Ramp-up is an optional procedure that gradually increases the rate that the SystemInput limiter allows — from a small value when a node starts, up to the configured maximum.

This allows time for events such as Just-In-Time compilation and cache-loading, before the maximum work rate applies to the node.

Enabling or disabling ramp-up

Below is a summary of what happens depending on whether ramp-up is enabled or disabled.

Enabled Disabled
  • First, Rhino sets the SystemInput limiter’s maximum allowed rate to startRate.

  • Then, every time Rhino processes eventsPerIncrement events, with no rejected events, it adds rateIncrement to the rate. Rhino counts all events processed, regardless of whether or not they go through the SystemInput limiter.

  • Ramp-up finishes when the current rate reaches the maxRate value set for the SystemInput limiter.

Nothing special happens when the node starts — the maximum rate the SystemInput limiter allows is simply maxRate.

Warning Ramp-up has no effect if the SystemInput limiter’s bypassed flag is true.
Tip You configure ramp-up globally, but each node ramps up independently. So if a node restarts, it ramps up again — without affecting other already running nodes.
