I'm hooked

as long as I put the same username on every machine (inc' PS3) then it should add all the WU totals together right?

57 points? That doesn't sound right. I didn't think that those small WUs were still in circulation. I'd check on it for you but the stats pages seem to be down ATM.

1585 - 57pts GROMACS - nothing wrong with that, all is well don't let billy scary sig put you off ;)
 
Hmm I dunno at this rate, this current one is gonna be done on thursday evening, same as my laptop apparently

Have to rely on the PS3 to get me some serious points

Any ideas on the points for a 20k frame p2125_lambada_5way_(cant see the rest) GROMACS core? Got two of them being done atm

That'll be a 212x unit, plenty of these around at the moment :(


2125 is 392 points.


Google+Download FAHmon, it'll tell you all this stuff :)

Cheers for that, very neat little program

Oh well, I might be a bit on the low points side of things come this news day, next week I should be well on my way though once these 2 are done. Sods law I get another two though

In all likelyhood you'll be getting them for a while, i've had nothing but those for about 3 weeks now :(

Hey guys

Just thought I'd have my first post in this forum as I've just started folding

And I'm hooked lol

Hello mate, I've only recently started folding and it is somewhat addictive, odd considering all you can see is a little bar that takes ages to get to 100%.

Have fun.:)

do you think they would handle something like SETI ok?

They would but the new Seti enhanced application takes much longer to scan through a WU, you could be looking at 20 hours+ on a P3.

Try something like Leiden Classical or Microfluids which have smaller work units and are (I think) not optimised for SSE instructions. 5-7 hours perhaps.

These are both BOINC projects, and a bit unfashionable around these parts recently.

Wouldn't you WANT SSE optimizations since the P3 has SSE?
 
I knew I'd seen something somewhere about P3's.

Rieselsieve FAQ said:
Q: What are the minimum requirements for the participating?
A: A computer that is capable of participating in any other BOINC project will work, and even a slower one may work, as our memory usage is lower than most projects. Generally, a computer with 64MB RAM, 20MB free hard disk space free and with Pentium-class or better processor should work. Currently only Windows platform is being supported, but we are hoping to add more platforms soon. One note: AMD processors, especially Athlon core, perform better on the sieve than do Pentium 4. Pentium 3 does better than Pentium 4 as well.

Rieselsieve is a mathematical BOINC project.
I remember someone also got quite good output from a P3 running QMC@Home.

Any machine will handle it, some will just be slower than others at turning out results :)

You should be careful with that kind of advice! Yes it is true pretty much any machine will handle it, but in addition to what mike said there is the matter of the deadline. If the results aren't going to get back to Stanford in a timely manner there is no point in doing them.

Welcome to the team, Steadie
 
They will meet the deadlines if they're running almost all of the time - I think the lower limit is about 500Mhz. If they're only on for a working day, they're gonna miss them - and there's no deadlineless WUs around at present :(

One newer rig would probably produce as many points as the whole lot of them, and use a lot less power.
