also i noticed that the deadlines for these workunits are 6 days instead of the normal 4. So you KNOW its going to take more time than other SMP workunits, but you award LESS points for it???
You noticed the deadline changed to 6 days but you didn't notice the points changed to 1920.
2665 171.64.65.64 p2665_IBX in water 14170 6.00 6.00 1920.00 100 GRO-SMP Description kasson
I'm using a Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 GHZ with 4 GB of RAM on windows vista 32 "I'm getting around 3.2 GB of RAM because of the 32 bit os".
for other projects I would get an average of 2100 PPD, I got this project 6 Hrs ago and FahMon shows that I will get only 1054.16 PPD.
I have been getting P2665 only for the past 10 days, is this random or is it because I finished them all within the preffered deadline "less than 2 days" ???
I have my laptop running a SMP client. It's a C2D T7200 (2.0ghz). It normally earns ~1000-1200PPD. However, on project 2665, I'm earning 349PPD. At this rate, it will take me ~6 days to complete the WU. While I will complete it before the deadline, why is this project so different in regards to time/point?
My desktop (Q6600 @ 3.1) is also running a 2665 right now and is earned ~33-50% less PPD than normal.
Merged post with an already long running thread on this topic. Read back through it. -7im

Windows SMP client? You can tweak the performance on the dual-core a bit. Look up the 4 FahCore_a1.exe processes in Task Manager. One of them uses much more memory than the others. Right-click, assign affinity, set it to CPU 0. Assign other FahCore_a1.exe processes to CPU 1.
This is a bit of thread necromancy (all other posts about slow p2665 WU's pointed here) but I keep getting this WU over and over. on most 1920 point WU's it takes 3min20sec to 3min45sec to complete a frame, with this p2665 WU it takes > 9min minutes and uses less than 60% of my quad core.
If I can meet deadlines would it be OK to run this on 2 cores and run another VM on the other 2 cores? or is that bad for the science? It usually takes <6 hours to complete a normal WU on 4 cores.
Hardware configuration: Intel i7-4770K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR3-2133 Corsair Vengence (black/red), EVGA GTX 760 @ 1200 MHz, on an Asus Maximus VI Hero MB (black/red), in a blacked out Antec P280 Tower, with a Xigmatek Night Hawk (black) HSF, Seasonic 760w Platinum (black case, sleeves, wires), 4 SilenX 120mm Case fans with silicon fan gaskets and silicon mounts (all black), a 512GB Samsung SSD (black), and a 2TB Black Western Digital HD (silver/black).
Got one of these on my notfred install this morning and it completely locked the VM - it just sat there idle for hours, it wouldn'y even allow me to issue a killall command, ended up having to delete the main folding vm file and restarting. perhaps the power outage the other day has caused some glitches in the system
