So "normal tinkers" have time limits? I wish I could view what my 2 rigs are currently working on to see if they are the timeless, or normal tinkers that you mentioned.

Joe Camel said:harlam357, i wasnt trying to put you down or anything of the sort, i was just trying to "head this off @ the pass" B4 it got to where that other thread did. although that was way back when QMD's first started and Stanford was still working out the kinks on what flags / criteria were needed to get them etc
im still on the fence when it comes to points VS. science...sure im all for the science but as a "bencher" i sure do love points/stats/lists
Sorry Joe... I didn't mean to come off like I was upset with you. Flix's comments would have upset me if I hadn't read the whole thread... although I still don't agree 100% with his view. That's one of my New Year's resolutions... "don't let other peoples' opinions **** me off". Trust me, when I said I would have been angry, I would have posted in that thread in response to the author- not you my friend.
Anyway, no harm no foul... btw- I smoke Camels too. I love the pernts!!!
It's absolutely crazy to think that with the number of folding cpus on the planet that the work won't get done by someone... regardless of what kind of setup he/she chooses to run. So to me that leaves the pernts and the great feeling that I'm contributing something good to humanity.Oh yeah, I finally ditched the tinkers by removing the advmethods flag & BPs still enabled. Now my 170 is doing ~360-370ppd per core on RIBOs!
Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

Depends how much it runs. If it runs atleast 1/3 of the day I'm confident it will finish any WU assigned to it by the deadline, but if that uptime isn't gauranteed I'd set it timeless just in case. Either way I've been seeing LOTS of 241 point tinkers coming by for non-timeless systems with different flags too!

In the name pXXXX take that number and goto
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html
and ye shall find it there!
Also... open fahlog.txt and go all the way down and then keep going up until you find where it starts opening/working on the work unit, and it will mention which core it is using, i.e. QMD (FahCore_96.exe), Tinker (65), GBgromac (7a), Double Gromac (79), Gromac (78), AMBER(82), and whatever else I missed. Based on the core #'s i.e. the FahCore_XX.exe currently running you can tell which type it is too.

Anyone singing "All I got for Christmas was 2 Tinkers"?
It was slow for a while but it's picked up considerably since Tuesday!

Have a tinker right now on my S64, using the Windows console in wine, bigpackets=yes and advmethods. If I take off -advmethods, I get p75x, which are even worse for ppd. I also had a Tinker on my Sempron 2200+ a couple days ago but I don't remember the flags.
