Is it possible for the work generator to go a bit haywire? If we're using a policy which checks to see the number of unsent workunits, if one of the feeder queries gets hung up, is it possible for the work generator to keep thinking that there aren't enough unsent workunits because the feeder hasn't updated things and then repeatedly generate more workunits which could flood the database?
I'm wondering if this is a possibility because I think it's what might have happened with the most recent MilkyWay@Home crash... thanks, --Travis --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Travis Desell, Assistant Professor University of North Dakota - Dept. of Computer Science [email protected] - cell: 518-867-1054 Streibel Hall Room 220 - office: 777-701-3477 3950 Campus Road Stop 9015 Grand Forks, North Dakota 52802-9015 Homepage ( http://people.cs.und.edu/~tdesell/ ) MilkyWay@Home ( http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/ ) DNA@Home ( http://dnahome.cs.rpi.edu/ ) Worldwide Computing Laboratory ( http://wcl.cs.rpi.edu/ ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
