Folding Forum

Any one else have one of these ? it's taking about 40 min per frame. It is a high point value Wu,
so I expect it to tax the system. Just wondering if these times are average
running on a Q6600 / 2 gig ram / stock clocking

My laptop's ppd dropped from about 1280 to 550 (frame times now at 56 minutes on a T7100) since I just got this WU. My laptop was getting project 2605, but this 5102 is a nightmare. I don't really care about maxing out points, but this is a little absurd.

Project: 5102 (Run 0, Clone 109, Gen 0)

Getting poor PPD here too with this project.

Running Linux/Ubuntu on a Q6600 @ 3.0 Ghz with 4 Gig of 667Mhz ram.

TPF ~23 minutes.

PPD ~1310

Most other projects produce 2500-3000 PPD on this computer, except the P2665 project which also runs fairly slow.

Me too I've now had either P5101 or P5102 work units for the last 7 or 8 runs. The P5102 gives about half the ppd of just about all the other WU I have done. The P5101 gives about a 20% drop compared to others.
I fold for the competition aspect, not the science and it's hard to justify running 2 dedicated folding machines 24/7 with these coming my way.

By the way one of the other folders in the team I am in are reporting only small ppd drops. They use AMD dual cores whereas I am running a q6600 and a q9450. What are you on AMD or Intel and does this make a difference?

Ubuntu 8.04 q660@3.00GHz 4 Gig DDR2 8500 RAM
Mandriva 2008.1 q9450@3.00GHz 4 Gig DDR2 8500 RAM

From what I heard, Dan is looking at the benchmark value to figure out if something went wrong in the process ...

5102 has 65% more atoms than 5101 yet they both worth the same points. Somethig have to be wrong for sure. Running here Kubuntu with a Q6600@3.4 Ghz and two console clients, 5101 produces 1700 PPD wile 5102 only 1060 PPD. What is the logic after this?? In this same machine two all so hated 2665 produce + 2000 PPD each at the same time.

many full time folders run 4 clients on quad cores with the Linux OS.

if you get these 5102 or even 5101, then 2 of them will not make the dead lines...

were these tested???

is there a problem with them????

is this sabotage???

Let me check with Dan regarding the sabotage part. For sure he will say there is no sabotage...

I'm pretty sure he'll charge Bigfoot for that

I make every 5102 in less than 49H, the Preferred deadline is 5 DAYS

Hmm I dont like these two SMP projects being in the 5xxx project range

I would like them a lot more if the points for them were in the 5xxx range

This one is actually one of Peter Kasson's projects. He's looking into the points and rebenchmarking.

We have re-benchmarked project 5102. It is now valued at 3340 points, deadline 8 days.

Many thanks for looking into this. I am sure this will keep the Linux SMP folders happier about this project.
