Here, hold my beer and watch this

Paah, 50% more load and the server has gone into melt down. Take a bow, Bryan, now known as the destroyer of servers and punisher of boastful admins

Note to self; 6.6M/day is okay ... 7.6M/day not so much

Dead disks apparently. I am sure it was my laptop that pushed it over the edge
New server being brought online. Gentlemen, prepare to batter the server again

I hope this server doesn't get as "bored" as the last one did before it died

Bwahahahaha, words that can really come back to haunt you.

In case it vanishes, this is what the admin said.

Hi all, being one of the users that have 1000+ instances of the app running, I would like to receive a formal statement from the admin about what is expected and allowed in this regard


From a scientific standpoint the admin should be happy that so much extra work is being done.


on the one hand I know that the multi instances is not fair, but on the other hand, all my applications are NCI because of this the more WU in progress the better at this moment.
I know I banned some user for multi-instances <- they are unBanned from now.

assuming that the servers are able to handle the additional load


That server handle more that 80k WU in progress for two apps with average load 3-4 on 4c/8t and 32Gb rams, so it's no load for that kind of hardware <- that was the record. Now after people don't use massive multi instances we have 4 apps and about 50k I have load 2-3 so server is bored now. HardWare is no problem for now. If server will have to much work to do I just will (a little) decrease daily wu quota.
My new server solutions from february 2017 will be good enough for that kind of apps.
