You are telling it to load 90g?
2018-11-02 00:09:39
Rotonen
no, that's the RSS size at the time of hitting the heap limit

Rotonen
i was pulling a 128GB field into memory as a memfield and previously never hit the heap size, usually gave it like 135G or 140G max heap size
2018-11-02 00:10:55
Rotonen
i was watching it in a split screen and saw the RSS crawl up as it read off the disk and the miner pooped out at 90G pulled into ram
2018-11-02 00:11:17
Rotonen
i'm a bit puzzled as to how it thinks it cannot when the heap size is set higher
2018-11-02 00:13:46
Rotonen
oh well i'll let it fscache, although that'll take ridiculously long to have everything cached up

Fireduck
Jvm is weird
2018-11-02 00:19:24
Rotonen
ah well, it's more fun watching the iowait percentage drop down as fscache gets more and more populated
2018-11-02 00:19:40
Rotonen
also a faster feedback cycle on theadcount tweaks, so sorta a win
2018-11-02 00:22:57
Rotonen
i guess the field needs to be like 5/6 in fscache for significant speedups from extra ram?

I don't know, I'm just the janitor

it's actually faster to grep the snowfield and start mining than to memfield it :stuck_out_tongue:

@Fireduck thank you, that does well enough

i love this duck. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Never use a smart hammer when a dumb one will do
2018-11-02 20:14:02
Rotonen
hammer time?

Fireduck
I'm thinking about adding some actual useful stats to Arktika
2018-11-02 20:15:40
Fireduck
but having a hard time reasoning about if I need to get clever to avoid synchronization across cores for metrics
2018-11-02 20:15:59
Fireduck
or if an AtomicLong is going to be fast enough
2018-11-02 20:16:09
Rotonen
you need to get clever
2018-11-02 20:16:21
Fireduck
yeah, that is what I figure
2018-11-02 20:16:28
Fireduck
which is fine, I don't mind doing it
2018-11-02 20:50:59
Fireduck
@Rotonen you are right, 60M writes per second to AtomicLong, 650M writes per second if each thread gets its own AtomicLong
2018-11-02 21:00:56
Fireduck
and there it is
2018-11-02 22:00:23
Rotonen
@Fireduck thank you for metrifying
2018-11-02 22:03:11
Fireduck
It might take me a bit. Turns out arktika was written by a crazy person.

Fireduck
It isn't that bad, but it is necessarily complex due to the layers
2018-11-02 22:31:32
Rotonen
yeah, to be fair, the only bits i've actually so far looked at are to do with the config parsers
