system in question: CPU: Core 2 duo @3.0GHz. VGA: 1900GT I was wondering, should I let it run 2 CPU for SMP, or should I run regular 1 CPU and leave the other CPU to Feed the GPU client? Which will be better from scientific perspective? I know for sure that running 2 CPU and ignoring the GPU would ...

EOC will probably show your credit on it's next update. You did receive full credit for that WU. Hi Imzjustplayin (team 198), Your WU (P2653 R24 C142 G77) was added to the stats database on 2008-03-15 04:19:12 for 1760 points of credit. The 218 point WU was from your Win2k machine. Hi Imzjustplayin...

I just submitted my WU for Project: 2653 (Run 24, Clone 142, Gen 77) at around 4am. This should be a project with 1760points, instead I only got 218 points. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ ... =&u=176615 (listed under 6am) It was past "preferred deadline" by about 1 hour 45minu...

I was wondering, since I'm going to miss the preferred deadline by 2 hours, does that mean that if start crunching at 3:01am and the result I submit arrives at 5 am two days later, would I still be safe? How exactly does the preferred deadline work? Are ALL WU that exceed the preferred deadline auto...

I neglected to mention that there is REAL scientific value in very fast clients because they can run the simulations in less real time. Complete simulations that would take dozens of years can now be done in months. Pande group obviously decides which projects to assign to which clients. I presume ...

Notice something there? They're called the PS3 and GPU clients, last time I checked, there was no PS3 with a 386SX and there was no GPU in a 386SX based machine so your point is void.

6000+, 1d 7h 54m on a 2653, which IS fine within the limits of the hardware I chose to buy . If you want to run faster than that, buy different hardware. Anyways, they make an SMP client yet it can only run on a limit set of hardware, what kind of nonsense is this? The SMP client should be able to ...

AMDs handle the SMP just fine. My 6000+ has done 144 of them and even my 1.6GHz Turion laptop did quite a few before developing heat issues. The smaller L2 cache makes them slower than Intel, but they still work fine. And how quickly do they accomplish them? Unless they accomplish the WU in 1 day, ...

...and if you look at it that way, they have twice the advantage in terms of points accumulation. Which can be explained by factors A, B and C in my post above. I see no reason why they don't allow its usage on a single processor system, the only loophole for this is to have it run on a P4 with HT ...

How can Pande Group expect the PPD for the SMP projects to be an apples to apples comparison with the non SMP projects if they're using a different benchmark machine? No-one has ever stated that it is an apples-apples comparison. The SMP benchmark machine, and the point values were set arbitrarily ...

And they should benchmark a multi-core client on a single core how...? Well for one it's actually not that difficult. You make all the threads run on one processor, it's the act of putting a single core client on multiple processors is where the trouble is and since they've solved that issue, the p...

The FAH project has been running 6 years. imzjustplayin is not the first to make claims like this, and he won't be the last to be proven less than fully knowledgable about how things work either. Fine, if he won't accept the explanation about how the CPU and SMP benchmarks are aligned using the pro...

Oh dear, you are so very, very wrong. Why would Uncle_Fungus need to check your screen grab? After all it is his own site and I imagine he is well aware of how he programmed it. Why don't you try to understand the FAQ's. Read them again, maybe some more will sink in. Just because you say or wrote s...

First off that is wrong, the SMP benchmark is NOT 1780PPD. One of the SMP projects IS 1760 points. If you run the SMP project on two processors and it finishes in one day, that comes out to 880PPD. The PPD are calculated PER CORE, if you're not going to read what I have to say and the evidence I ha...
