Lately a lot of projects have really weird settings for fpops_est and fpops_bound, leading to host side correction factors of 25 and more. For old hosts, this doesn't hurt. New hosts with a fairly large cache often receive way more WUs than they can handle, before they have a chance to adjust their DCF. I think it would be a good idea, to help the project admins with this stuff by slowly(!) adjusting those values towards an average host DCF of 1. Introducing a DCF on server side could do this job. The average host correction factor could be evaluated daily during the stats export, adjustment of the server side DCF by maybe 5% per day should do. When a new WU is sent out, both fpops_est and fpops_bound should be adjusted according to this server side factor. p.s.: Adjusting the server side factor smooth is required in order to avoid confusing the old hosts, that have already adjusted their DCF |

... The average host correction factor could be evaluated daily during the stats export, ... I forgot to add, that this should only include active hosts, as the inactive ones will not adjust their own DCF when the new fpops_est get closer to the real requirements. |
