We reduced the daily quota to 36. This limits the maximum number of tasks a machine can "trash" per day.

Changed daily quota

We lowered the daily quota again to 16. Kathryn is right, it's per core with a limit of 4 cores, so the maximum quota (per day) is 64.

Out of curiosity, why did you lower it again? Does this mean that you're not expecting any further optimization for the Macs? Peanut's system can do 32-40/day as it is right now...


The reason is given in the existence of this parameter; se my initial post on this thread. Currently a rather small amount of machines is responsible for the relatively high failure rates we are facing.

I don't expect optimization beyond what's in the current MacOS Intel App for the next months. I'll be busy fixing bugs and getting this code to work on other architectures.

Anyway, shouldn't the individual host's daily quota back down on its' own due to error results? The only thing I can see that would be a problem with that is if a host has a string of error results, then one or two good results, then another string of error results. Is that what is happening?


Sometimes.

Another thing is that hosts that have problems e.g. with their filesystems tend to forget their hostid, so they get a new one assigned. We also have a number of hosts that run in a kind of batch mode where BOINC is installed, runs a few tasks, and then is removed completely from the machine for a while.
