With thanks to SiriusB's SMP guide, allow me to present my first Linux SMP Benchmark...

Project: 2604
Core: GROMACS SMP
Frames: 100
Credit: 1760

Avg.Time / Frame 11mn 58s 2117.88 ppd

Is that in the right ballpark for an E6700?
 
Ah, good, I shall let it chug away for a couple of days and then do a bit of Orthos work on it.:)

It's at 3.2ghz at the moment, but it's on water and I just got some of that Geil DDR2 800 that was on offer, so I shall do a little tweaking in the next few days. It's been to 3.6Ghz before but was unstable due to the cheapo DDR2 667 I had.:)

I notice that VMWare doesn't use 100% of the CPU when it's running, does Native Linux use 100%?
 
Interesting, I'll see how it goes, the deadlines look OK, even if I switch off for 6 hours a day the WU is done in a day.

Do you run a new VM with another Linux in for the 2nd client?
 
Nope, you can just copy two of the files from the first clients folder and then re-run the InstallService script.

Or something like that, been ages since I did it.
 
Nah you can run two clients in one VM. The extra client needs an extra ~200mb of RAM.
 
3.2GHz... how many frames has that WU done?

Just checked my benchies on my [email protected]

-- SMP --

Min. Time / Frame : 10mn 28s - 2421.40 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 10mn 35s - 2394.71 ppd

up to 300PPD more than you! :eek:
 
I'm upto 2203.83 now after 14 frames. Did you use the default 499Mb for the RAM settings on the VM?

Hmmm, the 0.1Ghz sounds attractive.:)

I'll do my tweaking before setting up the second client.

As always, thanks for the help.:)
 
If you are on water another 100MHz should be easy!

And yeah, I would wait until you have finished the WU before you believe your benchies!

I've done loads of 2604s :)
 
There is a problem with Intel releasing the new E2xxx and E4xxx CPUs... means my spreadsheet for the foldy competition is out of date :p
 
I have done a little Orthosing and at 3.4Ghz I am now getting:

10:33 a frame at 2402.27 Ppd.

A gnats whisker better, and more Orthosing to come.

As a side note I presume the reason I can't find the shared folder on the Ubuntu install is I rather stupidly called my PC and Ubuntu install the same?
 
A little update, under native Ubuntu:

I think I might just go cry now :p :D


Actually since I'm now on a wired network again maybe I'll give dual-boot a spin, my GPU has been complaining a bit recently so I've had to clock it down :(
 
Damn 3.4!

Going to have to get my E6600 up a notch or two :p

Don't like these 1385 pointers! Running two clients and both have them. Only a combined 2000PPD :(
 
That's my Orthos stable limit at the moment without upping the VCore to silly levels, boots happily at 3.6Ghz but scared of upping Vcore. I'm running the units with -oneunit as I am experimenting to get the most out of my m/c.

My next experiment is to run Linux in VMWare, without the GUI and remove all the non-essential services.
