Posted 27 Oct 2006 by Tomas Post: When a PC can download a WU when it has uploaded one then there will be no "dead time" but with the restriction "maximum number of workunits per time" the work will be spread across more boxes because there will be the automatic delay of the running time of one WU ;-) |

Posted 27 Oct 2006 by Tomas Post: @Tomas Keck Komputers writes: "to send no more than 5 results per scheduler RPC" and "the host wait 10 minutes before getting more work" to slow down the download to give others the chance to download work. This would allow the PC to grab a lot of work - slower than in the moment - but possible. I would prefer that there are only a fixed number (say 5) of workunits (of this project) on a PC at a time. Before the PC loads another workunit it must upload a workunit. This is more restrictive but will not slow down activities of fast PCs. I hope you agree anyway :-) |

Posted 27 Oct 2006 by Tomas Post: Again, read the thread (and others) before asking for work! let me call it "maximum number of workunits per time" - no grabbing of everything, better distribution of work - no slowdown for the project if PC is out of work - the PC can hold the deadline because it does not have to much WUs |

Posted 25 Oct 2006 by Tomas Post: Again, read the thread (and others) before asking for work! I prefer something like this: One PC can download max. 5 (or so, depending on the time it will take to crunch) workunits at a time. After reporting a workunit it can download another unit but to the maximum of 5 workunits at a time. This will help against "everything-grabber" but will not slow down the crunching of the workunits if one PC is out of work. :-D |
