ICLOUDS version 2.0 available for download.

The software has evolved to the version 2.0. This version incorporates bury and cascade routines and has improved logging. Get it from downloads page http://code.google.com/p/iclouds/downloads/list.

Okay, some progress in the code quality.

Among other things I've cleaned up Checkstyle warnings and get overall number of issues about 82. Most of these are low priority and false-positive issues found by FindBugs and PMD.

Just finished all of my plots:

Finishing figures for the thesis

Being busy couple of days running experiments...

Beware of Windows-style line endings.

I set up and run about 10 experiments over last night to investigate the cascade behavior. Everything went wrong! Each of the runs! Why? Because each parameters line in the shell script was ending with windows ^M symbol and Apache CLI library somehow didn't get that this is the line end. I've got all runs with cascade on and d/h ratio 0.5. Nice...

Adding some unique information in the log seems to be crucial.

Just realized the urge of unique meaningful id in the each of the log files. It looks messy without it now, I'm kind of lost among couple of dozens of run logs.

Decide to add run time stamp along with name of config used:

## current setup: running at Friday, April 13, 2007, 10:11:40 AM HST,
config used: config_O3_2000.xml

Fixed parameters setUp in the code.

Finally get to organize parameter passing through the code. All parameters are standardized now by fixed constants set and there will be no mess anymore. Also fixed all broken tests.
Cost? 6 hours:
