Below is a snapshot of the 48 hour running window
of graphs generated by the enhanced tellerstats
shell scripts. This particular snapshot was chosen
to demonstrate a small experiment. Note the huge
spikes in the system load average plot. They were
generated with a script that compiles the Linux 2.6.7
kernel in a loop, with the commands
make -j3 MAKE='make =j3' clean;\
make -j3 MAKE='make =j3' bzlilo;\
make -j3 MAKE='make =j3' modules
The effect was to keep the load average above 8
for more than 30 minutes. The effects (or lack of
them) on system voltages and temperatures is
visible in the resulting graphs.
(A new graph, generated October 3rd, and unrelated
to the others, has been added. The graph shows 5 inside
and 3 outside temperature probes and data generated via
a Crystalfontz CFA-633 device.)
