View Full Version : choking on small WUs

These small WUs the last couple of weeks are killing my production. A few weeks back the average WU was about 200 points. The ones that I am getting now are more like 40.
I am doing a lot of WU, but not many points.
I know that I am not alone because I am not dropping in the overall stats.
I just like to whine.

Let me join you - a good whine is always more enjoyable when shared with a friend. :-/

I noticed the same thing. I'm down on average about 1500 points per day, when in reality I have added about 8Ghz in the last 2 weeks. :(

Same here. Especially since most of our comps are intel based. Miss those 450 pointers. I'm sure we're down around 3-4000 points a day.:(

As stated though, we are all in the same boat with this one.

I think we need one of these.

I'm down a 1000 points/day as compared to three weeks ago. Good science always, but crap points lately.

Don't sweat it guys, the dearth of points production is hitting all teams equally.

I agree with Leo - it seems to be a universal thing (possibly related to running out of timeless Tinkers?) and since the work we're doing now is better for the science of the program overall, the point drop is nothing to lose any sleep over.

It's not just a lack of Tinkers. GBGromacs are now uncommon, Double Gromacs aren't seen, and Ambers are rare. Seems to just be regular, low point Gromacs. Just waiting for QMDs to come back some time in the future!

I'm getting a lot of the 120 pointers that fold nicely compared to the odd ball 192 and 392 pointers ...they take forever. Far more value in the 120's as far as points go.
What are servers sending out with no flags installed? Any good tinkers or anything? Just curious.

What are servers sending out with no flags installed? Wanna bet it's just these garden variety Gromacs?

Nope, it is the garden variety Gromac. I've tried.:zombie:
