Woot, finished my first WU, was a 1000 one, only took like 8 hours on my athlon XP 1900, but yet the I'm doing a 2500 on my Athlon XP 3200+ and I'm still at 934/2500 after 24 hours???!!!???

Lots of things affect how long a particular wu takes, not just the number of steps. You may have a very simple molecule with 1000 steps, or a very complex molecule with the same number of steps. Obviously there are a lot more ways a complex molecule can fold, so the process takes much longer. But you should also get a lot more points for the complex one.Quote:

After the first WU, they seem to be going much faster now. The Gromac tags really do help alot!
Just started a tinker, this CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

On an Athlon XP 3200, this thing won't finish until next January!
Is there anyway to kill the current project and start new one?
dont you mean august 2029?
Oh yeah... I was looking at when the next frame will finish... Even worse now.Quote:

You've got something seriously wrong there, it takes me about 36hrs to process project 638. Maybe it just hasn't been running long enough to work out the speed, since it hasn't completed a frame yet.
God I hope so... :ph34r:Quote:

Ok, so it was a glitch I guess as the one that was gonna take like 20 years is now done, but I have something else that seems weird to me as well. It may just be because I've only done like 28 WU's, but, I just got a Amber Core. I thought it was just Gromac and Tinker... Oh well.
Current projects
You obviously haven't had a DGROMACS or a QMD yet either.
do the dgromacs, ambers and qmd,s use different cores, just checked my install directory and i only have cores 65 and 78
Each type has it's own core, that's the very thing that differentiates them.
I've got a core 79 on one machine and I'm pretty sure that's Dgromacs. Not sure what cores Ambers and QMDs use.
QMD cores may use up to 1GB of main memory (source), possibly even more, but they will only run on Intel chips.
got a core 82 on my other machine, dont know what that is though
That must be an amber. I think I've had one of those too.
Well done, everyone.
:w00t:
And a whopping 2% of that is from me :lol: I keep kicking my computer. but it just won't work any faster :ohmy:
...Back folding for the team... :)
Congratulations to lynx for reaching 200,000 points!
I hadn't even noticed. :whistlingQuote:

Well come on clocker you and I can make a race of it...we shall have to leave the super-folders to a league of their own...
Don't know if this is a good idea...no one will ever catch lynx or virtual...
so...why not start a new team for members that have only one CPU ? :D
:blink: But I finally moved into 9th place the other day:cry:
I can't believe how long it is taking to catch up to all the inactive members ahead of me, really makes me feel inferior:blushing:
:lol: :lol:

has ambushed my two computers and is contributing to an other folding@home team..so when I , sometime in the near future, in the holst of the night, change the team number back to 34905 and pray she doesn't notice ..then I would still be contributing to the team with multi processors... it just seemed a good idea. In the end every work unit that gets folded, goes to wards the good cause. It's just more fun when everyone is playing on an even playing field :) The spirit of competition...thought it might encourage a few sports to see if their computers have got what it takes...
:)
Congratulations to lynx for reaching 300000 points.
Yes well done lynx congratulations :D ...erm what was the team number again?
Team #34905Quote:

I've been slacking lately, sold a processor a few weeks ago but hope to replace it in a couple of days time, X64 system also been down for a couple of weeks because it's been so warm here. I'll soon jack those rates up to reasonable figures again.Quote:
