I just got a protein "1666 p980_fk_bi_sdtogb" and in the task manager the core is FahCore7a.exe. Has anyone else acquired one of these yet? On the project summary page it says this is a "GBGROMACS". At the bottom of this page http://folding.stanford.edu/gromacs.html is a little snippet about it. Anyone else get these?
 
I just checked all of my boxen, and no sign of that one yet, although, there's been a ton of new stuff coming out of there the last few days.

Like you guys said, it doesn't appear that there is any info other than the blurb about it being an experimental core. Even the project and server status pages don't have anything about it.

 
i had one of these, 19 points i think, EM III called it a "Double Gromac" whatever that means

 
K, I've got one too now, p982_fk_bi_vtogb, roughly 7 mins per frame, but with the most recent dat file for EMIII it's only showwing the name of the protein and no time information.

According to Stanford, this series more often uses core 79. but they must be moving this one into the new core 7a.

I had a double gromac yesterday on a machine. I didn't pay much attention it though, so I didn't bother to look at the core.

I just finished that first one and got the same protein as you, with the same results in EMIII. I see the name and an image of the protein, but no points info or time info.

 
I have had a bunch of 19 pointers come thru lately but honestly other than them being double Gromacs I hadn't looked beyond that. EM3 handled them all properly as far as I could tell.

 
I honestly don't even monitor my machines at all. I check them to make sure the process is running ok, and let em run. So I couldn't even tell you guys anything about it, other than I got one too.

i had a double Gromac once, it was 160 points...it was great for my Dell laptop (since it's Intel)
 
Seen several of those cores try to run on the X2 4400+.

Crashed and burned like Knievel at Snake River, every damned time.

Rebooted the box, it tried again, tossed them out the door like cat litter and grabbed Tinkers and the 600-point buggers. It is happily chewing away on those at this time, log excerpt follows...

And so on and so forth. Could be a flaky switch here, but web pages load fine and I can d/l huge ISOs like the Gentoo 2005.1 installer with zilch errors.
 
Are all of us that are getting these running -advmethods? I've gotten a few of them, chewed through most of them okay, I had one that went so far south though, it locked up my boxen.

That would make the only reliable explanation that these are apparently a beta protein or something?

 
i have one that is locking up one of my boxen i think. I going into work tom to check it out

 
A64 3500+ stock, so 2.2 GHz, and after looking through this afternoon's logs, it appears that its closer to 6 mins per frame.

 
All of them I have gotten have been on my X2 4400+ and I have had no problems at all that I have seen (But then again I rarely look at the logs anymore. With so many borgs out there I just look at totals to see where I am (to make sure teh borgs are still borging)

no. my laptop is running with no flags -- it's the service installer, and i made sure it didn't get timeless, but that's it.

well, i also made sure it didn't get bigWUs
 
I got a one or two of those the other day.... EMIII wasn't showing anything on the progress bars, so I went to check out what was going on.... saw the core and did a double take... Though, I am using the beta client, with -advmethods -local -forceasm, etc as a service.... I'll look tonight to see which proc. it was and how it did.......


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
My 1.15G celery picked up one of these tonight. Worth 138pts.

I'm just waiting for the equivilent to QMDs for AMD (please god(read stanford))

 
EMIII was reporting almost 10 pph on my Sempron 2200+ (@ 1.67GHz)..... holy hell that's almost 250 ppd for a Sempron!!!


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
Ya, my 1.15G celery is putting out 3.72PPH (90PPD). I like these cores. Yes, yes I do...
