What frame times for 600 point wu?

[annoncompgeek]

I just started folding again recently and I'm running my new A64 rig. I was wondering how long it should take a socket 939 3400+@ 2.55 ghz to complete a frame of a 600 point wu. As of right now I'm only getting a frame done in 25:59.
Does that sound about right or is there more speed to be unleashed?

[dicecca112]

ha, consider yourself lucky on my Xeon setup its 52mins a frame.

[Leviathan41]

That sounds about right, in fact that's pretty good I think. :thup:

[Arlo_]

I would say that is not far from the mark. my Opteron 144 is running 35:22 per frame.

[Turd Furguson]

Geeze my Newcastle 3200+ took 1.5 hours to do a frame.

[BatousaiRyu]

those are very good times... ive only ever been able to get down to 26:28. keep it there and youll have a very nice ppd a'comin!

[veryhumid]

my 3.0 hyperthreaded machine did two of those at once recently each around 55 minutes per frame.

[darkknight187]

in the few 600s i've had they have ranged from either like 30min or an hour, but on those xeons (if its a HT) or any other HT you should see double the time, but you should also be running 2 instances of the application, so you still average the same as an amd, you would just be finishing both of yours when the amd finishes its 2nd

[Arkaine23]

44-52 minutes per frame on Athlon XP's 2.3Ghz to 1.45Ghz

[JerMe]

I'm getting anywhere between 30-36 mins on the p1134 I'm crunching right now, so your 26 mins/frame is lookin' good.

[BeerCan]

30 min a frame on my a64 3500

[samuraisam]

27 mins/frame on the Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.42 (s754 Newcastle).

27 mins/frame on the Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.42 (s754 Newcastle).

-Sam

I get almost the exact same result's. Waiting to see what my amdxp-m will get @ 2.52.

[KrisMCool]

24 min / frame with Mobile A64 @ 2.64GHz.
26 min / frame with DTR A64 @ 2.4GHz.

BTW, I've found that contrary to the general rule that memory speed / timings don't affect Folding performance, since BP WUs use much more memory their frame times can be improved with fast / tight memory.

A current snapshot of my Home rigs,
Note the 3:44 sec/frame difference the memory timings make on a P4c
26:31 FX-53 Sig Rig #4
54:12 Instance #1 of 2 on Sig rig #1 timings 2-2-2-5
54:12 Instance #2 of 2 on Sig rig #1
57:56 Instance 2 of 2 on P4C 2.8 @ 3.1 timmings 2.5,3,3,8

[kornydeftones]

I kinda hope we keep this thread going cuz my 2 rigs in question have such different times. My Mobile2400@ 2.4ghz gets 32 minute frame times when my dual Mobile 2500's@ 2.2ghz only gets 42 minutes a frame. This confuses me cuz never before has 200 mhz made such a difference. From what Im seeing, the 32 minute frame times seem pretty good. What also sux is that on my dually, I get about 30 minute frame times on that 364 pointer that everyone says is even better than the 600. :bang head I guess memory timings really do matter for BP's???

[jonspd]

Well from 2.42 with a a64 I get 27 min's and with my mobile 2500 @ 2.51 I get 29 min's.

[mtb856]

I get about 24-26 minutes per frame on my 2.4C running at 3.3 gigs.

Don't forget if you're running two instances, you have to divide your frame times by two.

[jonspd]

I like your sig :D

[ChasR]

ha, consider yourself lucky on my Xeon setup its 52mins a frame.
Sig rig #2 went into service on Jan 7. It was turning out the 600 pt WUs at a rate of 50:32 x 4 instances. On Jan 18th @ 18:00 hrs (while I was on vacation) all four instances suddenly slowed and now are up to 1:05:14. I can't figure out what the heck happened. No malware, spyware or viruses. No processes eating cycles, all 4 instances report 25% cpu usage. It's almost like thermal throttling is kicking in but cpu's are running in the low 40's as reported by bios immediatly after reboot. I need a good monitoring program for a dually. Suggestions? Will Asus Probe work?

[dicecca112]

no probe won't work. Only the Asus IIS one. Someone over at 2cpu.com is working with the speedfan guy to get that to recognize our chipset.

[annoncompgeek]

well i'm glad to hear the time is about right. I just wasn't sure bc this is a new rig and the last time i was folding the current version of the client was 3.x . I think this cpu has some more speed left in it with a better psu. I got it running stably last night at 2.62 ghz. i primed all night at that speed without problem but when i puish it even one more mhz the comp reboots and keeps rebooting before it even posts. I suspect the psu as I have an antec 400sl with only 17 amps on the 12 volt line. Not bad by itself but I think its just overloaded with 4 hard drives, a cd burner, a gig of ram, 3 tornado case fans, 6 various other fans, and overclocked video card, a sb live, network card, and pci raid card. Thanx to all those that replied.

[ChasR]

You'll find out whether is really stable on the current big WUs. They stress the heck out of the cpu and memory subsystem. Sig rig #3 ran for months @ 2.6 GHz and never early ended a work unit until it hit p1134, 1135, 1140 and 1141. It wouldn't complete any of them at 2.6 GHz even though it would prime overnight. I declocked it to 2.4GHz and it finishes all of them.

[annoncompgeek]

I also ran into that. It required me to add .05 vcore to the 1.6 i was using to fix it.

[veryhumid]

running two instances on my p4 3.4 200MHz 2-2-2-6, and am getting 44-45 minutes per frame (that's 44-45 minutes for each one. with two going at once)! Woo! you are right about the low latency!

[mtb856]

I like your sig :D

Thanks :D

I copied it off of Jigpu..... I figured no one really cared what my system was since I wasn't asking for help, and since folding is my current passion.... badah boom and : poof: new sig :D

754 3000+ at 2.65 Ghz is 25:32.
