Some time ago, Rick Genter (reg@vaxine) took a survey to find
out who had the highest load averages. The winner at that time was
sdcssu3 with a l.a. of 58. Well, move over, folks, here comes pucc-k;
here's an excerpt from "ruptime" run on 12/8/83 @ 5 pm:
k up 8:36, 49 users, load 63.69, 56.74, 50.80
That's what the blind fear of finals week can do for you...

Last year toward the end of the winter quarter the CS compiler class (200+ students strong, on a machine whose password file had over 2500 entries) drove the load average to over 100 on sdccsu3 (a large 11/780). I suspect it got even higher that that, but I went to bed (this was around 2 am one morning). This year that class is on a new vax 11/750 ALL BY THEMSELVES! Measures are being taken so that a repeat of those load averages will not occur this winter. (Thanks to the 4.2 BSD ipc system!!). Keith Muller UCSD Computer Center
