At our institute we have daily logon to the firewall to make the internet accessible. This is find during the week but in the weekend if often happens that a project unit of work is finished but no new work can be downloaded. Is there a way to configure the amount of work that is downloaded, and cached, so that the pipeline always stays full? ID: 84917 ·  |

Computing Preferences. Store at least N days of work. Store up to an additional N days of work. Some projects, like Seti and Milkyway (I think) have a hard coded amount of work you can download, being for Seti 100 for CPU (no matter how many you have, or how many cores) and 100 per GPU; Milkyway was 6, I think. But you'll have to wait for someone to confirm that. ID: 84918 · |

Counter intuitive, but setting a small "store additional days work" will allow you to have a continuously "full" cache (as set by the "store N days work" or project limit), as this triggers a call for work at every opportunity, while a large "store additional days work" will only call for work when the cache is below that trigger limit...

MW limit is 80 tasks per GPU. Similar to Seti, just a bit lower. ID: 84937 · |
