A dashboard... but what for?

Here's a little bit of fun. There's a new dashboard in the San Rafael office, but what does it show?

Dashboard

Post your guess as a comment: the closest โ€“ or most humorous, depending on my mood โ€“ will win a free "Iโ™ฅ3D" Autodesk T-shirt (I'll contact the winner to get their size).

And when I say humorous that doesn't mean rude or insulting. Please keep it clean & polite, people. ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. Is the dashboard monitoring the service that generates the models displayed by Autodesk 360 view?

    It's monitoring the fancy coffee machine in the kitchen. The failed service requests are from when it fails to deliver water hot enough for me to brew a mug of tea.

  3. Ummmm...it is a low failure system, 3439 work jobs in 24 hours is much for a coffee machine at the office, ummmmm...7.7 seconds is something reasonably quick. There is a short period of time, say about 1 hour in 24 hours range that shows intensive activity. There is a period of low activity probably overnight. It must be the access count of Kean's Blog!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Is it showing processing of some form of point cloud(s)?
    That second monitor to the right looks like it's running ReCap, and the room it's in is being recorded.

  5. It could be the number of commits for three.js based on the new A360 viewer.

    or It could be a vibration study of the floor deflections caused by the trucks hauling out the money A360 will bring it.

    I can't squint enough too see clearly.... need more power.

  6. What do we see in this picture?
    I guess, this monitor belongs to the pc (maybe named "The Philosoph"?), that calculates the answer to "Deep Thought's" answer (which was "42"), (to the question: "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything").
    I hope, the calculation doesn't last for 7,5 million years - and is not like "31".
    Don't panic

  7. looks like dashboard monitoring the brain activity of the Autodesk departments.
    The first one from the top, developers team department. a lot of work, brain activity is ok.
    The second, support team. Not too much work, cause the have a lot of template answers )))
    The third one is for monitoring the "bugfix" department. The best brain activity, cause they have to understand what developers wanted to create and make it work without product crash.
    The 4-th schedule is an activity of head office ))). mb, they selebrate the purchase of this dashboard, because nobody used the connector on the neck to join matrix ))))

  8. Stats from the AutoCAD build/regression test server?

  9. Looks like it's monitoring Shaan Hurley's movements around the globe. I figure he's good for ยฑ4000 work items at a 98.84% success rate per day.

  10. Service stats for last 24 hours

    1. I win right???

      1. Sorry, unfortunately not, James ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. It looks like Lynn Allen's altimeter. Spikes are clearly in-flight.

  12. Kean I think i got it right on LinkedIn ...:)

    1. You did, Elango, but an hour after the follow-up post revealed the answer. And you're an Autodesk employee, so I'm unfortunately going to exclude you on that basis, too.

      But I'd be happy to buy you a coffee or a beer next time I'm in Singapore. ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. I did not see your IO blog , But i attended ACES presentation by Albert ... so when i saw workitem and queue its a easy guess for me ๐Ÿ™‚

        1. Yes, that certainly gave you an advantage. But the offer of a beverage still stands. ๐Ÿ™‚

          1. Great !! Waiting for that ....

  13. Just a summary for my late reply... It would be the new AutoCAD I/O API dashboard next to Albert Szilvasy office. The web service (autocad.io/api/v1) uses a new single-threaded AcCore instance (stacked work items in the queue would say that). This web service Container had 3439+40 WorkItems and unknown Activities, and time to process this aggressive test was (3439+40) * (7.71s+0.31s) / 3600s = 7.75h.

    I like the view to see up to the sunny hill anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. It is indeed a great view. I used to work in the "Coppertop" building at the top of that hill (or the one next to it, anyway).
