Oops!...I did it again..

It is done been running for a few days, and it depends on the work unit :)

Its currently crunching a P2692 at 00:07:08 per frame or 269,300.21 PPD

Before that it was on a 6904 mahoosive WU at just on 00:20:30 per frame or around 470K PPD

Its more than twice as fast at any given work unit than the SR-2 but bear in mind the following:

SR-2 is dual Xeons, 12 cores, 24 threads (smp 24) with HT @ 4.2Ghz
G35 is quad Optys, 48 cores, 48 threads (smp 48) no HT @ 2.3Ghz

Nice numbers, I see you are back on the top spot in the team for production as well :)

What OS are you using? I take it it has to be linux?

4 x 12core cpu's no HyperThreading so one thread per core, so thats 12 x 4 = 48 cores = 48 threads.

Same as BaBa has but without the overclocking, max speed is 2.3Ghz

May I enquire why no overclocking? is it because BaBa's CPUs are engineering samples so don't have locked multipliers and yours do or is it its just so damned expensive you don't want to risk damaging it?
 
I guess this will win at cost per unit vs the sr2 over time due to using less than double the leccy. Looks sweet btw :D
 
Collosal...I wanted to build something similar...apparently Win7 is supported but is Windows programmed to work with more than 1 CPU? If not you could definately use 1 CPU for Windows and run a Unix variant on the side at the same time, no?

I've heard of people running two OS's at the same time, completely independent (Not VM etc).
 
No that wouldn't be possible, the OS thing without some virtual layer.

Win7 is limited to 2 processors so that wouldn't work, for Windows you would need Server, preferably 2008 R2 to get half decent performance, but for folding Linux is the business. :)

SR-2 with 2 Xeon 5500s for a total of £900 approx.! (Plus case and all, but still!)

And yeah, you could also set up a Unix OS on it and control it with a Win7 machine. It could be your workhorse!
 
Nah Westmere x5650's or L5640's are the sweet spot for folding on Xeons, 5500's are the old Gainstown 4 core.

So your looking at more like £2K+ with memory

Not sure where you are going with the multiple OS thing, but let us know how you get on with it :)

A friend in Canada does this all the time. He uses a standard Windows 7 PC to set up a x264 video compression for a particular video then he sends the commands to his Solaris server right next to it. Can compress 1280x720 at 2 minutes per minute! (48FPS, media is 24FPS)
