Stupid Small WU's

On the 28th the P4 got 4 wu's worth a total...total of 265 points. Crunched them all but damn were those small wu's. Anybody else catching really tiny wu's? And yeah I know it is cyclic and we won't always get 600 pointers....actually on the P4 the 300+ point gromacs get better production for me so I would really like those......so I am just bitching.
 
I'll bitch right along with ya. Yea, getting smaller WU's too. Really kills the output in terms of points.

I've seen this on other forums too.

Yeah I have seen your downward trend lately. Just got to add more boxes I guess
;)
 
I had a batch of small WU as well but I got another 600 pointer going after a couple of days!

That's gonna be changing soon.... I should have a nice little "burst" in a few weeks.

Nice. Wish I got a good burst any time :rolleyes: Damn 500mhz and slower machines. :rolleyes:
 
What do you consider a large or small WU? I ahve a 125 running on the console one and a 400 on the screen saver version...both crunching away...

The 400 is big. The 125 to me is small by the current metrics.
 
Ive got 5 old systems crunching away on 30 point tinkers....so quit yer bitchin.

I have 3 systems taking down 241s right now though too :)
 
Here's a list of what pointers I've got right now:

46, 84, 69, 69, 155, 114, 114, 66, 69, 99, 57, 241, 66, 241, 69, 114, 122, 241, 69, 122
^^^This is the only one I have set for big units, and it's got the smallest one of them all!!!!

ARRRGGGHHH!!!

Oh Well

Fold on!!!

I've got 4 at home (3 PCs, one with HT) and they're all crunching on 600 pointers.... my P$ 2.66 here at work just picked up a 600 pointer... but my other work PC has been crunching on AMBER cores for the last few days.... 66 points.... 57 points....


Keep on Folding!!

 
I guess some of us are just unlucky. I got 2 600 pointers in the last 4 days, everything else on the large unit boxen I have, has been 302 and lower. I've got one right now that wants big units and its got a 69 point p1803 unit. There's also been a run on ~100 point double gromacs here lately... not sure what is up with that.

 
My machines have worked through their 600's now and are all chewing on various other 'small' pointies. 364 & 343 points are the largest I can see ATM.

Most of my systems are less than 500mhz. I only have three faster which have been catching the tiny stuff. I depend on those to produce all my daily points. The little ones barf up a wu a month or so.
 
I like the 66 and 69 point Ambers I have been getting lately on a couple of my boxen. The PIII 700 seems to chew through them faster than Gromacs and Tinkers for better points. Plus, it's not sitting there for a week or more working on one unit. I have an XP 2400+@2.2 Ghz borg that has been chewing through the Ambers rather well also. I'd like to run bigpackets on it but it's a friend's machine and he only has 512 meg of RAM. I don't want him to run into something that will need more RAM and start paging like crazy. These two mentioned systems give me most of my "filler" points while the rig in my sig and my Morgon core 1 Ghz Duron chew on 600 pointers most days. The small Ambers get me good PPD on the machines that run them. I think they are about perfect for PIII systems and systems that don't chew through bigpackets very quick.

 
Yeah for less powerful they are ok but for the 2.8c it is kind of ho-hum
 
When I changed my settings last week to accept 600 pointers the first one I got was a 600. Since then its been 125's.
 
I guess I've been lucky- one of my rigs is down from a blown PSU, but my P-M lappie's pulled in 11 of my 15 WUs, and averaged about 500pts apiece. Meanwhile, my AXP pulled in the other 1000ish from 4 WUs.

(Semi-related: for some reason, my lappie dropped a 400-frame WU today at about 125, and just randomly started a NEW 125. WTF??)
 
My current gripe with the small WUs is that I have 6 boxes sharing 1 4-port router so I am constantly busy switching the Cat5 cables. Should only be a problem for a couple more days and I would rather have the problem than just have 4 boxes.

How many points is this new WU I just got? it's 1000 frames.

We need the project number it starts with p(then a number)
 
The project number is P1278_proj1278_at1nat_GROMACS core

That's what it says, thanks
 
wow, on one of my Rigs that normaly gets 600 pointers, I just got a 76 point Gromacs/

:mad: :mad:
 
Do P4's not like gromacs or something? During this run of small units the last few days, one of my boxes got a 186 pointer and its been slamming it for almost 2 whole days at 25 mins a frame. The odd thing is, it thrashed a ton of the smaller double gromacs....

Those double Gros take advantage of SSE2 that may be why! :D

You need a switch. Then again, for now so do I although in the next month or so I'm going to have to get a router when I finally move my rigs into my apartment. Right now I'm stuck using an old 5 port 10 megabit hub connected to my friend's 10/100 router. When transferring files back and forth between the systems it really sucks being stuck at 10 megabit half duplex.

The sad thing is I'm just too lazy. I have 2 4 port routers (10/100) and a 4 port hub (10) but haven't set up the hub. I need to remember how to make an uplink Cat5 cable.
 
I thought that you just used a straight CAT5 cable? I thought the uplink port did the crossover for you?

If not, there's a how-to in a sticky at the top of the Networking forum.... it has the wire assignments,etc


Keep on Folding!!

Yep, that'll do it.

I use a 16-port hub for debugging network stuff. Being able to see all the traffic from all the computers is useful sometimes ;)

Depends on the hub and router I believe. I think, in this case, I need a crossover cable which I believe is just switch one of the pairs. I will go look in the how-to. I'll try with a standard CAT5 of course :) No reason to deal with it until I move though.

I believe that Gromacs is a 300 pointer.

Make one end a and one b and you have crossover.

Thanks Spectre. That's the best description of it I've gotten so far.

No problem. Just don't ask me to make it. Being colorblind=lots of bad cabling :eek:

No problem. I had to do an emergency office rewire one long evening, helping my IT guys. We rewired 48 patch cables and rewired almost 80 female connectors. The contractors really screwed that one up. Since then I'm pretty good at it and even have my own cable, terminators and crimper.
