Folding@Home: 24 hour stats 5-21-2006

[GLeeM]

Just a bit of info for those interested:
F@H WUs have deadlines. The length of the deadline depends mostly on how many points the WU is worth. The more points, the longer it takes to crunch, the longer the deadline. A 1000 Mhz CPU, if on 24/7 can easily make the deadline. They need a deadline because the next WU in the series is made from the one you send in.

They decide on the points the WU is worth by benchmarking it on a P4 2.8 with SSE turned off. This computer would get 110 PPD. Different WUs run differently on various hardware. If a WU uses SSE2/3 you will see a kind of bonus if your computer has SSE2/3 because it will finish faster than the benchmark computer!

Some, currently not many, WUs are given a bonus if they are large up/downloads (>5 MB) and/or use an extraordinary amount of computer resources. To have a chance of getting any of these, during config answer yes to the >5 MB question. At this time do not use the -advmethods flag for the best chance at getting one of these.

It seems that the assignment of WUs is random and to some extent this is true, but mostly they assign by which projects they currently need to have done soonest.

Sorry about any slight name differences. Or errors.

Thanks to all who contributed - big and small
And thanks to those who are crunching a WU and will be on the list soon

Thanks for the stats Gleem!

For verification are you saying to remove the -advmethods flag?

I went down to frys today to see if they had any deals on X2 3800s to keep nate off my butt, but alas they were the same $320. This would of been a great race to 120K.

Thanks for the stats, Gleem. :thumbsup:

The summer has brought good things down here on the farm in Indiana... Unlike at college, my laptop can stay plugged in and online 24/7, so that's a PPC G4 1.5GHz crunching, albeit slowly. I've also got an 800MHz Duron that was just switched from Smoothwall to OpenSUSE so it can run F@H, and tonight I added a P4 3GHz to the fold; it's a remote box that I'll have to dump manually once a week, but 2x clients doing bulk batches of deadlineless WUs can still help a bit. Now if Stanford would just get their GPU client finished...

Anyway, what is the current status of the optimized WUs in conjunction with AMD Athlon 64 processors? Will it help if I remove -advmethods, or does that only benefit P4 users?

 

[Kougar]

ZipZoomFly has X2 3800's for $297 shipped, if you were being serious?

Thanks for making a point to mention the currently running projects list! Was pretty simple to find the "5way_melt" on that thing... Even at 3.41ghz with HT off and very little running, it's chomping out an hour and 15 minutes per "step", or whatever it's called. The Pent M in contrast had been chewing through them in 18 minute batches instead, so I was starting to wonder about that....

As a sidenote, I installed F@H on a Pentium4 using a PCI Matrox Mystique card, and the GUI version runs just fine...

They discontinued the QMDs to do the science on them. They may start different ones again .... or not.

I think there are/were some bonus large WUs for Linux computers exclusively. Not sure how to configure to get them though.

Hmmm.....
The 14## project WUs need WUs > 5 MB and no flag. I think they are the only bonus WUs currently for Windows and are few and far between.

It seems easier (in the last few weeks) to get DGROMACS (the ones that use SSE2/3) with the -advmethods flag.
Can anyone else confirm this?

 

[bunker]

A few things..

First, thanks for the stats GLeeM!

I just installed F@H on a p3 600mhz. Ouch, reporting 2 weeks to finish the first WU. Good thing the deadline is 4 weeks .

Second, are there any tracking apps that can track my wu's? I'd like to be able to go back and look and see the protein, point value, start time, finish time, etc... by machine/processor.
Electron Microscope will do this, but only if you are logged in and it is running (I'm running F@H as a service and don't stay logged into the machines)

I've got 2 folders: an XP 3200+ and an X2 3800+ Gonna be adding a XP-M 2600+ that clocks to 3200+ as soon as I buy a case and another copy of win-xp, and maybe a 1.2 Ghz Athlon if I can make myself tolerate the noise from the hard drive

Thanks for the stats GLeeM :thumbsup:

I'm not sure if there is anything like that, but you could look here or in the stickied Tools List thread there.
