Re: "The survivors"

I usually open a window in my data processing center (spare bedroom over the garage),

but not this morning. Started out at 21F , now it's bright and sunny and 41.

Where's the hot chocolate?

Re: "The survivors"

- there you go, grumpy tongue

Not chocolate, but handmixed and cooked cocoa,
for which I compensate by adding handwhipped cream blushing

Re: "The survivors"

Are we headed into another Maunder Minimum due to lack of sunspot activity?
aka mini ice age
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/14/ice_age/
Heard a rumor that the canals in Venice Italy were frozen over putting the gondoliers out of work.
Any truth to it?

Re: "The survivors"

I'm going to start an ice fishing club for Lake Lanier.
When the mini ice age comes I'll be ready.

Re: "The survivors"

I am having a problem with allocating CEP2 work units.
When I change my device profile to custom unlimited I only get CEP2 on all PCs.
If I set the amount to 2 then I only get 2 on all PCs, regardless of the number of cores/threads.
It looks like the solution is to create individual device profiles for each PC.

Re: "The survivors"

The device profiles are limited to four and the names are fixed.
Default, Home, Work, and School.
Works for me.
Using custom settings with different profiles there is some control of CEP2 work units on PCs with different architectures.
Because CEP2 uses a lot of disk space it too can be controlled to some degree.

Re: "The survivors"

You might also want to limit "Maximum Upload Rate" to something less than 1/2 of your maximum upload speed, otherwise a CEP upload will CRUSH your upload and download rates, at least it does on my 768Kb upload DSL connection sad

Before I set that, I wouldn't even be able to load pages on my browser when CEP was uploading.

Re: "The survivors"

Just ran the AT&T speed test (U-verse fiber)
Download speed is 17.64 Mbps
Upload speed is 1.42 Mbps
I was running CEP2 100% on 4 PCs for a number of days.
Do not recall having a problem with a browser during CEP2 upload or download.
Maybe I am not perceptive enough to know I had a problem.
It wouldn't be the first time.

DSL is asymmetric and favors downloads at the expense of uploads.
Just a small piece of that 768 Kbps is available for upload.
What does your line test?
