Posted 21 Aug 2019 by David703
Hi, from what I've understood about the nature of the project, before loading new
work, the precedent batch needs to be completed. This naturally induces people to store a lot of WUs in their cache, which in turn causes a general slow down.
Has it ever been thought to limit the number of WUs a device can store? Or even completely eliminate the possibility to do it? This could significantly decrease the time needed to complete a batch, and everyone would be able to get work until the batch is *actually* finished.


Its limited to 50 per core depends on the runtime. Yes I agree that the turnaround time is a bit low at the moment.


Ok, thank you for the info!
