The New World is 3D Virtual World built on OpenSim OpenSource technology ! Come and join us !

Real load test 4th of may

A mass load test is planned this tuesday4th of may 2010 19.30 UTC / 12.30 PDT on the main New World Grid grid in order to test performance and possibilities of this new OpenSimulator 0.6.8 version which the grid has been updated to this saturday.

Feel free to invite people, our goal being to go over the 62 simultaneous avatars in real conditions.

How to participate to the test ?

If you don’t have a New World Grid account, you can create on here.

The test will happen on a region which name will be given later. In order to make the test successful, we may limit access to the test region during the various test steps to observe the simulator and avoid an premature overload.

The test region will be connected to the New World public web chat.

No Hypergrid access is provided, for now.

Programme of the test

For this first test, we will observe the evolution of a simulator constituted of a unique region, by steps, and in normal conditions of use : avatars moving, use of sits, animations, scripts, etc…

First, we will let 40 avatars in for a duration of about 15 to 30 minutes.

Then we’ll reopen access and test 60 avatars during 15 to 30 minutes.

Finally, we will reopen the region without limit until the simulator eventually crashes.

Many other performance tests will be scheduled during the next weeks.
