That's Alot of Servers! Distributed Computing.
The New Machine:
- Added a new machine for hosting servers up 24/7
- Installed a new os, so that everything is fresh and stable
- Installed a new M.2 for greatly enhanced performance.
- Integrated both, so that each machine works together.
- Increased map count drastically
- Maps up 24/7 are Aberration, Ragnarok, and Club Ark.
- If anyone is on these servers, The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction, and Genesis Part 1 automatically open.
- Further, if someone is actively in club ark, two more maps will open.
- Two rotations are present.
- The Center and Valguero now alternate daily.
- Astraeos and Lost Colony also alternate daily.
- If the map online is not desired, you can now request another as it was before.
- Requestable only maps are also still present.
Reduced Lag:
- Found numerous sources of lag on the new machine
- Resolved lag from redundant processes
- Removed most of a redundant process, and replaced it with another
Optimized the process further, so that only a fraction of the work remains, resulting in a major optimization and reduced compute required.
Work Continues
- Planned upgrade to the new machine to increase performance further.
- Further work is planned to fully fix and squash bugs resulting from splitting servers between two machines
