compserv / hivemind Goto Github PK

I need to check what index they go up to. Also, some are Windows and therefore not running sshd.

Currently servers are ordered by load (ascending), then by hostname, alphabetically. While the least-loaded computers are placed at the top, many visitors will be looking for specific groups of computers (hive*, s277*, s275*, s341*, ashby / cory / derby ssh gateways).

In particular, certain classes (i.e. 161, 184) require software on specific machines, but the current ordering places unloaded computers first, and separates all of the ssh gateway machines (which have non-uniform street names like cory.eecs, ashby.cs, cedar.cs, derby.cs, gilman.cs, hearst.cs, solano.cs, oxford.cs, ward.cs).

For this purpose, I'm considering some kind of non-alphabetical ordering first, load second, in SQL terms a GROUP BY before SORT BY load ASC, either implicitly (no group headers) or with explicit grouping on the website.

We still want to maintain the current search functionality across all servers, however.

The website seems to report a lot of the machines are unavailable when it's still possible to connect to some of them. I've tired this with cory, hive1, and hive2.

The servers listed on the hivemind website include only eda-[1-4] despite backend/servers.txt being updated in the Git repository to include eda-[5-11] on January 18 -- did someone forget to update the actual backend?

These instructional servers will be used for CS152/252A this semester (and iirc EECS 151/251A) as well
