44 pointers

Ten of my fourteen clients are working 44 point Gromacs.

p520
p522
p523
p524
p525
p526

I just find it interesting how work units of certain types seem to come in waves.

Yup, I've had a spew of 44, 41, and even 23 pointers lately. Haven't seen any of those big fish 200+ point tinkers at all.

My folder has been working exclusively these 44 pointers for the last few days and well, they just don't have the ppd ratio of other work units. So my production is down a bit. These work units are not all that bad but there are better out there.

Well, just starting out here but that's all I've been getting for the most part.

Last night I got what looks like a 177pt gromacs so hopefully that'll make up for all the smaller point work units I've gotten.

That's all I've got it seems.

Sigh. Gimme some dgros or those giant Tinkers!

Glad I'm not the only one. Three of my four folders have been stuck with these ones for five days now. (Luckily, my "champion folder" (a pathetic 2.4Ghz laptop) has been getting DGromacs exclusively!

)

On my old-school Athlon, I've been wishing for Tinkers... any Tinkers (no SSE on that chip), but haven't been getting them. Seems a little backwards!

Damn... I spoke too soon. Now all four are stuck with 'em.

The "good" news is that two of my folders are so slow, that by the time they finish their current WU's, Stanford probably won't have any more 44-pointers left to dish out!

These work units are "average" in terms of points on my hardware. Neither good nor bad. I like them because they are "small" - less than 10 hours on my faster hardware. It's just kind of boring having all the same thing.

Exactly, lots of small WUs is okay, but I like the DGromacs for my P4. They also seem to increase the chance of problems - yesterday I found my Barton trying hoplessly to get some new work from the 100 server. Finally it did, but on a PC you would rather not reboot because its got other software running when it happens its annoying. Also my P4 seems to abort a lot of these when undervolted and/or overclocked. The DGromacs run fine at 1.25v - Give me more I say, for the summer!

lots of them here as well ... 6 in total. Best frame time is 5:21 on the
XP 2600+ at 2.3Ghz (overclocked yet still silent)

Those 44 pointers didn't look especially ugly or beautiful to me. Being able to post points within the day keeps the enthusiasm up so I have no problems with them.

Just be careful you're not stuck with a 135 point 20 min/frame gromacs. Grrr, it's killing me.

you mean those p212_villinURE212? Frame time is 15:18 min on the AMD XP 2600+ at 2.3Ghz (total time a bit more than one day)

Hot damn, 13 out of 14 clients are running these 44-pointers. That's almost as exciting as watching my odometer roll over to x0000.
