The Amazing Collective Compute Power of the Ambient Cloud

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:11:23 GMT

High Scalability

This is an excerpt from my article Building Super Scalable Systems: Blade Runner Meets Autonomic Computing in the Ambient Cloud.

Earlier we talked about how a single botnet could harness more compute power than our largest super computers. Well, that's just the start of it. The amount of computer power available to the Ambient Cloud will be truly astounding.

php curl s3 tarzan select/poll returning error

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 11:27:33 GMT

ok for the last couple of days i've been blighted by an odd error that is affecting the staging server of one of my sites. i've been using the awesome AWS framework Tarzan to send files to S3 and everything was running fine up to christmas. i left for the christmas break and had a great time etc, but came back and the site no longer worked.

after much searching and debugging i finally tracked the problem down to curl producing this error "select/poll returning error". not tremendously helpful and no response seemed to be coming back either which really puzzled me*. thing is the code worked absolutely fine on my local machine.

anyway fruitless google searches, i decided to download the latest version of tarzan and just test a file upload in isolation on the staging server. what a good idea THAT was. it immediately gave me a skewed time error, which as it turns out, was the problem causing the uploads to fail.

the system time on my staging server had become 15 minutes out of sync with amazon's server time. as soon as i update my server's time to The Actual Time™ my uploads started working again.

Now I don't my server to lose track of time again so I did a little research found out about a neat wee app that keeps time for you called NTP and here's how you install it ...

$ sudo yum install ntp

$ sudo /usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org

$ sudo /sbin/service ntpd start

i'm going to go and relax with a coffee now

* when i use words like puzzled or tricky, what i mean is i was screaming, shouting and throwing things across the room in a primeval rage
