Great!!! :)

How long do the WU's take??

depends on the WU type u get and the machine ur crunching on, the WU I got on my 900 Mhz is a GROMACS core, runs 20000 steps at about 1 minute a step, my 3 Ghz got a AMBER core WU, runs 500 steps, but much longer per step. The 900 Mhz is a 24/7 cruncher, so it should have the WU done in a little under two weeks, but my 3 Ghz stays off at night, so it will take maybe a week to finish its WU. dont fear tho, u get plenty of credit per workunit (tho my stats on folding website says ive done 45 WUs, i've actually only done 3, got 2684 credits for them). U have the option of crunching deadline or non-deadline workunits, but the deadlineless WUs are longer, usually the GROMACS core.


Edit: I've seriously got to post on here more, i've been with the team for almost a year now and that damn one star newbie is still under my name :(

Thanks outlawolf. Do you use any advanced methods or do you run Electron Microscope III ?

PROBLEM: started to move out of BONIC to F@H
but the WU will end on 16 SEP 2007, YES 416Days :shock:

The Processor was on a heavy load when the benchmark started, will the date change as I move some of the load to another CPU?

Can't you just rerun the benchmarks. That should bring everything back in line. ?????

I think the only people that *may* understand boinc are the programers that work on it. It's got to make sense to someone somewhere. Whether or not they are of this world is hard to tell! :twisted:

If it starts getting a bit cooler over here in London then I'll gladly fire F@H up for the race on all my boxes!

Which runs best the Linux, Windows GUI or the Windows CLI version?

I don't think it really matters much unless you are running XP64 on X2 AMD chips. How many systems are you talking about?

I was scoping out the TPR stats and output earlier today. They have some serious daily production over there from their regular daily members. I don't really have any idea of what they may pick up in terms of additional crunchers for a race, but one would have to assume that they will pick up some more crunchers.

What we need are some farmers willing to run the race for a month. However like you, I am in the middle of a long running hot spell and cannot run my farm as it is just to much for the A/C. And it appears that the heat issue is pretty wide spread this summer. Plus I see that rolling blackout are hitting various areas.

When grouped together a little over 20Ghz - I didn't use them all for the Championship so it would be fun to see what they would do!

I'll add my 5.12 GHz (2*2.56) at least 12/7 until RS has sorted out most of their bugs, then i'll run F@H 24/7.

Will i have to run two F@Hs or is F@H mult-threaded?
