Qel, I should be sitting at ~7.5-8k PPD with those WUs. I dont even know what I would be getting if I actually recieved credit for these WUs but its no where close to 8k PPD.
My Quad and C2D is getting nothing else but this 306x WUs and nothing has changed on either system. Its not me.

No, it's not you, it's just what the Stanford cafeteria is serving up lately. :rolleyes2
Yeah nothing like getting burned by a bunch of noobs. Doesn't help that was my first post on the new forums so they all thought I was the noob. I was actually a forum mod at one point, oh well.
Still no points either. I see we got some credit recently, but its nothing what it should be. The room with all my computers in it is a lot quieter and cooler with them all off.

I don't blame you. Philanthropy is great, but there needs to be incentives as well, even if only emotional (ego, points). Yes, I am speaking for myself.
I lost 2 of these lately to EUE because of low mem and out of disk space stuff... also by just rebooting the VM where they run.
Found that setting the BigWU to "small" limits this P2619 WU and only downloads P2605s and P2653s.
If you find your folder machines are crapping out with this new WU, give this a try. Or experiment... whatever suits you. Its still in beta testing so either way is fine.
I thought that because you chose to use the SMP client that none of those options made any difference as to what WU you received. The advmethods, small/big WUs, deadlineless WUs....those choices were made with the client choice.
I made that change on 2 of my 3 home systems and now 3 of the 4 instances those 2 are running in SMP have the 2653's again. Bumped my production from 1550ppd per instance back up to 1940.
Time to change the other system.

Dan, to make sure I understand you correctly: in config you switched 'accept large work units' to 'small' work units? And you are now downloading more 2653s? If that's correct, my 8 SMP clients on Q6600s will be very, very happy.
Yes, I made that change and have been getting more of the good WU's than the crappy ones. As it sits, my 6 SMP installs that I monitor at home with FahMon, 3 installs have 2653's and the other 3 have the 30xx's. It's been a mix of the 2 types since I changed, with more of them being the good ones. It's helped get my average PPD on my 3 home systems from ~8000ppd back up to almost 11,000ppd.

Hey Dan, last night I reconfigured all the clients for to accept work units larger than 5MB. Of the clients that have downloaded new units since then, the majority are 2653. This is definite change from the last several weeks.
Good info, I wonder why that small change gives you more big pointers than before?
BTW: Dan, keebler got the sigs back working again.

Maybe that remark was premature. The most recent downloads are a ratio of 3:1, 306X:2653. That is with all the clients configured to not accept work units larger than 5MB. I also configured one client to not accept advanced methods in addition to the 5MB limit. It promptly downloaded 3065.
Are you guys getting any of those 266X work units. Man, they are simply stinkers. I get a full 50% less PPD with them compared to 2653. I'm thinking it's time Stanford relooks there benchmarking methodology.
I'm beginning to think that the option settings may not make that much difference. I have one system with big WUs and the other small. Not a lot of variation in the mix. If I understand what I've been reading on the FCF, the types of WUs that go out are more a function of what server your on and how it's batched than anything else. I'm currently assigned to 171.64.65.63.
If you look at the projects summary you'll see that I'm currently in for a boatload of 30xx WUs from this server. If you want the 265xs, you have to be getting them from 171.64.65.64.
Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of control over what server we're assigned and I'm not so sure if the project assignments to each are permanent. I suspect a change that might have happened recently is that another server has been assigned to handle SMP WUs.

I switched all the clients back to accept larger than 5MB downloads. It's now essentially the same average mix as before.

Well, I'm home this weekend and I'll look a little deeper myself
I know you really wanted to go off on a couple of them!

It also works and you wont get no more 306x´s

Is anyone here but me running the SMP client under Linux?
