Speed of F@H

DuplexEmotions · 04-April-04, 06:47 PM

I just started folding for the PR team, and I have a number of 0/400..... my question is how long it should take for it to get to 1/400.... I don't want to have the program running in the background and not working; like to be sure.

It's like a piece of string ... I've had 10,000 WUs finish in 12 hours, and 400's that take several days.

If you want to be sure F@H is working, check out the Windows task Manager - if CPU usage is at 100%, it's running

400's usually take the longest for me and they are worth less points than 10k wu. I don't know why they are worth so little and take the longest amount of time.

Basically the time that it takes depends on how complex the instructions are that your systems has to run through - traditionally it does seem that the 400 usually take the longest. Value wise it varies for almost evey WU.

Yet another reason to switch to AMD (heh, you KNEW that was coming)!
The 2500 and 5000 point WUs usually finish between 16 to 32 hours for me, but again each different WU is independant of others. Points are distrubeted the same for WUs of the same number class, not the value of the WU...... make sense?
