48 core rig thread here - it was the fastest rig in [H] while it was folding for us.

10e gracefully took it elsewhere so I could reclaim the title with SR2#3
Are you going to make it into a 64-core monster when Interlagos is out? o_0Always about you isn't it? Hope the rain hasn't seeped into your head (kidding!). She'll be back now that my other team has reached their billion points. Sounds paltry doesn't it
To answer the OP, folding@home scales almost linearly with more cores on the Magny-Cours. My times-per-frame are almost exactly 50% of what they were with 2 chips/24-cores.
My 24 core rig had a TPF on 2684s of around 27 - 28 minutes and now, with 24 more cores it went down to the 13:50 - 14:00 minute range.
The other 268x units show similar gains. Only 6900s I'm not sure about because the old 24-core rig with chips at stock speeds never ran one.

You took my dream rig to another team?
Oh well, at least you plan to bring it back!

It's crazy with the flooding there. Happy summer.Yes I saw that. I was lurking a bit here, but didn't get a chance to comment. I was out folding you both last week (add three "e's" to my username for the other folding man-mistress, err... account) until musky upgraded another SR2 courtesy of Tobeat who can go "finger" himself in a mirror
Glad to hear that you and your SR-2, and human family are not waterlogged
We can always have more races in the future. I think I can add a couple of clients and bitchslap that musky back into humility LOL. Just kidding, couldn't resist. Challenge of the three folding chimps or something. Dunno about the french dude being interested in that though.
My wife loves the computer-part wallpaper in the basement.
Definitely looking forward to finding that out if I can. The old A2 SMP folding binaries didn't scale properly, but A3 is looking good, and I believe Pande Group is looking at that.
She's gonna be back, but for some reason I have to actually hook up a monitor/keyboard to her because ever since I've replaced my old dying D-Stink DIR-655 router with an equally crappy StinkSys E3000, she only seems to respond to my Win7 clients on IPv6, not at all over RDP, and the built-in KVM is awol too. But she's still folding so it's something to do with the routers. Consumer junk routers.
Price of entry is not cheap, so your memory is bang on. Things don't change
Yeah. For that much PPD, it's not worth the investment or the power consumption. There are definitely better options. It's been discussed to death, but if you can get your hands on Sandy Bridge hardware, that can't be beat for PPD/$ or PPD/W. The defect is really a non-issue at the moment, since it won't affect anything until a few years down the line, can be bypassed if you only use the two SATA 6Gbps ports, and if you get a board now, you can just get it replaced by a fixed version when they're available. Failing that, you could put together an i7 rig for a few hundred, or, as you mentioned, you can go with an SR-2 setup (FLECOM's even selling one right now).
