does anyone know what the project number is of the 'biggest' bigadv? i've googled it abit and cant seem to get a straight answer. i want to know as am currently experimenting with i7 920 at 4Ghz doing bigadv with -smp 7. on smp 8 with no gpu's got two frames at ~32min (p2692). so was thinking i may have room in the deadline to do smp 7 and fold on 460's aswell.
Its not really the size or number of atoms that determines the efficiency it's the gromacs code. 2684 is the dog, with -smp 7 the points yield will be very low in comparison to the WU you're currently testing (if you meet the deadline), only maybe P 6900 is better. Thankfully not seen many 2684's recently though, may just have been lucky I've had several 6900's on the bounce.
