Folding Forum

Hi all,

I've been folding with client-type advanced for 12h, but the project in question was moved to public anyway which is why I'm posting this.

My GPU is working on Project: 13879 (Run 0, Clone 68, Gen 20), atnd it seems to have double the steps (1m) compared to previous GPU project in which I participated. Is that normal/intended? Total time on a GTX1060 is 8h30.
Also, is this particular project taxing the GPU more? I've noticed a significant increase in lag, with GPU temperature being stable at 76C even keystrokes on this forum take about 2-4s to appear.

Thanks!

Each project will have a "normal" number of steps that only applies to that projects, or perhaps a group of projects working on different aspects of the same protein system. Normal can range from 125k steps for some CPU projects to several million for some GPU projects, the number will depend on the size of the system being worked on and other factors.

In this case I was able to look up someone else's log report, and 1 million steps is correct for WUs from this project. At 159K atoms, it may be utilizing your GPU a bit more heavily than a smaller protein system would. Another factor could be what types of testing is turned on in the scientific code, there are a number of options available to be used by the researcher.

The WU finished overnight, and now being on a different project, my PC no longer displays the laggy behaviour even at full GPU usage.
Thanks for the info
