After many months waiting for computers, I am now ready to start an installation of Sage for all the undergraduate students of my University.
We will have a maximum of about 250 simultaneous connections. Be prepared to read a lot of questions on this list ! The material: I have 3 Sun V40Z machines (each one as 32 GB of RAM, 4 dual core processors). It is a sort of revamped material, robust and not expensive. My first questions: ================== 1) My idea is to launch 8 Sage servers on each machine (as many as core processors); each server will listen on a different port. Then I will manage a web server. The home page will redirect the students at random on one of the 3x8 servers. The identification is made on the Ldap (actually Active Directory :-( ) of the University. What do you think of that ? Ldap authentification is working fine. 2) File sharing: nowadays the worksheets are located in .sage/sage_notebook/worksheets/ I would like to put them on an nfs share (mounted on all the 3 machines). What do you think of that? Is there any incompatibility ? Yours, Very sincerely Thierry Dumont. ------------- French universities are on a permanent strike!
