Re: Project 13850 - Shorter than expected timeout

It helps a lot. At this pace the whole WU could have finished in under 2 hours. I'll try lowering the thread count a little more to find the optimum.

Re: Project 13850 - Shorter than expected timeout

Okay, that's good to know. Yes, I'm consistently using the CPU for other things such as watching videos on youtube. Because of hyperthreading the CPU actually has 32 threads. I set folding@home to use 28. Let's see if it helps.

Re: Project 13850 - Shorter than expected timeout

The timeouts are too short for the amount of work. My computer is currently busy with a WU for Project 14412. The timeout is only 24 hours later, while it takes 6 hours to finish. I don't want to run folding@home 24/7, only when I already use my computer, so with such a short deadline and so much wo...

Re: point system is getting ridiculous...

I can understand the purpose of the point system, more points for more scientific value to stimulate people to return work units fast and use certain clients, but personally, important: personally, I don't really like this. I would rather have a point system that actually represents the amount of wo...

Re: point system is getting ridiculous...

Why do big CPU wu's give so many points and small ones (standard 1 CPU client) not? By the way, my GPU gives many more points working 24/7 than my CPU when using SMP client with 4 cores, 2,66 GHz. GPU, Nvidia 8800 GTS 512MB only is about 5000 points per day, SMP more like 1700, could be 200 points o...
