Hi,
I was wondering how much bandwidth WCG is actually using on average per month (I have all projects selected except african climate), just so I dont exceed my cap. At the moment I have 5 cores running at home, and am probably going to add another quad core computer as long as i wont potentially go over my cap. Thanks :) |

Sorry, there is no telling simply because each member has a different production. Visit the Start Here forum and visit the Project Matrix to get an indication of the up/download sizes per-job/project and extrapolate for your work mix.
----------------------------------------ACAH is finished and there were so few jobs anyhow for this project on a per-member basis that it would hardly have caused cap endangering.

It depends on how fast your machines are, and how many tasks you do per month. Different tasks have different requirements. A (complex) chart that shows the data you need to calculate it is here http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=17855
----------------------------------------In summary, to download and upload a single task for the following projects HCC - 0.2Mb FA@H - 0.4Mb DDD-T - 0.75-0.9Mb RICE - 0.35-0.95 Mb HPF2 - 2.1-2.6Mb HCC or FA@H would be the lowest bandwidth projects, if you're worried about bandwidth, disable HPF2. FA@H is listed somewhere at about 50-60M/month per core for a medium machine. How many tasks you actually process is dependent on your machine, including other usage - except for RICE which takes 8 CPU hours per task, but the faster the machine the more results it has to send. Take a look at your stats to see how many tasks/day you're doing to get an idea of the bandwidth you'll use. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 14, 2008 5:39:53 AM] |
