I've got my -bigadv back...

... and the love affair is starting all over again.

When I started folding (a year and a couple months ago), I almost immediately jumped on -bigadv and loved the huge point gains. I folded -bigadv in Ubuntu until they took it off linux. Since then, my PPD just hasn't been the same. But now with the A5 core I'm folding a p6901, and it feels great

On -smp 6 this thing is moving along at 36-38min/frame (920 @ 3.8). Add that to the 16k points my GPUs made in the last 24 hours (460, 260, no OC)... yeah, this rig is ready to set some PPD personal records.

Also, I just found a purely cosmetic program that was sucking up roughly a core for no apparent reason. I don't think that 6.34 will let me fold on 7 cores, but I'm definitely going to test out 8 after I get a baseline for 6.

Just wanted to share. Fold on everybody

Light er up NV !!

Good to know! Fold On!

Rock on man! So is that A5 core on Linux, or you rocking a VM/windows?

It's linux native. (p6901 IS bigadv, right? lol )

I tried running a VM and also running in wine, but both were giving me issues. The VM was especially bad, and wine choked my GPUs hard, and for some reason I couldn't get -bigadv going on it.

I haven't been at the computer all day and frame times are looking more like 33min now.

Ah, cool. Yes, P6901 is bigadv, list is here and it's anything over 1 million atoms.
