[David Gleich]

Thanks for that! I figured someone else must have run into this but my 
googling and searching efforts were in vain!

Is the time-frame for the next release imminent? I was hoping to use 
juliabox in a class I'm starting next week, but this issue could be 
problematic for many of those students to work around. 

Or, I guess I could try and write a routine that would automatically edit 
their .juliarc file to add it ... hmm...

See https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox/issues/338 for a workaround; this 
should be fixed in the next Julia 0.4.x release.

If he has many cells, it won't be convenient to copy-paste. 
But Juliabox autosaves every several minutes, which already largely prevent 
the lost of code (at least for my speed of coding).

Thanks André!

I'll be very interested to hear more about what you are building on top of 
DistributedArrays.

The API is open and the CLI will be open source in a few weeks. The server 
will likely be partially open sourced in the future.
And any generally applicable changes to the Julia codebase will be 
definitely submitted upstream.

Best,
Iliyan

Hi Iliyan,

I just read your message now. 

Evoqus is a great idea! We are also working on a transparent support for 
Julia computing in the cloud, based on DistributedArrays. We intend to 
include pricing features as you did.

Do you intend to share your code (even partially)?

Congratulations for the work!

For anyone wishing to run large parallel programs I may be able to help - 
I'm working on a cloud computing platform for Julia that takes care of 
provisioning and managing all resources. More info at https://evoqus.com . 

It's currently in beta, get in touch if interested.

[Christopher Fusting]

Hi!

I believe this is my fault. I've been running some items in parallel for 
class. I believe only one session ran away (1+ hours) while the others were 
< 10 minutes. Sorry for the trouble, I didn't realize there was a negative 
impact on others / the infrastructure. In the future I'll run processor 
intensive items on my local machine.

Incidentally I am unable to login to Juliabox now (is this related?). I 
have not backed up my work to github and as such would respectfully request 
the ability to copy my files over if I have been banned from the service. 
Some of them have due dates :).

Cheers,

_Chris

[tanmaykm]

Hi Chris,

a few minutes of running parallel Julia will not really have a negative 
impact.
The parallel programs I was referring to were 100 odd workers each, and 
there were more than one users running similar tasks at some point which 
was too much for a single machine to handle.

Also, we have not banned you or anyone from JuliaBox because of this. :)
Do let us know if you are still unable to login.

Cheers,
Tanmay

Hi,

I'll be giving a hands-on tutorial on Julia next week. I expect about 30 
people in 6th November, from 12h30 to 16h (UTC-3), to use IJulia notebook 
sessions to learn Julia and run some simple parallel code with few Workers. 

Would it be a problem?

Thanks,

perhaps time for an asterisk on the JuliaBox banner:

"The Julia community is doing amazing things. We want you in on it!*"

* ... but not massively in parallel, consuming the resources of the 
community.



there are positives and negatives to this sort of problem ...

the fact that the problem can even arise says great things
about the capabilities of the language and the service.

well done ...

That's actually not a good test, since the inability to get to notebooks is

 Hi, Lars
 Are you using Juliabox with over 20 person or more?

 Once I held hands on at Julia Tokyo with 30+ participants,
 JuliaBox suddenly returns 503.

 Now I access JuliaBox and I see same error.

 I heard JuliaBox is running on Amazon EC2, so I think there are some 
 limitation for number of concurrent users.

Re: [julia-users] Re: Juliabox down?

[Michiaki ARIGA]

Hi Lars,

I can see only empty site, and Google Chrome Console shows following error
message.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/171669/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%202015-09-24%200.16.26.png

When the same problem occurred, people who connect JuliaBox earlier could
use it normally.
But people who connect later, they couldn't use it because of capacity. So
I published my ipython notebook and told them to study at their home :/

Thanks,
Michiaki

Hi Michiaki,

I'm using juliabox only on my machine and there are a few (around 8) 
students in the department here that need to finish some homework. I doubt 
that that should challenge EC2. 

for me the website https://juliabox.org/ is completely empty. No error 
message at all. How does it look for you right now?

Thx,
Lars

Hi, Lars
Are you using Juliabox with over 20 person or more?

Once I held hands on at Julia Tokyo with 30+ participants,
JuliaBox suddenly returns 503.

Now I access JuliaBox and I see same error.

(Service Unavailable: Back-end server is at capacity)

I heard JuliaBox is running on Amazon EC2, so I think there are some
limitation for number of concurrent users.

No you won't have sudo access since that may lead to a broken container.
You can however compile programs in your home directory which will persist
across sessions. If you require some package that might be generally useful
to others as well do open an issue at github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox

Can I install packages with sudo (if so, what's the password), or
should I do this in my home directory there?

Is there an advantage to using GitHub specifically instead of a generic 
OpenID login? (e.g. "Login with [Google] , [Facebook], [GitHub], [Other]").

Cheers,

Re: [julia-users] Re: JuliaBox

[Stefan Karpinski]

Using GitHub for auth actually makes a lot of sense and would allow us to use 
GitHub for persistence unconditionally instead of as an option, which might be 
simpler. Of course then there will always be someone who objects to having a 
GitHub account ;-)

Re: [julia-users] Re: JuliaBox

[Viral Shah]

Basically, JuliaBox gives you hosted IJulia and a persistent filesystem.
So, you are not restricted to your local device. There is also a shell and
ability to sync Google Drive and Github repos, or simply upload your files,
install packages, etc. The reason to do all this is so that one has a great
environment always available through the browser, which can be scaled as
required - more CPU and storage then one can other wise have locally.

The invites are just there to prevent a large surge from taking down the
whole thing for people who are using it regularly, classes, etc. Otherwise,
there is no restriction on invites, behind our ability to respond to
emails. That is why we are streamlining the whole invite thing next.

Re: [julia-users] Re: JuliaBox

[SVAKSHA]

Quite understandable (re own auth system). Its just that giving google
access everywhere makes me uncomfortable. TBH, I dont have anything
specific in mind but off the top of my head there is the github
API(?).

Before asking for an invite, I'd like to know if juliabox is more of a
data analytics platform - as in, can users upload data temporarily and
install a few Julia libs? I'm trying to write something like this[0]
in Julia but my machine chokes on the size of the gff files. I had
asked this on irc but didnt get a reply, and the google signup aside,
I didnt see the point of wasting invites :)

Re: [julia-users] Re: JuliaBox

We will get around to this once we get a basic level of scalability and 
robustness. Which one would you like? We are not excited about managing our 
own login/authentication system, but are happy to provide multiple options. 
Of course, we are accepting code contributions. :-)

[julia-users] Re: JuliaBox

[Viral Shah]

Just to add, we are going to get rid of the invite codes soon. Basically, 
the system should be open to anyone, and invites will be throttled and 
processed with some delay (say a day) if there is a Hacker News surge going 
on.

We are experimenting with this and hope it will be ready to roll out in the 
next couple of weeks. In the meanwhile, please just share the code Shashi 
posted here or use it yourself, but please do not post it publicly in 
places that will send us a huge amount of traffic right away. Once the 
invite system is up and running, we will be able to handle that. Shashi and 
me sending codes individually is just not going to work much longer. :-)

the Sagemath Cloud google chrome app also gets users to a rich environment 
for Julia ...

users can run Julia inside a terminal ... OR ... via iJulia notebooks ... 
OR ... via Sagemath worksheets.
