20,000,000 steps?

edited December 2006 in Folding@Home
Today I checked in on my folding, becuase I haven't been producing points it seems, I look at my client on my work computer and BAM.... I see I am on 11,000,000 out of 20,000,000... biggest one I have ever seen... but I ahven't ever really looked or cared.

Gonna be a while on the P4 2.8GHz Dell machine...

BTW the protein is p2124_lamda_5way_melt_4_10011

    The 212X series are real stinkers. No other way to say it. But it seems they are distributed fairly evenly across all teams. If your computer is just plodding along with that WU, don't worry about it. I think the whole Folding community will be glad when that series is gone. They are real killjoys.

    Big points maybe?

    396 points, you can make up your mind whether their worth it or not.

    meh... part of me doesn't care about points... another doesn't wanna do any work to change proteins.

    If you have 2 instances of FAH running on that pc "thats if it is a HT pc" then it is going take it around a week to finish.

    The p2124's & 2125's do not take full advantage of SSE instructions "not very well optimized" hence the much longer folding time.

    Hi RWB

    My current task also involves the p2124_lambda_5way_melt_4_10011

    It is a lot of steps but on mine it enabled SSE boost so it's going along at almost the same rate as a 500,000 step task.

    I don't know if Intel chips use this SSE property but most likely they do.

    We've also got a thread going here about the 212X work units.
