Online Software Timing Tests for Large Scale Tests 2004:
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
Result files are under /afs/cern.ch/user/a/atlonl/public/LST04/results/processed
and can be viewed with gv; The last plots in the file contain the summary
information on the transitions for all partitions.
known problem:The last page 'successful measurements per run versus partition size'
is not correct.

all: no OBK, no DDC

res400to1000ctrleli.ps
----------------------
run during the day; Wednesday 10. March; max 146 hosts; 5 cycles per partition
first test series; large fluctuation and increased values for boot time from 6
50 ctrls on; timeout parameter was not large enaugh and increased in local play_daq

res10to100ctrldoris.ps
----------------------
run during the day; controllers only;  8.March; max 111 hosts
O.K. ~ 5 cycles per partition


res50to1000ctrldoris.ps
-----------------------
night tests ;12. March ; controllers only;  max. 146 hosts;  ORB parameters set; O.K.


timing_results_50to1000_mon.ps
------------------------------
night test; Monday 15.March; controllers, one  monitoring task per local controller
to be startet at boot time and one monitoring sampler per detector controller to be
 started user defined (so not yet started);  mo max 216 hosts; ORB parameters set
Close time: quasi constant from 200 ctrls on until 800 ctrls, then steep increase!!??
shutdown timeout of 30s at 700 ctrls reached

timing_test_mon_50to1000Tuesday.ps
----------------------------------
night test Monday Tuesday 16. March;   ORB parameters set
second night mon partitions; complete cleanup and start of agents before starting 
controllers, one  monitoring task per local controller to be startet at boot time
and one monitoring sampler per detector controller to be started user defined (so
not yet started); ORB parameters set
Close time: quasi constant from 200 ctrls on until 800 ctrls, then steep increase!!??
shutdown timeout of 30s at 700 ctrls reached

timing_result_mon_50-1000Thursday.ps
------------------------------------
night test Thursday 18th; max 216 hosts;  ORB parameters set;
controllers, one  monitoring task per local controller to be startet at boot time
and one monitoring sampler per detector controller to be started user defined (so
not yet started); ORB parameters set
improved configuration access after patch 4
Close time: quasi constant from 200 ctrls on until 800 ctrls, then steep increase!!??
shutdown timeout of 30s at 700 ctrls reached (need a 'dsa_stop-supervisor,
meanwhile available under /afs...atlonl/eli)

timing_result_rdb_friday_doris.ps
---------------------------------
night test Friday 19th; controllers only; max 145 hosts;  ORB parameters set
 ORB parameters set
shutdown values largely scattered; network problem? to be investigated; a number of test cycles not finished; interesting scatter plots;



timing_results_rdb_saturday_doris.ps
------------------------------------
night test Saturday 20th ;  controllers only; max 145 hosts;  ORB parameters set
 ORB parameters set
shutdown values largely scattered; network problem? to be investigated; a number of test cycles not finished; interesting scatter plots;


timing_results_Tuesday_mon_GB_corbaloc.ps
-----------------------------------------
monitoring partitions run using corbaloc for ipc, on the
GB farm (only) on 120 hosts ; good results
scattering redulced very significantly as compared to  previous test;
no lost test runs for the upper half of the partitions (the large configurations) but 11 missing for the smaller partitions
for 20-50:
 1021  controllers, 1000 mon samplers, 20 mon. tasks
 boot: ~95 s, warm start 2 s, close 5 s,
