Hi Michael, /awips2/cave/ is locally mounted, on each SSD. Only the home directories are NFS-mounted. Multiple sessions of CAVE are run as different users (i.e. students are each logged in to Linux with their own user account), meaning that you’re correct, no two users should be reading/writing to the same ~/caveData directory at the same time. I will try turning off data cacheing and see if that alleviates the problem. -Jason From: Michael James <mjames@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 10:52 AM To: Kaiser, Jason N. <jason.kaiser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: awips2-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [awips2-users] EDEX to CAVE latency with multiple simultaneous users Hi Jason, I don't believe that CAVE using an NFS-mounted user home directory should result in the performance issues you are experiencing, but I wonder if multiple users running the same CAVE executable over NFS could cause this... is that how the application is being used? (meaning /awips2/cave/ is on an NFS mount and each users is running the app from that mount?). In our classrooms we have seen no issues with multiple CAVE clients connecting to a single server and I have not seen network latency caused by multiple clients connecting at the same time. Can we confirm that the multiple session of CAVE are run as different users, meaning no two users would be reading/writing the same ~/caveData directory at the same time? Perhaps turning off data cacheing (CAVE > Preferences > Cache) would reduce the latency to an acceptable level?
