|
||||
The BOINC server software is designed so that a project
|
||||
with tens of thousands of volunteers can run on a single server computer.
|
||||
However, the capacity of this computer may eventually be exceeded.
|
||||
Symptoms of server overload include:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> dropped connections
|
||||
<li> slow web site access
|
||||
<li> daemons fall behind
|
||||
<li> database queries take minutes or hours to complete.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
BOINC has a scalable server architecture that lets
|
||||
you increase server capacity by adding more computers.
|
||||
The steps are as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Run MySQL on a separate host</h3>
|
||||
When you initially create a BOINC project using
|
||||
<a href=make_project.php>make_project</a>,
|
||||
everything runs on a single host:
|
||||
web server, scheduling server, daemons, tasks, database server,
|
||||
file upload handler.
|
||||
MySQL database server,
|
||||
web server, scheduling server, daemons, tasks,
|
||||
and file upload handler.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can increase the capacity of your server by spreading
|
||||
these tasks across different hosts.
|
||||
The following rules apply:
|
||||
Of these tasks, the MySQL server does the most work
|
||||
(typically as much as all the others combined).
|
||||
So, if you need to increase the capacity of your server
|
||||
the first step is to move the MySQL server to a separate host
|
||||
(preferably a fast computer with lots of memory).
|
||||
Specify this host in the
|
||||
<a href=project_options.php>project configuration file</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Run server daemons and tasks on multiple hosts</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you need more server capacity,
|
||||
you can move some of the server <a href=project_daemons.php>daemons</a>
|
||||
and <a href=project_tasks.php>tasks</a> to separate hosts.
|
||||
(Start by moving the one that's doing the most work).
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you move daemons and tasks to other hosts,
|
||||
those hosts must satisfy the following rules:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> The hosts should share a common network file system,
|
||||
and path of the project directory, on any host,
|
||||
should map to the same place.
|
||||
(Exception: the database server can run anywhere).
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The <a href=groups.php>project admin account</a>
|
||||
should exist on all hosts,
|
||||
and that user should be able to use 'ssh' to run
|
||||
must exist on all hosts,
|
||||
and a user must be able to use 'ssh' to run
|
||||
commands on any other host without typing a password.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The hosts must share a common network file system,
|
||||
and path to the project directory relative to the
|
||||
project admin's home directory (typically ~/projects/PROJECT_NAME)
|
||||
must be the same on all hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
<li> One host is designated as the project's <b>main host</b>

||||

<li> Your web server runs on the host to which your project URL is mapped.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Parallelize schedulers and daemons</h3>
|
||||
If you need even more server capacity,
|
||||
you can parallelize most of the BOINC daemons
|
||||
so that multiple instances run on a single (multiprocessor) host,
|
||||
or on different hosts.
|
||||
For example, the following
|
||||
<a href=project_daemons.php>config.xml</a> entries
|
||||
run two instances of the transitioner on the host 'kosh'.
|
||||
Because these instances are on the same host,
|
||||
you must specify different output and PID files.
|
||||
".html_text("
|
||||
<daemon>
|
||||
<host>kosh</host>
|
||||
<cmd>transitioner -d 1 -mod 2 0</cmd>

<output>transitioner0.log</output>

<pid_file>transitioner1.pid</pid_file>
|
||||
</daemon>
|
||||
")."
|
||||
You can run scheduling servers on multiple hosts
|
||||
by running an instance of the feeder on each host,
|
||||
and including the URLs in your master file.
