LVSeminole Nanotechnology Guru Posts: 9124 Joined: 01/06/2004	I was wondering if anyone was getting "Tinkerized" as of late. I have 4 systems, that are bogged down with tinkers. Now, I just got this -forceSSE flag all figured out, and I get tinkers! Oh well, If I get them done quickly, at least tinkers are good point WU's. but I was curious if a bunch of you guys have been, and are getting them as of late.

Right now, I have...-forceSSE -advmethods -verbosity 9, on right now on my console client, and it took me about 25 mins to get a work unit.....Tinker no less.

Ardrid Heavy Wizardry Posts: 12398 Joined: 10/08/2003	Yeah, I'd definitely rather be doing a Tinker than nothing. I've actually never used the -advmethods flags because I don't like the idea of testing beta WUs, even if they may be Gromacs.

Well, if our leader has it off, I should do the same. Well, Really it didnt do me any good when I had it on anyway (-advmethods), so I wont even risk the delay, I mean, thats time I could be doing a gromac, or...gulp...a Tinker...

That position is reserved for me. You can stay in 15th or wherever you are because you're not touching the top 5. [content edited], you probably won't even touch the top 10. You think LVS is going to let you pass him once he starts dropping his points? Let me help you see the picture. This is you getting owned. Just look at you, son. You've dropped 3 WUs in one instance and got nothing more than 1.63 points. Man, I knew your piece was trash but this is just a new low.

LVSeminole Nanotechnology Guru Posts: 9124 Joined: 01/06/2004	After reading through the Log File, I have found that if Folding@home cannot get a work packet from the website, it just defaults to the initial work packet. Depending on which was the initial packet, Tinker, Gromacs...Well, on my main PC, its a tinker, and my folding PC, its a gromacs...So, maybe some of the people like myself, that keep getting tinkers, might wanna look and see why they keep getting them...in their log file, if you cant get any work packets, and it says...QUOTE [12:15:27] - Couldn't get size info for dyn file: work/wudata_06.dyn [12:15:27] Starting from initial work packet Then the packet after it says this....thats your initial work packet, and if its a tinker...thats probably why we all keep getting them.. This is probably widely known, but hey, I just found it out.
