### vac:dst:
- `wakurtosis:vac:retrospective-rlog`
- Reviewed comments; soon to publish
- `wakurtosis:vac:rlog`
- Analysis of new Wakurtosis simulations regarding the 600 nodes anomaly
- Analysis of K8 simulations regarding the 600 nodes anomaly
- `analysis-shadow:vac:shadow-gossipsub-analysis`
- worked on Topology slices
- (added more RAM to the server)
- `analysis-shadow:waku:shadow-waku-relay-analysis`
- Run 600 nodes NWaku Shadow simulations with and without load
- `analysis:nomos:simulation-analysis`
- The network delay/bandwidth tuning, readjusting the probabilities, none of them helped. The bug(s) cannot be side-steped in any meaningful way.
- New issue: for > 10 views, the disk usage blows up. *1.7 TERABYTES* ; and the output is just text files! This was quite unexpected; we now have yet another scalability issue with the nomos sim.
- spent couple of days on the Rust code and worked on adjustments. None of them helped with the bug.
- `analysis-gsub-model:vac:refactoring`
- Tuned/cleanedup to the control messages code
- `eng-10ktool:vac:bandwidth-test` :
- Machines are no longer blocked
- Added Kubernetes network policies to void having machines blocked.
2023-11-13 19:18:11 +00:00
