AVI - it appears that Ubuntu with the kernel version you specified has a bug with hibernation - jobs are not always properly restored when the system is restarted.

Can you tell from just this data if a certain architechture is "better" with a certain type of WU? i.e. it gets signifigantly more credit that expected (as opposed to the opposite, amd/intel or different generation), w/o it being a bug :P

@AVI, I only have these puters, so No, I can't make any determination based upon data from my own puters. I could if I chose to, to go back through my list of active posters and manually get data that way, but that's alot of work, I'm not quite up to yet.

I set the temp control to fan of 63 (all above 49C). I disabled the CPU temp control, and only clicked the "enable forcing to highest.."
Its currenty 60C and its still happening. Im not so concerned for the CPU, but the HD starts to heat up, and after an 2hrs or so, the left of the keyboard (and bottom, right.. the hard drive i think) gets quite hot.
Its only like 6weeks old, so im hoping its not any problem with the heatsink seating...

The normal way to run is to use CPU temperature control. If the fans cycle on and off with both settings (enable forcing and temp control) when the temperatue settings are set low, then exit 18kfanGUI. Keep crunching and let the processor run on the Dell settings. When the fan comes on, does it cycle? If yes, then get support from Dell http://support.dell.com If not, the problem is 18kfanGUI on your computer (although it is on the compatibility list). As the last resort to make 18fanGUI work, I would remove the program in Add or Remove programs, download it again, install, and setup again using their User Manual http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/manual30/index.html. If the problem continues, you can get better help than I can offer on their forum.

I've never run speed switch. I would remove it and see if there is a difference.

What I figured, but it doesn't look like it. at 134F now, and still going on and off.

I hate these wacking extra-wide posts!

Fan speed droppping, err there should be an option somwhere (yes I know there are lots of options)

On the other hand, if you're part of a team that is running multiple projects - you might see if someone on a more Altivec optimized project has systems that would work better here - and trade. Fold for them on the Altivec optimized project, and have them fold for you here on Rosetta.

The Rosetta app has always run fine before but the method for calculating credits is very flawed and I will not believe that these processors are in anyway one third the speed as the athlon.

I definitely understand your feelings, but if I compare my numbers with those of a Power Mac 11,2 then my machine crunches around 2,5 times that of the mac per core.

WU time decoys time/decoy
Power Mac 11,2: t322 13340 s 3 4450 s
X23800@2.2 GHz: t322 41500 s 12 1800 s

I can do the same for quite a number of other WUs for the same machine and it turns out the same. It is as Ananas said, it is a question of optimizing the science-app code for a specific processor architecture. So the system itself is not flawed, but it turns out that "counting real work done" is bad for some machines which I sure do not think is done intentionally but just a matter of cold numbers.

G'day Avi and welcome to Rosetta@Home.

I don't understand the
"Accepted" shows the most recently accepted move.
"Low Energy" shows the lowest energy shape seen in the current trajectory.

"accepted move" means a lower energy than the current lowest?
"trajectory" is the whole WU or decoy?

Have a read of this first so what I have writen makes sence.

You have asked some pretty hard questions here, so I'll answer them as best I can:

"Accepted" shows the most recently accepted move. Yes
"Low Energy" shows the lowest energy shape seen in the current trajectory. Yes.
"accepted move" means a lower energy than the current lowest? Not necessarily, to use Dr DB analogy you may have to climb a hill to find out if the valley on the other side is lower than the valley that you are in.
"trajectory" is the whole WU or decoy? Per decoy.

If I got any of that wrong someone will correct me :)

Happy crunching.

SIMAP needs about an hour/WU on an Athlon XP@2200MHz, about 1:40 on a P3s/1266.

Your box is a Pentium Coppermine so it should do SSE already, which means that you can use their standard client (they have an optional client for CPUs without).

WU size on HD is about 2MB, RAM requirements are very moderate.

They fill an already usable medical database for comparing protein sequences.
