Hi All - yet another thread about low PPD i have a server running with a single E5645, 6 cores 2.4Ghz, with hyperthreading. its running Linux and has the latest version 7 client running. the system has nothing else to do but fold. i've setup a pass key but the unit hasn't done its 10 units yet. i've used the -smp 12 switch and the system load info shows the folding process taking up 1197% CPU but i'm only getting about 2-3k per day. from what i can tell i should be getting 3 or 4 times that - will the bonus after the first 10 make the difference up? confused and hopeful Donz
Welcome to the forum +1 BTW, the initial 10 WUs apply to your user name, not your machine. You may find it saves time to run your first 10 WUs without the 'smp -12' flag, they will be low scoring, but should finish more quickly than with the flag. There isn't a straightforward way to tell if Stanford have received the 10 WUs, you will have to count at your end. HFM.NET can show the number of completed WUs.
