some one post an offical way of doing the calc - that what it's a even field :D

time a frame*100 gives "total time in mins"
Points / "total time in mins" = points per min
"points per min" *60 = points per hour
Points per hour * 24 = points per day
 
Ok... in my opinion the following works...

Point for Wu = 1760
Time / frame = 614seconds

Sooo

614*100 = 61400second/WU = 1023minutes/WU = 17.05Hr/WU

1760/17.05 = 103.19 PPHour

103.19x24 = 2476 PPDay

if you can measure frame time in days then you need a faster PC :p

Tell me about it! :p
To do the unit conversions I just let Google do them for me.

Go to Google and type in 8 minutes 25 seconds *100 in days then divide 1148 by that number.

It yields: (8 minutes 25 seconds) * 100 = 0.584490741 days
1 148 / 0.584490741 = 1 964.10297
 
2% 6.51pm
7% 9.14pm

Project 2610, 1523 points.

Time to complete 5% = 2.63hrs
5% of 1523 = 76.15.
24/2.63 = 9.12
76.15 x 9.12 = 694ppd.


Be warned, my maths is rubbish. :(
Correct me if i'm wrong...

If i'm not wrong, thats giving me exactly the same ppd i get normally with good WUs, so i must be wrong...


Edit: Are there supposed to be 4 processes running? :confused:
I was expecting there to be one.

So is the general verdict that this is as good as multiple single clients on the same box? How about for a 2-proc hyperthreading xeon box? I'm currently running 3 instances on each of these as to not load it too much, but as I have so many boxes, I don't have a reliable way of measuring comparable performance between the new and the old.

does work with FAHMON just like normal but without ETA and other info.

It can do better than that.

If you've got version 2.1.5b.4 or later, I've just posted a thread on FCF to help you get it monitoring Win SMP WUs correctly.

See here: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=18570

It'll take about 30 seconds of your time to sort it out.

It's much, much, much better than 2 or 4 single clients on my dual HT'd Xeons. I recommend this highly if you can tolerate its buggyness (it is beta software after all).
 
The PPD seems to be at least double that of standard WUs on my system.

Welcome to the forums, Fungus; something of a legend in our midst. ;)
 
Courtesy of uncle_fungus's excellent work fahmon is now giving me a ppd figure of 670.
Considering i can get that with the normal client i'm quite disappointed tbh... and i'm fairly sure the linux smp client is miles better...
