Gromacs 2107 - disproportionately slow?

StarfishChris · Post by **StarfishChris** » Fri May 19, 2006 2:29 am

I got a 2107 a few days ago and it's stupidly slow - only getting 40PPD and 3 more days to go

Has anyone else had it yet? Is the processor type affecting the speed?

With my A64 3000+ i got:

Project : 2107
Core : Gromacs
Frames : 100
Credit : 404
Min. Time / Frame : 59mn 36s - 97.61 ppd
Avg. Time / Frame : 1h 01mn 02s - 95.32 ppd

Have you checked if for some reason you didn't have "Extra SSE boost OK."

My load on one of my boxen is
p1487
1161 pts
and (depending how much CnQ I have - usually 99% of the time) will be a dash over 2 weeks to complete (@ 3.2 pts/hour)

But yeah, as per Tibors check your log that all is OK. Another of my boxen had 1 bad shutdown that caused SSE disabled for about 2 weeks until I noticed (and did a routine shutdown/restart).

I haven't looked into what by machines are running at the moment, but I've had 3 days of no results at all

, so I expect some mixture of these kind of proteins. I think (not at home to check) some are the 404's, and some others were unknown by F@H Log Stats. Also my PIII isn't running for now, and the laptop only on at night. Be nice to score a few thousand points in a day though

FWIW, F@H Log Stats hasn't been updating for a while now.

I can highly reccommend FAH Monitor & Farm which is available here: http://home.cogeco.ca/~fahmf/

Be aware that this is under constant development... and I have to say the current 2.6.0.7 version has fatal exception errors for some people.

I have an archived copy of the very stable 2.6.0.3 on my webspace that you can download from Here if you so desire.
