ini file tweaking. Need some help guys.

[Adul]

I want to get a good couple of ini files setup. Here is what I have for OGR.

[parameters]
id=tncrc5@home.com

[networking]
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com
encoding=
disabled=no
nettimeout=14
nofallback=true
autofindkeyserver=no

[misc]
run-work-limit=0
project-priority=OGR,RC5,DES,CSC

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

[buffers]
allow-update-from-altbuffer=yes
frequent-threshold-checks=4

[triggers]
restart-on-config-file-change=yes

[ogr]
fetch-workunit-threshold=5
randomprefix=1



And this is what I have for RC5

[parameters]
id=tncrc5@home.com

[networking]
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com
encoding=
disabled=no
nettimeout=14
nofallback=true
autofindkeyserver=no

[misc]
run-work-limit=0
project-priority=RC5,OGR,DES,CSC

[rc5]
fetch-workunit-threshold=32
preferred-blocksize=33
randomprefix=1

[buffers]
allow-update-from-altbuffer=yes
frequent-threshold-checks=4

[triggers]
restart-on-config-file-change=yes

[ogr]
fetch-workunit-threshold=5

So what is it that you want to tweak!

 

[Adul]

just want to make sure they are the best they can possibly be. I pretty sure the rc5 ini file is good. But the ogr only file I think needs some work.Dunno, but they way i have it, will it only do ogr and go to rc5 only if it can't get on dnet?

Adul,

I see a couple things that you should probably change. This:

[parameters]
id=tncrc5@home.com

[networking]
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com

Should actually be this:

[parameters]
id=rc5@tacube.com

[networking]
keyserver=tacube.teamanandtech.com

HeHe.

[Adul]

hehe nice try russ, but then again you may be right with those two options

you will see.

 

[Sukhoi]

Are you implying nekkid borg? :Q

 

[Adul]

nope something else.

 

[MereMortal]

The only way I could be assured to only crunch OGR was to set project-priority=OGR,RC5=0,CSC=0,DES=0.

 

[sciencewhiz]

the only thing that you should need to change to switch between RC5 and OGR in your configuration is the order in the project priority. Just take your RC5 file and reverse the order of OGR and RC5 to get a good OGR file.

 

[ViRGE]

Adul, your INI file is fine. OGR doesn't really have much in the way of tweeking(you can set the WU limit, but that's it).

 

[Viztech]

Looks fine to me.

Count 5 OGR units, flush, if can't connect to the TeAm proxy by the time you finish the 6th, it will start RC5 until next connection to the proxy, restarting on OGR upon completion of the RC5 block in progress.

Sounds like a good scenario to me.

The only thing that I would add is checkpointing for OGR to protect the partially completed work in case of a crash.

[buffers]
checkpoint-filename=cp
frequent-threshold-checks=X

Also, you may want to reduce the OGR work units to one or two, just so you don't hold too much completed work. I flush each one upon completion to a Personal Proxy.

Welcome to OGR Adul!

[Adul]

good idea viztech. those ogr stubs sure take a while to complete

You might want to use a time limit on the RC5 buffers instead of a set amount of blocks, that way it won't matter what kind of processor or speed the guy/gal the .ini is for has... the buffers will be adjusted to the necessary level

example:
[rc5]
fetch-time-threshold=24
preferred-blocksize=33

Pretty obvious, but this will fetch enough work to last 24 hours

GREAT work Adul and your brother

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Unless you are using "remote buffers", you should change:


<< [buffers]
allow-update-from-altbuffer=yes >>


to


<< [buffers]
allow-update-from-altbuffer=no >>

 

[Adul]

will note the changes guys. Thanks.
