Topic 190645

According to the einstein logs "2006-01-20 14:16:19.7493 [PID=24260] [normal ] Daily result quota exceeded for host 22045".

The computer page lists 7 unreported results, but from past experience with this problem I believe they will show up as reported soon (the machine is not processing any units).

The problem is that with most Albert units taking ~2500 seconds to complete, host 22045 can do almost 70 units a day (it is a dual processor G5). That is far above the current unit threshold for a machine and causes the box to stay dormant much of the day.

This problem could conceivably be much worse as this is only a dual 2.5 G5. A quad 2.5 could do over 140 of such units per day.

Exceeding Quota

BOINC is made to do more than one project. Einstein wishes to keep the WU quota low. This is their choice. They know there are fast machines out there, but encourage them to do more than one project.

This has been discussed before. They did up the quota some, but have not since.

These WUs are a mistake.

Quota is per CPU.

Thanks for the information.

Message 24280 in response to message 24279

Thanks for the information. I received 19 of these short units in the past 24 hours so hopefully after tomorrow I will get better units again.

Nope, maybe in a week or two :-(

Please be advised that Bruce

Please be advised that Bruce has raised the MDQ to 32/CPU and hopefully this will help.
