New Client Reply: Re: 20110712: CONDUIT request -- fire weather grids Linda, This is interesting for sure. Do you think he meant that any private company can put a separate LDM server at the WOC, or that they can connect to the existing CONDUIT LDM servers?

During the AMS community meeting last week, Dr. Uccelllini spoke up during my talk and endorsed the concept of CONDUIT and talked about its success (no big surprise). He yold the audience that this capability is open to private industry too, if they want to put a server there. I'm telling you this, in the event you begin getting questions about such a service. Perhaps this information will help to inform you on the number of LlDM servers and the potential for more.

I kind of thought that might be overkill since there's a limited number of top level systems pulling from the WOC. But I really should ask you -- would you see any benefit in having more than 3 LDM servers at each WOC location?

My WOC SA tells me we'll get 40GB of memory on each of the boxes. That's the number I wrote down... kinda wonder if I've got an extra 0 on there, but either way, it's at least 4 :)40 GB sounds correct. The existing machines have 8 GB, so a target of 4 GB would be a rollback, not a upgrade :-) 40 GB will allow for at least a five fold increase in LDM queue size, from 6 GB to at least 30 GB (maybe even 35 GB). This will be a wonderful upgrade! re:So then I come back to you and Linda to speak for the CONDUIT community... is it acceptable to you to limp along on the smaller queue for a few months with this data until the upgrade, or do you think it's necessary to hold off till after the upgrade?Given the offset of the peak in parallel NAM (aka fire weather) volume from the existing peak that is dominated by global GFS, I think it is safe to run the existing setup for the next few months.
