3) Message boards : Number crunching : 20 workunit limit (Message 2296) Posted 16 Mar 2008 by Jon Boy UK - Wales Post: Hello, I did have 2x Compaq Proliant 8500R Data Centre Servers that are both 8 core. They cost an absolute fortune to run with regards to electricity costs. I chucked them both out up at the local tip. The money i saved in electricity i bought A few Compaq Evo W6000 workstation's. These are all dual xeon HT's.(quad core equivilant) These evo workstations out perform the proliant servers 10 fold.And electricity consumption/costs are much lower ! Happy Crunchin' John :)

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Fixed Credit / WU (Message 652) Posted 27 Nov 2007 by Jon Boy UK - Wales Post: Hello all, Are we in fixed credit / WU mode so to speak? Reason why i'm asking is that my last x ammount of wu's have been generously awarded "1.00" credit rather than the usual average of say 1.97 for eg. Kind Regards, Happy Crunchin John :0)

I put them to work on another project for the time being.... Regards, John

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Per Host Limit (Message 511) Posted 20 Nov 2007 by Jon Boy UK - Wales Post: Hello, Many thanks for your reply's Now i understand better thanks to you :0) I personally think 2000 work units /core is extremly generous. Even if i had my full compliment of crunchers on the go i could't do 2000 a day. 7x Dual core 2x Quad core 2x 8 core Total 38x core's in all The 8 wu's at a time /core is rather a sensible idea - this ensures that you dont get any more until these are returned ( crunch 8 wu's get another 8 wu's ). Brilliant I thought (and got it wrong...) that it was changed from 2000 to 8 (max).And that would be your lot for 24hrs. lhc@home imposed heavy restrictions on the limit of wu's one could have in a 24hr period as they have more crunchers than wu's availiable. Anyway - besides i'm glad to have the opportunity to crunch 1 wu and to have taken part. Kind Regards, John :0)

Are there new limits being set? As previously the quota was set in the thousands per host. Kind Regards, John Gray :0)
