How many GHz is folding for your ID???

edited June 2004 in Folding@Home
Right now I have about 7.7 GHz worth of folding processing going, in terms of effective throughput folding, combined across both boxes as total for my ID. I dropped a bit off the actual 9.1 GHz raw CPU piping timing taken all together to allow for O\S overhead and use of boxes while folding, and occasional maintainance and downtime for hardware upgrades, etc.

I would be interested in seeing effective GHz guestimates total for your ID from anyone who cares to publicly reveal same. I am looking for folks with similar or non-similar figures in GHz so I can compare folding pointage production on that basis as additional way to get the apples-to-oranges things factored out.

    You can't measure the power in pure MHz as it wouldn't be even remotely accurate. i.e. I'm sure if I had 4 K6-2 500Mhz boxes that they would fold a lot slower than a single Athlon64 2GHz etc.

    I have 5 farm nodes at 2.0 GHz each= 10.0GHz
    plus 2.4GHz P4 laptop
    plus wife's 1.8GHz AMD
    plus 2.1GHz AMD box
    plus 1.9GHz AMD box
    plus friend's 2.4 P4

    this total is 20.6Ghz

    I added a friend's 1.1 celeron laptop but I haven't seen any points roll in from that one
    I installed it on a P3 laptop two days ago and have just started to see some points from it, unknown MHz rating
    Two other friends' boxes it's installed on that used to produce points but haven't for a while now
    To be conservative, I'd just say 20.6GHz and leave it at that

    I did. I don't think they are using it that much and it's on an aol dialup account. I didn't have much hopes for it anyway. They had it so ate up with spyware for me to clean out I don't know it got anything accomplished. It's prolly ate up again. Oh well.

    I've got my HT 2.8 here, a 930 MHz P3, and a friend's 1.8 GHz celly that doesn't do anything. That one doesn't count.

    ...A mere 6.53 GHz. (and that's only if you count the p4 as 2 2.8's)

    Erm.... so it was running constantly..... on a laptop? Did you consider that persons battery life at all? Not to mention the fans if they were heat controlled...

    3.5GHz - P4 2.8@3.5 in hyperthreading mode (6.0GHz equiv. power is
    an estimate)
    2.2 - AMD Athlon Barton, 2.8+ @ 2.2. Don't know equivalent P4 output.
    8.4 - 3 X P4 2.8 at 2.8, not hyperthreaded
    3.2 - 2 X P4 1.6 (pre-HT CPUs and motherboards)
    2.4 - 2 X Intel Centrino (laptops), ea at 1.2 (yup, no kidding)

    19.7 total

    Caveats:

    1) Don't know how to rate a P4 under hyperthreading. It is though, significantly, roughly 80% more folding output than just a single P4 at the same rating.
    2) Don't know how to rate the AMD Barton. It's an overclocked XP2800+. Does that make it an Intel equivalent of 3.0-3.2GHz?
    3) The Centrino's far outproduce what their nominal 1.2GHz each would suggest - but system specifications as listed in Windows System Tools shows each CPU to be only 1.2GHz

    In my name is a Athlon 850 = 0.85 GHz.


    Sally has a couple more.

    3 x P4, 3.2 Gig (HT) = 9.6 GHz
    1 x P4, 2.8 Gig (HT) = 2.8 GHz
    2 x P4, 2.4 Gig = 4.8 GHz

    Total of 17.2 GHz

    Equates to 10 WU's.
    HyperThreading not taken into account for total GHz and none overclocked (yet).

    3.5GHz - P4 2.8@3.5 in hyperthreading mode (6.0GHz equiv. power is
    an estimate)
    7*.85 is about 5.95, you are getting more like 7*.9 or 6.3, so say average after Tinker ineffectualness of 6.0-6.1 GHz
    2.2 - AMD Athlon Barton, 2.8+ @ 2.2. Don't know equivalent P4 output.
    For folding, probably about a 2.2 to 2.4 GHz P4, less than a 2.66 certainly and definitely less than a 2.8 GHz P4 Northwood.
    8.4 - 3 X P4 2.8 at 2.8, not hyperthreaded
    3.2 - 2 X P4 1.6 (pre-HT CPUs and motherboards)
    2.4 - 2 X Intel Centrino (laptops), ea at 1.2 (yup, no kidding)

    19.7 total

    Caveats:

    1) Don't know how to rate a P4 under hyperthreading. It is though, significantly, roughly 80% more folding output than just a single P4 at the same rating.

    Same basic figures here. Prescott is running at 3010 with both pipes folding-- about 1.65 times the output of the Northwood at 3200 GHz after only about two weeks, and the Prescott was at native for most of that time, 2.8 GHz. The IC7-Max3 is mainboard for that and a Northwood CPU'd box. The Northwood is OC'd to 3.2 GHz true speed, RAM is at 5\4ths the base of the Northwood, and the Northwood is based at 160 unquaded right now, using more multiplier than FSB increase because of the native RAM speed, which is native lower latency DDR333 at stock, but is runjning at same native latencies at DDR400 rates. Because of O\S inefficiencies, was expecting about 1.7-1.8 X the Northwood's output and that is what is happening since I cranked it to 3.01 GHz (3010 MHz, PCI and AGP fixed, RAM floating at 1:1 with Prescott's unquaded base of 215 for right now).

    2) Don't know how to rate the AMD Barton. It's an overclocked XP2800+. Does that make it an Intel equivalent of 3.0-3.2GHz?

    I had a 2500+ running at 2.2 GHz that was replaced by the current Prescott. It did about I expected from a 2.2-2.4 GHz P4 C that was not overclocked-- the P4C at 2.4 GHz outproduced it. We get enough older less effective SSE only and 16 bit Tinkers that the gaming advantage of the Barton is wiped out in folding.

    3) The Centrino's far outproduce what their nominal 1.2GHz each would suggest - but system specifications as listed in Windows System Tools shows each CPU to be only 1.2GHz.

    Centrinos might be listed at an average speed (rough guess is about .8 real constant peak speed actuals), rather than peak effectiveness. They, if they get hot, clock down to about .75 speed and CAN step down to .5 normal if really heat stressed. Guess? What is happening is that they are running better in a desktop sceneario, coller, are not dropping speed, and are not in a battery-dependent situation either unless you have them in Laptops.

Thanks for the commitment, may she actually be at 107,000-108,000 points on August 15, as EOC2 is predicting now! It think we MIGHT need a new "SCORCHING THE WUs" award, is this the fastest 100K on record for team???? How about a SCORCHING folder award???(OUUCH!)

    Comparing me to you, I understand how the folks with one small 1 GHz box feel compared to what I have.

    Lessee, 65/31 is an average of a tib less than 2.1 GHz avg CPU speed (ok, 2.096 for you literalists). NEAT! Might catch up in two decades, if none of your folders get upgraded! (NOT POSSIBLE!) WAY TO GOOO csimon! COOL! Now I do not feel so bad, literally, because I only have about 1\8th the GHz folding.

    BTW, if you happen to see more than three CPUs shown per week, you will know I am stdying another O\S on one of the boxes and have had it up long enough to finish a WU, each O\S instance on the HDs in carriers have their own machine ID or IDs so I do not have to keep exact track of what has what-- the HD carriers with O\S on them have a machine ID written on each of them. About 7 HDs used for that, 3-5 might show up in any one week in stats. THAT is my favorite hobby. :D:D

    I personally have my six systems folding (~12.5GHz Athlon XP + 3.2GHz P4) along with many of the systems I've built for customers, though not nearly all. Between my personal systems and those systems which I've built for customers I've got quite a few GHz going, though I stopped keeping track of exact GHz quite a while back--so I honestly have no idea what the total figure is.

    I only do the computer building / selling / network setup / tech support as a sideline. My full-time endeavor is that of English graduate student. That keeps me busy enough that I can't put a whole lot of time into my computer avocation.

    Sad related fact: I currently have seven complete 3.0GHz P4 systems that are sitting around gathering dust, just waiting to be bought and put into use as active folding / work PCs. I really should try to find buyers, but I'm just too busy right now. Criminal, I know.

    Let's see here:

    besides what's in my sig I also have the following folding for me from some friends:

    1-XP1700@2178
    1-XP2500@1.83, soon to be upgraded to refurb 2600 mobile (Newegg refurbs, we saved you from yourself this time Geeky):D
    1-P3 700 lappy, dedicated folder.
    1-P2 400@500, hasn't turned in points just yet, drew a 129 point Tinker for it's very first WU. :rolleyes:

    Hopefully in a few more weeks a buudy and I chould be able to cobble together another XP machine, dedicated to folding.

    Hmm since athlons are based on the actuall speed not the rating that makes:
    04 ghz now :( and another 2.086 if im not mistaking in a few days. :)

    Gr81 you might want to look over you shoulder as my new rig will go 24/7 if it's quiet enough. :D And i'll prolly keep this rig untill i can sell it which will be folding during the days when i'm at work or whatever running overclockix (if i can make it work) or win98 with minimum amount of apps running. :rarr::fold:

    Just an FYI....

    p930 through p936 are on the public psummary page as DGROMACS that are active. They are starting to roll them out. As of a week ago, I saw only a couple of this type showing on the psummary page.

    Direct Link to psummary page (psummary = project summary):

    http://vspx27.stanford.edu/psummary.html

    psummary page content policy has been to NOT show betas on that page, and I have not seen a policy change on it yet.
