The Deimos Project

Another idea... how about project totals?
If it was possible to detect how many GHz each processor/core is running, then it could be added in the Hardware tab the total ammount of GHz of the project's participants (or maybe one scale up to Thz?).

And the same could be done with the ammount of RAM people have too, and the number of cores.

For example
"The project has..."
- 100 active participants
- 200 CPU's
- 600 cores
- 1600 GHz
- 1200 Gb RAM

"Deimos is also coming back to Windows 2000"


Great news........

Thanks,

Pete

O.K, a number of issues with Windows 2000. First off it complained about a couple of missing dll files, msvcr71 and msvcp71. I copied those from another computer but now it says " This system does not support OpenSSL"

Pete

I got it installed, the taskbar icon came up but it wouldn't connect to the server. I went into services and Deimos was in there but it hadn't started. So I manually started the service but after a few seconds it stopped, I repeated this several times but the service just stops right away. There's no crash or anything , anyway, I'm going to try a different Windows 2000 machine in a few minutes.

Thanks,

Pete

Here's the log from Win2000 machine.

I can confirm that the service stops after a few seconds according to the application log. Still getting a user/password error. I'm going to install Deimos on a more modern XP machine, maybe the hardware in those older machines is the problem?

Pete

O.K, installed on XP machine "mercedes" without any problems. Accepted my user name and password and that machine has shown up in the database . The XP machine that gave me the username/password error last night is also pretty ancient, a Pentium 2 450 if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately, I only install Windows 2000 if the machine won't run XP so I won't have anything suitable to test the Win2000 version of Deimos at this time.

BTW, I was able to get into the dashboard on the Win2000 machine and the CPU info was just nonsense although it recognised the memory, network card and Hard Disk O.K.

Thanks,

Pete

Not 100% certain, but I think they are SP4. I'll check one of them out later this evening.

Thanks,

Pete

Further update.....

Success with this machine

http://www.deimos-project.net/stats/view/350Z/79304169

This one has an AMD k6/2 CPU which has been ID'd correctly, as has the rather unusual motherboard. Problem would seem to be with older Intel CPU's. (both in WinXP and Win2000)

EDIT, Unfortunately The service stopped before It sent any snapshots.

And Finally, the log from a Windows XP machine with Pentium 2 CPU.

Confirmed list of features for 0.8.30:

- Alternative keystroke counting method for people with problems
- Setting for how long to remember keystroke/mouse activity for heatmaps
- Enable/disable certain statistics for people who don't want all the statistics
- Hard disk statistics
- Keyboard/mouse heatmap at website
- Automatic update

The plan is to extend the global statistics currently at the website to the teams. With other words: full list of teammembers with rank per network/uptime/keyboard/mouse statistics.

What kind of virtualization does Deimos detect? VMWare... Xen... Hyper-V... etc... or maybe all of them?

It would be cool to see on the website how many VMs there are registered in total, and how many of each kind.

Xen, Qemu and Virtualbox are detected. Vmware is only detected in 32-bit.

More website improvements are first on the way before 0.8.30 is released.
