Message 51812 - Posted: 3 Dec 2011, 15:04:15 UTC

I have pasted 40 lines from my Event Log below. Most of them are from Einstein@Home because they illustrate the difference between E@H and M@H. I draw your attention to the lines in bold. The last two bold E@H lines indicate the resuming and completion of WU ending in 1264_1. These are followed by lines showing upload of the results from that WU. The bold M@H lines also indicate the starting or resuming of WUs, along with lines indicating their completion, but there are no lines indicating upload of results. Would somebody, perhaps a moderator or administrator, please tell us the reason for the difference? TIA

So if I understood correctly, that's just the way M@H does it. I also thought I read that this is a time saving measure. But if that is the case there is still something I don't understand...doesn't it take the same length of time to send results back whether or not there is a printout?

but there are no lines indicating upload of results.


MW changed awhile back. It doesn't use a seperate command(right word?) to upload the results. It does it when it talks to the server at one time. It was done to help take some strain off of the server. I believe MW also doesn't create a seperate result file now. Since it doesn't do the uploading seperate you don't see it in Boinc.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

I am not certain of the details of how it works but my understanding is that one of the reasons it is done this way is to reduce load on the MilkyWay server. Due to GPU tasks being processed very quickly combined with a small cache of tasks allowed means computers with one or more fast GPUs are contacting the MilkyWay server very frequently. If a separate upload is not required it reduces the number of times the server needs to be contacted by each computer and hence reduces server load.

Edit: I see banditwolf has already explained.
