Re: Break in AutoDock (FAAH) Work Units

@Uplinger: Please consider upping the limit for max no of tasks outstanding per core, currently set at 25. I think that limit was set at a time when the length of FAHV WUs was very unpredictable, the average length was longer, and occasionally this was causing WUs to miss their return deadline.
Now there will be no more for a while of the faah WUs to pad out the cache length, and FAHV WUs are much shorter and much better-behaved, so the limit makes a joke of the work cache setting in our BOINC clients.
At the start of yesterday's outage, my machines were maxed out on WUs per core but some machines started running out of work after only about 14 hours.


FYI, I have increased the the max from 25 to 35. I'm hesitant to increase it further because OET1 is not able to be sized. Also, we are looking into increasing the runtime for FAHV which should help keep your machines busy.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Re: Break in AutoDock (FAAH) Work Units

Please do increase the runtime for FAHV.
Combine 3 or so workunits into one (if possible).

Re: Break in AutoDock (FAAH) Work Units

Work units are not combined for FAHV, it's how many dockings being packaged in one job, the max being 250 IIRC, but that could be a AutoDock number. Realize the runtime effect on Android pretty please if 3x... It's why they were cut relatively short, to accommodate the platform.
