Nope its all about the WUs!!!
Really, think about it, each WU could be the one step they need. The points and all is just a way to get the competitive people like us to get the job done. The coolest thing is the fact that you and I, average schmucks are helping really smart people find the cause or even a cure to a disease.

Looking through " Terminal " -tail of the process for folding on the linux box I came across this. Also, I fixed the unknown argument, I had a fat finger in there. :D

Anyone have any ideads? 10 percent is an hour saved if it's repairable.

Average load imbalance: 35.4 %
Part of the total run time spent waiting due to load imbalance: 9.5 %
Steps where the load balancing was limited by -rdd, -rcon and/or -dds: X 0 % Y 0 %


NOTE: 9.5 % performance was lost due to load imbalance
in the domain decomposition.

Are the new GPU WUs more stable? My main rig has been running over 48 hours straight and not dropped down in PPD. Usually after about 12 hours, one of the two cards will drop to half. It happens more quickly if I raise the overclock.

Rob, have your cards quit dropping off?

My are more stable. But I also removed my PCIe extender cables. The cards are very close to each other but I have a 140mm fan sitting right on top of them for cooling (besides the ones behind them). I don't know if removing the cables did it or they did something to WUs.

Well. . . I found some deals and ended up pulling the trigger on a multi-processor build. I probably should've waited but, hell it's only money. It's a quad Socket F and I really wanted to find a quad Socket G34 but it'll have 24 cores and do EVERYTHING I need to do.

Code:
1 - Tyan S4985
4 - Opteron 8431 2.4GHz 6 core
4 - Kingston 2 x KVR800D2E5K2/4G
1 - Mushkin MKNPS1200-A 1200w PSU

I only have $600 in it now with just the RAM to buy. I am ordering it this week when I get around to it. I should have a loaded rig for just over a grand which is a great deal considering TigerDirect sells the board I got for just under a grand.

Also, if anyone is looking to pick up a SR-2 rig for cheap. There is one for sale on [H]ardForum.
Code:
SR2 dual L5640 rig
2x L5640 processors
6x 1Gb DIMMS
SilverStone Strider Plus 1KW power supply

>$2000
That's $3000 worth of parts not including the RAM.

I've already wasted all I need to. . . or. . . there's always tax return money.

I quit last summer (or was it the summer before?) when my computer started heating up my room too bad. Kept meaning to start it back up, but ended up getting into video encoding, and that keeps the thing busy now.

I wonder if they would care if I had my work PC folding after hours? :spit: That thing is a beast. :woott:
