Java 1.4

[chaz]

So how's it working? Any improvements? I'm starting to wonder about 2nd place.... :D

[Arminiusc]

Who are you asking Chaz? If its me... I'm not running the IBM version... are you running it?

[chaz]

Actually I was asking anyone who's running it, lol
I tried it for a day, and it seems to run faster, but i need to run it longer to make any definite praises. I cant remember what kind of numbers I got before, but im sure none of my machines broke the 900 mark, maybe not even 800.
i think this weekend i'll reinstall 1.3 and run it and then try 1.4 again and compare.

[Arminiusc]

Cool... let me know what kind of numbers you get so I know if it is worth switching to.

[Bionic_Redneck]

I just switch over from MDK9.2 to Gentoo linux using OPS= -O3 -march=athlon-xp -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe and blackdown-1.4.1-01 and just installed ubero again seems fast commands I am using are
java -server -Xms64m -Xmx128m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text

Have to wait and see if it's worth the extra effort. Right now I am just going to have one xp 1800+ running at stock speed.

I have tried my hand at configuring an ftp server on a trial basis.

I have the windows version of IBM java sdk 1.4.0 if anyone wants it. Its 44mb in size.

Should I make it public, or should I require usernames and passwords?

If public, then the option to upload would have to be disabled, that could get out of hand.But if I set usernames I could allow creation of new directories, and file sharing may help a new user find what they want/need.

BTW my connection is only 128k/1.5m so downloads would be kinda slow.

Any suggestions?

[chaz]

Thats me ^^^^

[Jeff]

Chaz,
If you let me download it, I would put it up on one of my other domains. That way we could let a web server host it and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

[chaz]

ok, ur pm'ed

[em99010pepe]

chaz,

I'm interested in the windows version of IBM java sdk 1.4.

[chaz]

ok it works now port 50000 lol

was not set to allow server-server transfer, now it is... all is well

[Madcat]

IBM SDK 1.4.1 for windows is out now. Unfortunately it doesn't have a seperate installer like the last one. At least not in the newest version of webshpere 6 I downloaded. They may have tools for repacking and installing it like in 1.3 though.

[em99010pepe]

ok it works now port 50000 lol

was not set to allow server-server transfer, now it is... all is well

I finished the download. Thanks.

I'm now running the UBERO´s project and it's quicker. I had to start UBERO's in a dos window with the following command: java -Xms64m -Xmx150m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text but I want to start it by using the runUbero.bat. Where I should right the latter command in the agent.cfg file?

[chaz]

Create a shorcut to runUbero.bat , and in the target line I have this

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java14\jre\bin\java.exe" -showversion -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text

Your target may differ, but you can add the latter switches to the end of the target line.

[Bionic_Redneck]

yea that work good but -showversion isn't really needed and I would add the memory flags in there too or do they not make a difference is speed?

I got gentoo on another computer.. a tbird 1.4 it just doesn't seem to be as fast as the XP but of course it's 140mhz slower but didn't expect that to make much of a difference maybe the higher fsb makes some difference too.

[chaz]

I dont know about the memory flags, never used them....

I put the showversion in there because I was switching back and forth between versions and just wanted to be sure what was running in case I lost track of what was where.......

[Jeff]

I now have IBM's Java SDK 1.4.0 hosted on AMDUsers.com Thanks to Chaz for giving me the file.

You can download it here:
http://amdusers.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=13

[em99010pepe]

I can say that this IBM's Java SDK 1.4.0 is indeed fast.

[em99010pepe]

Before installing the IBM's Java SDK 1.4.0 I was doing 200 assignments a day. Now, after installing it, I'm doing above 300 assignments.
My stats (http://www.ubero.com/memberstats.asp?member=em99010pepe).

[Jeff]

are you still running 1.1ghz?

[Bionic_Redneck]

might actually break 400 with linux. There are a few distros that have live cd's now that allow you to run linux from cd instead of installing it to hd but the only one I tried is suse but you can't add packages to it and comes with sun java but i heard you can add packages to knoppix but can't confirm that. I suppose it adds a file to windows partition to store setting and to store any packages you decide to add.

[em99010pepe]

are you still running 1.1ghz?

Yes.


At the beginning I was making 160 assignments per day. Then I installed the SUN's Java SDK and went up to 199 assignments.
Now, after installing the IBM's Java SDK, I'm doing up to 300 assignments per day. It's a great improvement!

[em99010pepe]

I'm starting to wonder about 2nd place.... :D

What are we waiting for.

[chaz]

2nd is a loong way off... but we can make a dent in it for sure.
Java 1.4 is definitely faster. I dont think Ill do more than 7k a day, unless i stop SOB altogether. I have 1 that keeps crashing, my bad for picking up another MSI board(K7N2Delta-L). Shouldve stuck with Shuttle.......

2nd place - T-minus 8 months and counting, lol

[em99010pepe]

Hello Guest,

Do you have a name?

[chaz]

yes..

The login/logout process sometimes is a hassle for me, so i dont bother if it gives me trouble.

guess I shouldve stated who i was, my bad :)

The extra 1100 mhz will help, thank you

[em99010pepe]

I'm sorry chaz, I thought it was someone else.



The extra 1100 mhz will help, thank you

OK.

[chaz]

I saw you put another one on, but dont feel obligated in any way, it will be a long road to catch them.

I will love to see the day when uberouno becomes UberoDos. :)

[em99010pepe]

I will love to see the day when uberouno becomes UberoDos. :)

Haha.

I convinced ototero to join AMD Users. I will talk to him to see if his friends are also interested.

Thats great, any and all help is appreciated.

I will be going on vacation in 2 days, I have not decided if I will leave my machines running or not, for safety purposes. I will be gone to Costa Rica for 1 week, and my home will be completely unattended.

[em99010pepe]

Costa Rica? Do you speak spanish? ¿Hablas español?

[chaz]

Costa Rica? Do you speak spanish? ¿Hablas español?

Un pequeno, aprendi un pequeno en la escuela

Sound about right? it's been a while....:)

[em99010pepe]

Entonces entendes un poco de portugués.

For me it's easier to read spanish than writing.

[chaz]

it does take a little time for me to figure it out, im not sure if it is 100% correct all the time, but hopefully they wont mind if i murder their language a bit, :)

Yes i understand, Portuguese seems to be similar somewhat.
I only took it for a year, and the class was very basic, but i think they will understand what im getting at, even if im a little off base.

[em99010pepe]

I have to go. Bye.
(Tenho de ir. Adeus.)

[chaz]

bueno quiza elos haran algo acerca de la charla, eso seria mas facil

hable con usted luego

[em99010pepe]

Chaz,

In UBERO's you have an agent called 1000 and have a cpu speed of 1.0Ghz. Yesterday you made with it 947 assignments. I have an AMD 1.1Ghz and I can only make 350 assignments. Why?

Please read this:

http://us-distributed.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=35

I can't put my UBERO's running in server mode? Can you?

[chaz]

I have done alot of upgrading, but have kept my original client files, thats why the 1000 is turning in so many results, maybe i can change the specs, but i know for sure i cant change its name. That machine is my notebook with a 2.6ghz celeron. None of my clients are the originals anymore, probably the closest one is the 2100, which is an XP1700 running at about 1860mhz.

As for the -server flag, i dont think it works with the IBM version, only the Sun java. In the link you posted, notice the path to the java they're using, looks to me thats what they're using, Sun, not IBM.

[em99010pepe]

I thought that it was possible to use -server flag with the IBM version. Thanks.

[chaz]

I have changed the specs in my config file for the 1000, and restarted the client, but it did not change on the site, so i guess it wont work. i know they are misleading, but it saved me time from reinstalling them all over again. I would have twice as many clients and half of them wouldnt run anyway...Oh the 2400 is correct also, but none of the others.

[em99010pepe]

Don't worry. I thought that you had a special configuration in that agent and I just wanted to know.

[chaz]

I thought that it was possible to use -server flag with the IBM version. Thanks.

I think there may be some memory options you can use, but I dont really know or use them, I believe Bionic or Arminiusc know what they are, but whether the work with the IBM version I do not know.

[em99010pepe]

BR told me to use this command:

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java14\jre\bin\java.exe" -Xms64m -Xmx150m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text

[Bionic_Redneck]

yes the -server flag doesn't work on ibm java the reason is it's already switch on the -Xms64m is the amount of ram it starts with and -Xmx150m is the maxiumum ram to use. you can experiment with the value but that is what works good for me.

[vaughan]

Can anyone help me on this one...

"Unable to find Ubero Agent configuration file. Please re-install the Ubero Agent Software."

Ty

I have already tryed to instale it agin but i can't :? ,

I'm using this command line on the .bat file:

"C:\Program Files\IBM\Java14\bin\java.exe" -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text

[numibesi]

It's working now, for some reason it started again by it self, :D

Ty all.

[Anonymous]

Hi there,
after i read your resulst from comparing sun and IBMs Java
I tried to download it from the net.
But I didn´t see any IBM-Java-link.
Do I need a source and compile it myself ?
Is it just a part from the complete IBM webshepere ?
bye,
Max
