I started first with Duron 1GHz, it was back in 2005

OK, it was running on real cores only with -smp switch. I forced all cores with -smp 64 and got to 14m13s per percent on 2685 project (one of slower ones). Good

Bumping the thread for people interested. Quad Xeon is finally up and running, I just set it up, it started to process project 2685 (R4, C18, G16), after first percents being processed no yay yet, maybe it will speed up later: PPD 85664 TPF 17m17s Credit 102817 To remind: 4x Xeon X7560 64GB 1066MHz ...

Hah, small update, my friend did start another smp client on dual xeon server, that is why I have had such big frametimes. I run it now again with -bigadv and I have 39:40 min TPF, with estimated PPD of 24520 :) Quad Xeon is already built, but need running some stress tests before deploying :) Anoth...

This is one thing I can't do with machines I use, I can't overclock, so what I look for is power to (2x6pin card at stock speed) ratio I can have two of those in my workstation, whatever power they use.

If I was to buy that machine it would be $38k. We'll see the frametime hopefully tomorrow (if all goes well). And yes, it will be dedicated machine, I didn't want it to have too little RAM, I somewhere read about 0.5G per thread as minimum, and 1G as optimal value. About Teslas, so it's basically a ...

OK, tomorrow I will be setting new machine for bigadv, wish me luck, it's 4x Xeon X7560 with HT plus 64GB 1066MHz RAM, hope it will be enough, because it's most I can get from single machine, next would be clusters only. Also I wonder about GPU clients, as I previously stated, I run 2x Tesla C1060, ...

Another question, Hyper Threading helps bigadv or is it the opposite? SMP with advmethods sample: [19:16:48] Project: 6702 (Run 6, Clone 64, Gen 26) [19:16:57] Completed 1847260 out of 2000000 steps (92%) [19:50:49] Completed 1860000 out of 2000000 steps (93%) [20:28:25] Completed 1880000 out of 200...

Yeah, both teslas were running on the same machine ID, I changed it but it seems client needed restart to use new one. Now I have 4 different jobs, thanks. Bigadv is too much for the server :( One percent in 1:40h, makes it do whole job in 7 days, while only 6 days to do it until deadline. Need to o...

About E5520, we will see. I have got a passkey generated on F@H webpage. Machine ID is different, they are set up using FAQ by making different directories in AppData/Roaming. HFM reports them in orange, I guess it's not good right? I now have had 2 consecutive duplicates, I'm fine with that as long...

Guys, I would like to fully utilize hardware available to me, so please advise on the details. I have 2 machines to fold on: 1. Workstation: - single Xeon E5540 @ 2.53GHz with HT - 6GB 1066MHz DDR2 - 1x Tesla C1060 in PCIEX16 slot - 1x Tesla C1060 in PCIEX4 slot (can't place it in X16 due to lack of...
