Has WCG reduced the number of work units to what you are currently running?
I have my settings at 2 days of work because the internet isn't dependable here, but I only get 6 work units at a time on both machines. I have checked that the local and network settings are correct. This has started recently. |

The Microbiome Immunity Project is almost finished and has very limited work available that this time. I took a look at your profile and of our projects that have stable work, you have limited each of them to two tasks each. I would encourage you to go to https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/...iguration.do?name=Default and at the bottom of the page increase the allowed number of jobs for African Rainfall Project, Mapping Cancer Markers or OpenPandemics in order to suit your needs.
Before increasing the limit for the African Rainfall Project please make sure that your computer would be ok running more than 2 at once (see the system requirements here: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq#251 |

MIP is almost finished and HST supply is intermittent, leaving ARP, OPN and MCM readily available. ARP should be limited to work on a maximum of half your threads at any one time per machine.
So, if you have a machine with 8 threads, set you profile to download a maximum of 4 for each project that you wish to crunch. That will give you a plentiful supply of work without overloading the machine. That is likely to average out at about 3 ARP, 2 OPN, 2 MCM and 1 HST, or rather less than 1 HST with the others picking up the slack. ARP will get the greater share because their units take longer and so become the earlier deadlines. To redress the balance, reduce the ARP cache to, say, 3. If you have more or less threads, please scale the numbers up or down in proportion. Mike |
