Finished my first 600pt wu...

[electrorcamd]

I finally basically finished my first 600 point wu. I say basically because it only got to frame 90/100. After that, I got Quit 101 - Fatal error: NaN detected: (ener[13]), then simulation instability occurred. Is that more of an overclocking crash or another one (I had my computer oced more than usual this time)? Hopefully it will show up on my stats soon.

Hmmm, could that be the prolific 2 point WU that showed up today?
Man, GROMACS cores are REALLY sensitive to overclocking, so you're going to have to tone it down a bit. Go as conservative as you can. They pick up on every little error you make.

It was under electrorcamd. I am now under Linux so I will be switching to Seven and making sure I turn bigpackets off (they aren't very efficient on my comp, and I only have 512MB of RAM).

That 600 point wu still hasn't shown up on my stats, either Stanford or EOC. Is that usual? It said it was sent.

if you didn't finish it, it would not have showed up, nor will it ever...i'd just cut your losses and tone down your oc and try again, it's not worth hanging onto...(i lost 2 364 pointers that were done due to a bad installation of xp so i know how that goes).

Bah, I've had a lot of bad WUs turned in recently. As I've said, GROMACS is really sensitive to this stuff, so be careful.

Don't you still get points for it, even if you only got 90% of it complete? I had 6 wus that weren't finished turned in on one day, and I got some points for all of them. Why isn't this one showing up?
Yes, I have my oc lowered back to what is my sig.

i just finished a gromac and only got 80 points for it...b0000. I spent all that time on it for 80 points...i could get 250 a day with the smaller ones :p.

Yeah, everyone's having trouble with the 600 pointers currently..... I don't know what's up with them, but a lot of people aren't getting credit for them.

[electrorcamd]

It looks I won't be getting any credit for it since it still hasn't shown up. Is there a way to make F@H use only a specific core? My computer is slow with Gromacs and usually can't finish them, and now is getting Amber cores. Is there a way to set it so that it only gets Tinker or Amber cores?
Thanks

Well, I wasn't having any problems with the 600 pointers till the last one I did. got to 80% then finished early and didn't get any points for it. Oh well.

Well for one make sure you have bigpackets=no in the client.cfg file(s) and you won't get any 600 pointers (which I think are gromacs).

I'm just about to finish my second 600 point as well as one worth 310 today. I have a gig of ram on a 3ghz P4. Using the dual core client, it takes about 3 days to finish a 600 pointer. I purposefully increased the ram just to run the large WU's.
