P889 = huge points

[dwschoon]

Ive got a tualatin celeron 1000 running at 1250 w/384mb ram. I sneakernetted a p889 worth 272 points to it. It is chewing through it at 9:25 per frame for about 415ppd. Maybe i got a fluke cpu, but it seams to be a monster. On p147x it takes 32min/frame for about 165ppd. I have a 1.3 celeron coming in the mail, so Im going to see how it fares on the same settings. Here is part of the log.

yeah, sweet wu...

my celeron northwood (1.9Ghz) fold it at the speed of 9mnt/frame now.. wow!

1wu => 900mnt => 15hours => 272pts x (24/15) => 435,2 ppd

 

[veryhumid]

hey i just noticed you are flying up the charts! congrats on some sweet folding powah!

 

[yanz]

you're obviously pointing to dwschoon, not me...

 

[dwschoon]

Thanks. Ive been using every spare old part i can find at the office to create borgs. Ebay has also been my friend.

 

[yanz]

he, it's pretty odd that the result of this gromac is just 444kb.

 

[AlabamaCajun]

Great balls-o-fire I though I felt something go flying past me! Nice Job.

DW's found something very interesting with p889. He sent a couple to me to bench on a XP-M @ 2.54GHz and a P4c @ 3.0. The results are in on the XP-M:

889 (Run 153, Clone 86, Gen 1) 34:39/frame, 113.57ppd, 44.85ppd/GHz
889 (Run 24, Clone 85, Gen 0) 04:00/frame, 977.84ppd, 386.19ppd/GHz

p889 appears to be either a dog or a blessing.

Results from the P4 later today.

I found my long awaited Tualatin but I have'nt had time to tweek the timings and test for stability. I had been shopping for a 1.13G for almost 2 years when I came across the 1.2 at Ewiz and snatched it up. I slathered on some AS5 and droped in a huge HS&F; fired up the first time. Big surprise as I didn't know if I would have to flash the bios coming from a standard PIII but it works. Now I want to see how well it folds. This one will take the place of the P3-800 but I also have an older board for the P3-800 to build a headless borg later.

I wanted to get a tualatin running, bought one off eBay, but it turned up with pins missing and I had to send it back...

Well, it turns out DWs two Super WUs, both generation 0, have 1/10th the the total number of steps in them as the subsequent generations (500,000 for gen 0 vs. 5,000,000 for gen 1). That is why it folds so fast. It doesn't explain why they're different as this is atypical for projects. Usually if the simulation contains a different number of steps, the WU is given a different project identifier. This one may be misidentified.

BTW, the P4c folded gen 0 in 3:42/frame, 1058ppd.
