I'm switching to OGR

[TheyCallMeSAK]

OK, for the cause, i am switching as many cows as I can over to OGR temporarily SO THAT WE MAKE KEEP FIRST!!!

I'd like to use my pproxy, the same one as I am using for RC5. The thing is, i know NOTHING about OGR . I'm not sure how much to buffer! :\

If anyone can help, i would really appreciate it . Also, i ENCOURAGE as many people as possible to switch to OGR for a short time! Even a day or so would help. Thanx again.

SAK, the amount you buffer depends on the amount of traffic going in and out of your proxy - As a guide Mika's is currently buffering 5000 WU's for OGR (which is a damn lot considering some CPU's at best do around 3 WU's a day).

The highest other TA proxies buffer 500 and the lowest is currently buffering 50.

i'll throw in a few OGR stubs has well then.

Yeah, I knew it would depend on how much power I would be contributing. Hehe, I just wanted to get an idea of OGR rates and stuff like that. I have no trouble determining RC5 buffer levels . Thanks for the info. As a guide, how many WUs do you think a P3-700 would do in a day? I have a few P3s and prolly a wad of celery I could commit to OGR for a while. Thanks.

oopsies. DBL post

You'll probably turn out around 3 WU's a day with a P3-700, depending on WU size of course.

SAK-

I buffer 90 WUs for my home herd that is feeding about 4-5 ghz. That's about a 3 day supply. An OGR WU averages about 150 Gnodes or 150,000 Mnodes.

My Duron 900 did 3 WU's today while I was gone, looks like it will do around 7-9 a day!

Does that sound right?

MWalkden,

OGR stubs vary a whole lot in size. They can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days (depending on size and speed of computer). I have found that a good size to use for an average is 100-150 gnodes per stub. I buffer 10 stubs for my PIII 500, which should last about 3-4 days with average size stubs.

If you are on a always-on LAN, I would buffer a few days worth using 100-150 gnodes as an average size stub. If you are on dialup, I would figure out how often you connect, and then figure out how many 25-35 gnode stubs you could do in that time and add in a fudge factor of a few gnodes.

The most important thing is to make sure that you don't disable RC5 in the project priority. That way, if you can't get any more stubs, your client will go back to RC5 instead of doing nothing.

I set
[misc]
project-priority=DES=0,CSC=0,OGR,RC5

[rc5]
randomprefix=201
fetch-workunit-threshold=32
preferred-blocksize=33

[ogr]
fetch-workunit-threshold=1


everywhere, and have buffers of
rc5 : min=12000 ; max=15000
ogr : min=20 ; max=50

for a herd of 19 odd comps, ranging from 166 to 850 MHz.

When I switched my P2 400 over it downloaded 24 stubs, I don't think its gonna be flushing for a long while, I hadn't even completed 2 in the first day it was running OGR

 

[fdiskboy]

I had a P2/400 do 10 stubs yesterday. I was quite surprised.

Mindless,

For some reason the first ever OGR stub you do seems to take the longest (even if its not your biggest). OGR is a slow process, there is no getting away from that fact. Although that isn't saying its not for stats freaks - its just that you dont need a stats page to tell you how many Gnodes you have done, you will pretty much know yourself.
