Question on umg1 vs mcm1 weighting

I've been noticing lately that while my profile is set up for both umg1 and mcm1 WUs, I seem to be getting many more mcm1 WUs than umg1 (probably a good 5-to-1 ratio or more). Is the priority for mcm1 set higher than umg1? Just curious....

no, its the priority of ugm1 that is set lower than the other subprojects.

Re: Question on umg1 vs mcm1 weighting

rbotterb,

The project is running at the lowest priority currently.

Re: Question on umg1 vs mcm1 weighting

It's the 'info'-hunger games here, let the members guess wink With nearly 4 weeks of data one would expect that

a) the stability of the science app is proven, and an update last week to v 7.23 would indicate most issues that came to light in now 4 million results supporting this.

b) enough data was collected to know how much storage space is needed pre-assimilation

Should allow decision on re-weighting the 'resource share', or as it's called anywhere else 'project weight'

Someone may have read who's with powers though, as my desktop has received 5 mcm and 5 ugm in the last 5 hours. Running with a 4:4 app_config had seen a growing deficiency in ugm work, also because the mcm started to run long. This needed flip-flopping the profile to top up ugm, but with now 24 ugm and 12 mcm buffered, think it will be another 24 hours before micromanagement is called for again.

Something else in those info-hunger games, the 'technical' launch was oct.14. When is the big pr launch going to happen, or did that already occur? Certainly my android linked device profile still has not had the ugm project auto-opted in and there's no indication at all there was a wave of 'exclusive cruncher' arrivals as the day on day runtime has been dropping serially for the past 5 days.

Re: Question on umg1 vs mcm1 weighting

Ugm1 is weighted lower. It is set this way for a few reasons, the main one being storage. Not only on the World Community Grid backend but also at the researchers. The other major one is bandwidth. If we get back too much data too quickly then we will not be able to return them if the network connections do not allow for this. At the moment the project will stay at it's lower priority. We will let you know if we decide to increase the project weight.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Re: Question on umg1 vs mcm1 weighting

Thank you for the additional information as well. At least I know now that with my current profile settings, I'll only get the occasional umg1 WU. It will just be a while before I can get to my Silver Badge on this project.

No big worries - just crunching along .....
