What a huge effort 1,000,000 points congratulations

ballbelter

Congrats SSRATTUS. Couple more days and you'll be number 2 also. What hope do the rest of us have

Thanks guys, knew it was happening soon... would have got there faster if I hadn't stuffed up the team number 30k points have gone elsewhere

Well done on the million points.

Props mate...great stuff...

Well done mate, just a quick question, whats ur average ppd on your quad core, as mine (q6700) seems a little lite on.

ssrattus

Depends... there is a new work unit out, 2665 I think, that scores a little lower than the rest. I run 2 SMP 5.91 beta6 cores with a the SMP Affinity Changer Folding Forum • View topic - SMP Affinity Changer to ensure all CPU cycles are used on the Q6600. You get more points that way and as long as you don't exceed the preferred deadline I don't see a problem with doing it although ""in the interest of good science, please run one FahCore per physical CPU core" is the recommended way. See Folding Forum • View topic - Running two WUs at the same time You run 2 SMP cores because the WU used to be inefficient and you didn't fully utilize your CPU. But they are getting better and may stop doing it soon.

Still haven't answered your question... something around 1900PPD with a single SMP core I think, I'll check tonight.

Of course running SMP cores can be troublesome with them deciding not to continue folding... ie it stops at x% and then does no more. If you don't keep checking it'll stay that way forever. With 2 SMP cores stopping them with a ctrl-c can be a problem and both cores WUs are "corrupted" and it starts them again.

Ty for the reply. I am also running affinity (as of 2 days ago) on my quad core, with 2 x 5.91 clients. Tried the new clients but had nothing but dramas.

Fahmon is showing 2574.94 ppd on my quad core. Tried it on dual core, but way 2 slow. Will check over the next few days to see how it runs.

Btw, have a look @ this pic, and u will see what I mean about my score seeming a little lite on

Once again, well done on the big 1 mill.

Any1 else out there folding on dual or quad cores, would love to know what fahmon is reporting for the benchmarks.

ssrattus

You're overclocking and doing well.

I have 2 Q6600 PCs and the 2665 WUs are horrible, low points and 20Mb WU results to send back compared to 2653 with 5Mb WU results.

PC1 For WU 2665 I get 1241 ppd and for WU 2665 I get 1242 ppd

PC2 For WU 2665 I get 1241 ppd and for WU 2653 I get 1552 ppd.

I am using FAHSpy to monitor, so there may be some differences in the ppd calc cf FAHMon.

cabbaguy

I wish that was me, its a pic taken from the affinity changer post. I have just overclocked my quad core system, and have started 2 fresh clients, both 5.91with affinity running.

I havent had a result as yet, as the 1st 2 crashed, so I will let this run its course and see what happens, if it crashes again maybe its 2 unstable and will change a few things around.

ssrattus

I tried overclocking initially but only had crashing WUs. Those CPU-z numbers show the core voltage raised to 1.2 volts from something around the normal 1 volts.

cabbaguy

Hmmm ok, I wonder if my config of the Fah client is correct, as I have a quad core 6700 which has been slightly overclocked (2 gig ram), and my ppd are less then yours.

2665 - 1144 ppd
2665 - 1088 ppd

Reported by Fahspy

Hmmmmmmmmm just looked @ that pic again, do u run your clients with any flags ????

Sanity

Well done mate

ssrattus

Oops I just realised I gave you a bum steer, I have Q6600, the same as the piccy you posted, just not overclocked.... I'll change my earlier post to stop confusion.

initially only the -local flag, later the -advmethods and -forceasm, but these 2 were already configured when I initially set them up anyway, so they didn't actually change anything.

overnight some ppds have changed a little.

2665 - 1237 ppd
2653 - 1760 ppd

2665 - 1225 ppd
3064 - 1330 ppd

There is a site that is a database of hardware and ppd per Giga Hertz. fahinfo.org Folding @ Home PPD Database

cabbaguy

Hmmm seems like I have missed the local flag.

ssrattus

the -local flag didn't change ppd, I thought it may help stop both WUs corrupting if you stop one WU, but it didn't. They don't corrupt all the time anyway.

cabbaguy

From what I have read, dont use cntrl-c to stop them as it stops both and corrupts them, the way 2 do it now is with a restart apparently.

Update:

Have had a muck around and managed to get them up to this.

2665 - 1359 ppd
2665 - 1373 ppd

Much happier now, just hoping it be stable as I have lost about 7000 odd points already lol.
