Work Units Contol

Is there anyway to control the number of work units downloaded? It seems that the current number of downloads are too many. I can never finish them before they exceed the deadline date/time.

Re: Work Units Contol

Yes - 2 ways.

If you have multiple devices it is easiest to go to "device manager", "device profiles" then scroll down to "Workunit Cache Settings" - here you can set how many workunits are downloaded into the cache. Will be updated next time your devices connect.

If you only have one device, you can set it using "tools", "computing preferences", "network usage" - here you can set the work buffer.

Re: Work Units Contol

problem is also short time on some of the downloads,
if already downloaded work and you recive a unit that need to be done within 2 days.

some project do this, i call hijacking and waste of cpu time and they actual should be kicked out of the project.

but here is what i have learned

set current work to 0 only if you have a very powerfull i7 CPU's
then you can have it 0,3 as default was, i recommned 0,05 or 0

and then buffer for next day is 0,5 or 0,25 this actual prevent no matter how crappy timeslot i get in deadline then all my jobs is solved within a ½ of a day depend if i use pc to other things.

but this also require network access all the time.

someone should clean up this bad time slot window
and if you look at the overview research alot of % is dropping all the time, either many make bad calculation or work is discarded by errors or other bug.

other day i see a work terminate by project, so they make many mistake in there, check your preference see if you make errors also and that is in the project menu in bonic manager
