP Pull - 1.6->2.3: 36Mb/sec - 28% system CPU on 2.3, 65% CPU on 1.6.

Note: 1.6 is using IDE - that could contribute to very high CPU overhead of FTP transfers - 90% or more of the CPU is contained in system (kernel) space, not user.

Network: Dual 2.3 to Dual 2.3:
FTP Push - 38-42Mb/sec - 20-30% system CPU
FTP Pull - 50-53Mb/sec - 30-45% system CPU

Note: Pulling via FTP, regardless of which direction between 2.3s, is 10Mb/sec faster. This could be due to the way ftp is optimized (for pulling). It’s unlikely it’s the disk or network card, because the results are completely symmetrical.

Default windows directory in NSIS is referred by “$WINDIR”.

-Fixed Patches to install hosts file in $WINDIR, not a hard path.

Looks like the Pyro works with either HD or Optical Drive on a Mac w/o the drive mode selector (which I friggin lost). We gotz the 10.4 Server DVD ready to go… and by some miracle the dead G4 now works…

Waiting for all the data to copy. The Personnel data is going now - it’s 72.78Gb and reporting 2 hours left.. although the finder seems to do this wierd “speed up” thing always - it starts out slow and then speeds up.

And so I embark once again - with my David kit, a machine and $5 in change for the meters. Hopefully I’ll keep up on documentation this time.

Ok, so I’ve been a bad boy. I haven’t kept up on my dream of logging every boring detail about my days.

Last night I went to bed early (prolly asleep before 12p) and I slept in until like 9:50! Barely got my prelab done - but it was done dammit, for the first time ever. Then of course I forgot to take my morning regiment or eat, and then althought I ate at about 1:30p (rubios!) I somehow lost my medicine stash. So now I really am jonesing for some salad but I have none of that, no milk, no… nothin!

Yesterday I completed a marked (nothing special, but marked) chunk of my duties for bvp!!! Finally some progress. I may suck at school, but I like to be geeky, that’s for sure.

In case I don’t get around to backlogging… I’ve been fairly successfully making it to bed around 12a (well 1:30a night before last, got in bed at 12:11a) and waking up in the vicinity of 7. I usually wake up fine a 7 but know I need more sleep - so sometimes “same old” snooze situation, but in a sense much better than before. I have more of a sense of hope about it.
