How long should this this take?

How long should project 1164 take on The Almighty beast which is my celeron D?

Are we talking days, weeks or months?


Edit:
Its got this

little square next to it on farmon anbd hasnt shifted from 6% for awhile

Whats happening?

days - check your benchmarks in Fahmon (under fahmon drop down)
that should say how long a single cycle is, multiply by 100 - ta daa!

It's going to take a single HT core on my 2.8GHz P4 Xeon about 4 1/2 days to complete so I guess about double that for your celery

574 points / 4.5 days = 127.6 ppd

not exactly spectacular but better than the 56 pointers that take a day and a half

Ive been getting those 56 pointers a lot since my last streak of high pointers

What does the yellow square mean?

from:

ou can notice that there is a small colored square at the left of each line in the list. There are 4 different colors:

* Black

FahMon is unable to access to the directory where this client is located.

* Red

The client is currently stopped.

* Orange

The client seems to be inactive or in an unknown state. The former happens most of the time when the elapsed time since the last completed frame is too high (this happens if another process is using the processor). An unknown state occurs when FahMon does not have sufficient information to decide whether the client is running or not. Check the Messages Window to know what is happening.

* Green

Everything is Ok, FahMon should display all information about this client, as long as the project database is up to date.


I normally see three orange (or yellow) squares for a little while after I start fahmon, after a little while (read an hour or more) the client will have saved a checkpoint and fahmon will know it's working and go green. Check the log and the task manager on that machine to satisfy yourself that it's still crunching.

OT but project 1165 is taking a bit longer (but worth 622 points) I think these are new projects available at the moment hence the double points

A day and a half

They only take about 9 hours for me

Starting to like these 56 pointers a little now as I get about 160ppd out of em. Get a run of them on both cores and I could be getting close to 400 points in a day

yeah but what machine are you running yours on? mine is a fairly well stressed database server that runs a two instances of a 500Mb Oracle database for about 20 concurent connections. it's a poor old desktop box without enough memory

The 56 pointers are a pita for me, i think the 64bit AMD CPUs seem to deal with them much better than lower end intel cores.

YAY it's all working , mine's got an ETA of 6hr 57 mins so I should make it before the midnight stats update

OT, Zip, go to bed dude, it's like the middle of the night down under Let folding have those CPU cycles that your browser is stealing
