Bucket size calculation #163

Open themouldinator opened 5 years ago

themouldinator commented 5 years ago

Does anyone know how to properly calculate bucket size and thread numbers to use based on the computer specs? We have an Intel® Xeon(R) Gold 6140 CPU @ 2.30GHz × 49 with 750GB of Ram and 1TB SSD I thought using 30 threads and a bucket of 2342177280 would not be too intense given previous suggestions. I was sorely wrong. There have been issues with this for others not being able to get the threads/bucket size right/the most efficient but safe way possible so I was wondering if there is a tool that can be used to do this?
