p936?? Some help?

One of my consoles is running through p936_fkfe2_all. It needed a new core to run it, fahcore_79.exe. A double gromacs core. It's not listed here. Does anyone know how many point's this'll give me when I complete it? It's not running too slowly, about 9 minutes a frame. I got it because of the -advmethods flag, right? What's different about this core? I've noticed that it uses SSE2. Can you help me figure this thing out?

    Um, Double Gromacs use SSE2 some-- they are tuned for it. Regular Gromacs use little SSE2, mostly just SSE. Difference between that and Core_78 is that Core_78 was made for normal Gromacs that use mostly just SSE, not doubles. Core_65 is for Tinkers, and those have little SEE tuning in them. Core_79 is the NEWEST core, and yes you got that one with that switch.

    Points, do not know right now, Folding's site is so busy I cannot get to it right now. I know, should have dumped the psummary to printer today, forgot.... :D

    core_79 can use SSE2 if the CPU has it.
    core_79 uses SSE (NO SSE2) and 3dnow!
    core_65 uses absolutely NO optimizations at all. None.

    The WU is worth 107 points. I am not allowed to give out the link. Its for the beta team.

    :confused: It's listed on the standard project summary page:

    I just got one on my A64 computer (it's currently just running with the -advmethods flag, not participating in the beta program). EDIT: Something seems funny with the EM protein calc...~3285p/week for one cpu can't be right?!?:

    What kind of times are people getting on these? SM4 is doing about 12 minutes/frame.

    On my 2x2300MHz Barton based dually, I'm getting 08:49 pr frame for one CPU. I guess the A64 and P4 gets an additional boost by the SSE2 optimizations which the "Double Gromacs" FahCore_79 supports. A64 log:

    SM4 is a T-Bred core 1700+ and it's now using the double gromacs core. Not sure how much benefit it gains from that, however.

    It wasnt on the list at the time, thats why he asked.:)

    Seth, check the CPU usage. Its prolly not at 100%. I would prolly run another normal gro and Timeless Tinker behind it to keep CPU usage up. Use the -oneunit flag on the second gro so it will only do one WU then stop.

    I have 2 of the 936's, 13 min. a frame on my XP-2100, 10 min on the XP-2600

    My 2 P4 rigs have both done these. My P4 @ 3387 has done them at 6:15 per frame and the other P4 @ 3200 did it's 1 p936 at around 8:00 per frame.

    It's running at 100% usage.

    I'm currently running a P936 simultaneously with a P259 on my P4C rig. P936 processing time is 6:00min/frame.
