Dear list members, Sorry for the completely empty mail a few minutes ago. What can i say, it's sunday and i had way less sleep than i should. But here the good news. The live scoreboard was modified. There is now a new column which shows the number of completed runs per IP and also at the bottom a value which displays the total sum of systems who completed at least 1 run. The board: http://128.174.241.211:443/relay_scoreboard Thanks for your attention. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / … [View More]

How effective is "NumCPUs"?
by Alexander Dietrich 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hello, a relay I'm running is currently at about 0.80 load average. It has a dual-core CPU and I have configured "NumCPUs 2". I'm still in the process of finding the bandwidth limit. Should I keep increasing "RelayBandwidthRate" on the single Tor process, or is it a better idea to start a second process? (Also, does a second process need its own identity, or can it use the existing one?) Best regards, Alexander -- PGP Key: 0xC55A356B | https://dietrich.cx/pgp

Re: [tor-relays] Would be good if Tor were more multithreaded.

I've added "numCPUs 2" to torrc and restarted via the init script. It does not seem to have made a difference. I presume that's where/how it should have been added? The FAQ says it doesn't do multi-core well. Seems unfortunate - multi-core is everywhere, now.

Here's where top hangs out on Libero. Seems it would be a better situation if Tor would actually use the second core. top - 12:05:07 up 5 days, 21:35, 1 user, load average: 0.33, 0.43, 0.34 Tasks: 130 total, 2 running, 128 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu0 : 47.2%us, 21.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 17.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 13.8%si, 0.3%st Cpu1 : 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1914136k total, 718704k used, 1195432k free, 139588k buffers … [View More]

Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes
by Sebastian Urbach 24 Jan '14

Dear list members, Some relay operators asked if it would be useful to run the script multiple times on the same system. The short answer is yes. It was unclear if enough operators would be willing to help with the script even one time. No one expected that there would be operators who like to do more than one run :-) Thats awesome ! Multiple runs could show temporal routing changes and therefore valuable new information. The value for multiple runs will be implemented into the live … [View More]

Hi Alexander A Tor daemon running with numCPU2s is better than a single daermon on each core because there is less "overhead". You can also get a great boost by enabling AES-NI hardware encryption if you don't have it already ... This is the best docu available afaik: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#aes-ni_crypto_acceleration -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Sincerely yours Sebastian Urbach ---------------------------------------------- Those who would give up essential … [View More]

by hyoseok Lee 23 Jan '14

Hi I am junior student in Sungkyunkwan University,South Korea I am studying Tor for my paper In my research, onion router has to report its bandwidth by sending descriptor to authority directory. and then authority directory verifies onion router's bandwidth [Question 1] I hope to know the way how authority directory verifies bandwidth which came from onion router. I was told that authority directory had bandwidth verifying tool called bandwidth scanner. How can I get source code of … [View More]

Dear Tor relay operators, We have recently received a good rate of participation by relay operators to our measurement project. To give everyone an idea of the current participation rate we have hosted a live scoreboard of all our participants, available at http://128.174.241.211:443/relay_scoreboard The live scoreboard highlights all the IPs from which we received traceroute results along with the current status of the script running in their machine. The … [View More]
