I didn't want to have to read through 400+ pages. However, I'm not seeing anything clarifying how to add WCG. I see adding Rosetta. If someone has the CPID from Rosetta already associated with their account and their CPID with WCG is the same, does that automatically opt them in to PODC with WCG as well or is there another step needed? I could see it beneficial and hindering both at the same time depending on situation. I'm always supporting WCG but only support Rosetta during challenges normally.
Also, are you basing the RAC off of what the project site is reporting? I ask because that can take a few weeks to actually become accurate while running the project but becomes very inaccurate if you stop. For instance, I can stop running the project now and several weeks/months/possibly years I will continue to have a RAC at the project. You will find most projects never return you back to 0 RAC because of how RAC is calculated. I was just curious to which "report" I should watch for this...
Hi again! I am not an expert so I hope some others will help with this comment. But WCG was a relatively new addition to our distributed computing efforts, so yes it seems harder to find the documentation for. I have not used WCG, only Rosetta.
Can anyone offer instructions here please?I will leave it for Rob to answer questions about RAC reports because it is a little over my head. But if I am correct, you also need to have solved Rosetta/WCG tasks in the last 24 hours or so for your RAC to count. So if someone abandoned DC then they would not get paid, so a falling RAC (but never reaching 0) would not be a problem.
I assume, even if it doesn't go to 0, it will get quite small. Right now, an RAC of around 10 would only get someone less than 2 BBP (just over half a US cent), and this will continue to decrease, I expect. So even if someone drops servers but keeps some running, the dropped servers are probably only having a negligible effect.
This is just my interpretation though, I could be wrong!
Thanks!
