[CONDUIT #EKQ-308585]: GFS data problem

Hi,

re: how much RAM does your machine have

If the machine in question is ldm.dri.edu, then the following is a snapshot of 
the
volume of data that it is receiving:

https://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/rtstats_summary_volume?ldm.dri.edu

Data Volume Summary for ldm.dri.edu

Maximum hourly volume  66216.456 M bytes/hour
Average hourly volume  25798.251 M bytes/hour

Average products per hour     242594 prods/hour

Feed                           Average             Maximum     Products
                     (M byte/hour)            (M byte/hour)   number/hour
CONDUIT               14858.372    [ 57.594%]    51172.197    91321.298
NGRID                  7107.668    [ 27.551%]    12533.545    66386.064
HDS                    3748.626    [ 14.531%]    11502.015    29879.234
IDS|DDPLUS               83.545    [  0.324%]       97.793    54488.809
EXP                       0.040    [  0.000%]        0.054      518.723

Assuming that this volume will stay the same, it would be "good" to 
set the queue size to be 32 GB as it would hold, on average, a bit more
than 1 hour of data.

Why is it important/useful to hold more data in one's LDM queue?

- The longer a product is in the local LDM queue, the more time the
  system has to process data out of the queue.

- The LDM can detect and reject duplicate products

  It rejects a newly-received product when a product with the same MD5 signature
  exists in the LDM queue. So, the longer a product resides in the queue, the
  better the duplicate product detection and rejection system can work.

I hope that this helps...

Cheers,

Tom
