Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 24th May 2007

Every other day you've had 861 points (3 x 287) then suddenly an extra 3k points dropped in

When I checked Windle's Official stats page on Wednesday, after seeing the big points jump, it definitely said there were 2 Active processors, but now, like you say, it says 1. This is one for Mulder and Scully!

well done

 

[Pilgrim57]

Thanks Mr Millions for a good job well done, as usual.

A good week for me as I broke the 5,000 barrier at last
Previous week was carp as I had 3 SMP unit crash. The overclock was fine in windows but VMware/Linux didn't like it. I've now put an extra 0.5v thru my RAM which seems to help.

Note it seems DDR RAM timings have more of an effect than MHz.
1GB @ 2-3-3-6 218MHz 34minutes per frame project 1523
2GB @ 2.5.-3-3-7 220 MHz 37 mins p frame.

Fold on Team 10

I bet that's where my missing 1523 points have gone! It's all a plot by the citrus shadow to keep me below him.

Citrus circuits to full power - Mummmmmmmhahahahahaha!

Edit: but as I've move my home pc into the subteam, I'll stop at the next services and let you overtake me in your own time.

Deffo not adding up :/

On the 23rd i dumped 5 WUs instead of the normal 3. However they can't have been the normal WUs as the 5 works out at 781 per WU as opposed to the 200 odd of the normal ones :/

 

[lay-z-boy]

All bow down to the amazing 3.3ghz of c2q powa

Seriously though, thanks for the stats and get ready for a large boost as all my machines go back on again

Looks like a pair of 1523 pointers, which sounds like SMP production to me.

I would say I'll have you next week but i've got to spend all weekend rendering videos so my production will be way down

One of them definately was as it was still showing on EOC when I looked yesterday - must be something a bit odd going on at stanford

 

[booyaka]

average week from me - to many bloody 3*** projects and only 200 points!

hopefully a bit more 500pointers soon!

I'm not going to complain! Free points!

As all my borgs are off for the long weekend I haven't got anything to overtake you with, let alone contribute to the subteam. I've had to kick off a couple of SMP WUs at home to get any production at all.

my farm is off too - just the two smp'er on closed beta

Folding out why my machine keeps switching off/rebooting - Abit guru (set at 60 degrees)/hot weather and wife blocking the inlet with washing

 

[Trazzall]

dunno what's going on with me... my pc is on 24/7 and still i only get 1000 points each week All the wu's have been crud 200 pointers though

 

[Windle]

What spec machine do you run?

 

[PikeyPriest]

Think ive worked out why im getting poor daily output the project 3404 gromac units worth 206 pts are rubbish. Just got a different unit that is worth 292 (at 12 % now) and it will be done 5 hours before the 3404 unit which is *already* at 60% completion....

Hopefully ill get some better units like this for a while!

Make sure you have -forceasm set as described in the sticky. I missed it on one of my borgs and it ran at half the speed of the others.

You shouldn't need -forceasm but if you have a dodgy shutdown the computer client disables SSE on the next run incase it was that which caused it.

Your logfile should look something like this:

[09:01:40] (Starting from checkpoint)
[09:01:40] Protein: p2613_TETHERED VESICLES
[09:01:40]
[09:01:40] Writing local files
[09:01:40] Completed 106699 out of 125000 steps (85)
[09:02:16] Extra SSE boost OK.

edit: If SSE has been disabled then simply stopping and restarting the service/client should sort it out if you're not happy playing with the registry/service to add -forceasm
