Well, had all five computers setup to run over 2,000 points a day, then they pulled the QMDS from 512mg ram systems. I am now getting almost entirely 50 or so point Gromacs. You know, 748, 747, etc. How do I stop them? I have tried removing advmethods as well as a number of other settings to no avail. Stanford is saying that it is the luck of the draw so to speak on the larger gromacs however my experience is given 5 computers and 9 clients running at the same time that this just ain't so. Either that or I am truly one unlucky fellow in that I am defying the odds. I am about as upset as I can be about this having bought, put together, etc. five systems along with router, 8 port switch, cables, etc. If I can not find a solution to this problem then I am going to pull them all down save for possibly the xeons. I can not see the purpose in folding 9 clients with 15Ghz or so to only achieve 600 to 700 points a day and a $200 a month electric bill. I am very upset about the whole thing. I tried moving files amongst the computers only to have Stanford thank me very much for the results then not credit 2,000 points.
If you have a suggestion that might work then do say so prior to me shutting them down. If you know of a project that might make much better use of the cpu cycles then do let me know. It's been fun (till rescently).
Edit: We are cooking now. Finished the 51 point Gromac and am now working on a 44 point Gromac. That one will work out to a whopping 45PPD/Ghz. Now really, someone tell me again how important getting these things back to Stanford is. Do tell me the meaning of the switches again and what they are supposed to do. Maybe someone can explain why there seems to be a ton of the little bitty ones that run slow and are worth nothing while the large hard to do ones just can't seem to be found. Maybe the little ones are meant to give us something to do while Stanford gets off its' lame butt. I'm pulling them all down till they can get it together.
Here's to thinking your doing something.
Edit: As of 04:10 July 22, 2005 all of my folders are off line. They will not return online doing FAH until/if ever Stanford gets their act together. Till then, if you know of a good working project do let me know. Sure is quite in here now.
