Benchmarking Dual Core for Folding

TC · Jul 17, 2005

A few of you folders asked if I would mind benchmarking the fold on my dual core system. Seeing as how seti is still recovering from an outage I figure now is good time to do this. So I need you guys to give me all the info on running a folding test on this rig.

Hmm, there is no benchmark in FAH like the SETI benchmark. You just need to run 2 instances of FAH and post some frame times and the WU you are working on. The dual core chip will act just a any dual system in fah...

as linked from our uber-sticky.... Wedo's Ultimate F@H Install Guide.

Find the Dually setup (or Quad setup if you have Hyperthreading in that Dual-core).... and install it... but before doing so... edit the client.cfg file (in notepad only!) and change the user name from Wedo to TC, so we know its you and can track the progress.

Eagerly awaiting the results

I am in the planning and purchasing phase of a new main rig that will be a dual core AMD. Won't be finished getting my parts until the first week of september however so would love to hear how dual core systems are performing in FAH.

sweet! subscribed, and good luck!

Got it - I'll get this running sometime tomorrow as work permits.

there is a stanford benchmark. it's in the log file. go to the fah directory and open the FAHlog.txt go to the log where the console was just started, that is when it does the benchmark. i'd be curious to see what you get.

That bechmark is useless though, even though I do hold the #1 spot

hahahaha, yes don't look at nik's score, you'll set yourself up to start bawling and short out your keyboard

I start bawling just by seeing how many points seperate us and how long I've been idleing at the 465-471 area

TC · Jul 18, 2005

Okay I got it running about an hour ago...

I see it just returned a couple of work units. That's almost 3 days to complete 2 units. Seems awfully slow compared to seti where it kicks out 2 units about every 50 minutes.

What WUs is it folding and how do you have it configured?

for the lazy 22K points since 7/17 damn that's some good PPD http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=TC

my guess is the one we want is for team 32.

1589 points
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=TC&teamnum=32
but I could be wrong since he didnt say which team he was folding for as a bench

but 22k points in 3 days sounds way too high, even if it is a dual core.

dicecca112 · Jul 20, 2005

damn I did that twice, fixed the post and still listed the wrong one, its hot out, that's my excuse

TC · Jul 20, 2005

I'm folding for our team of course - looks like I have some twins on other teams. And I have folded for us in the past, so I didn't earn all of those credits in 3 days. I figured you guys had a way of looking at what each host machine for an account was doing like boinc does. Does all of credit for user get lumped together with no way of distinguishing which computer did what?

that will give us some better info. Two WU on the 20

Perhaps EM would give me a better idea of what's going on? It's going to get messy soon with 7 more computers coming online.
