step 41000000: Water molecule starting at atom 93408 can not be settled. Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate. [14:16:34] CoreStatus = 0 (0) This is what I got the first time I downloaded this unit and I tried it again just to be sure it wasn't something in the transmissi...

Sorry for the delay, but I've been busy upgrading Fedora to F16 and folding (additional 14 since this began). Parallel run - timing based on wallclock.

I finished 6012/2/150/20 yesterday at 01:04:40 UTC and started another project 6012/1/36/21 four minutes later. I received 2301 points for the first one, and 470 points for the second one. My passkey was found at the start of the second one. It took 11 hours and 45 minutes to complete the second one...

This is the second time I have received this exact project. It failed the second time just as it did the first time. Obviously, if I receive it again, I will just eliminate it.

Progress is definitely being made. I stopped folding 4 days ago when I had completed, by my log, 2906 and as of last night I was still at 2899. This morning @ 6:48 am Chicago time I am at 2902. I guess I can start folding again. If I don't get the other four I won't be too unhappy. Computers do mess...

I believe the complaint would be relating to the extremely high failure rate of the 2665 class WU's, whether under VM or SMP folding. They are very problematic and will even crash a system. I have less than 15% success with these on 3 different machines. Sometimes it just feels good to complain abo...

I agree, WUs that fail, whatever the core version, are a waste of resources in some regard. But a few bad WUs are always expected with any core type. Part of the game. On the bright side, you probably moved on to some A2 work units after these A1s failed, and you're machines are back to using 100% ...

Nothing fah related is a waste of computer time. A1's came first, and still need to be completed to finish the scientific work. A2s are an improvement. Instead of bashing A1s for going slower, you should, IMO, be thanking the project for making improvements in the A2 to better use your computing re...

The A1 core really sucks. :shock: After spending 1 day 0 hours 39 minutes and 17 seconds on one 2665 unit and 21 hours 57 minutes 52 seconds on the other, both of them aborted in writing the file to disk.

Thanks for your advice on doing a search. I did search and didn't find anything that confirmed the poor performance of the A1 core in a manner similar to what I find on my machines. The A1 core really sucks.

I have two AMD 4-core processors running @ 2.9 and 3.2 Ghz. When they are processing 2671 and 2677 units they are close to 100% usage on all four cores. Under FAHcore_a1 with a project 2665 unit they have one core at 20-30%, one near 50%, one in the 70% range and one near 90+%. The performance on th...

Both units were returned on the 29th and both got credit. They were downloaded on 26 Jan @ 23:30 and 23:33 UTC. Guess I was worried about nothing.

I just downloaded this project to one of my computers and then three minutes later I received the same project/run/clone/gen on the same computer but in a different directory with a different user id and a different machine id. The computer is a four core processor running Linux Fedora 10. If I comp...

I have a similar problem concerning a 2620 WU. It is Project 2620 Run 21 Clone 10 Gen 36. It was returned, but the fahlog does not show which server received it. I would love to know if it was actually received and if I will get credit. I can show the part of the log that records the successful tran...

I found a reference to bigpackets=big in the wiki and that is what is in my client.cfg . I will look up the BigWU parameter. bigpackets=big is what Folders call BigWU. They the same critter. If your faster computer has this in its client.cfg, you're good. Do note that BigWU is an indication that yo...
