From what I understand, Stanford is having issues with the Gromacs servers. ------------------------- Intel Core i7 860 ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Corsair HX650W Corsair XMS DDR3-1333 (4GB @ 8-8-8-24) Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

You still won't really be breaking a rule though, you'll just get laughed at by everyone else. ------------------------- Containment Breach Do not meddle in the affairs of archers, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

LVSeminole Nanotechnology Guru Posts: 9124 Joined: 01/06/2004	I use the -advmethods flag, and I have recieved nothing but Gromacs the last 2 days. 500 Frame Gromacs. I think those are around 30-40 points. There is one good thing about tinkers, you get 71 points for one normally. There is a points system, that if you get it done quicker, you get better points, but every tinker I got, I got 71 points for it regardless. My sisters 800MHZ Celeron took 6 days to comlpete a tinker, and it gave her..no...me 71 points! haha But there is a flag, -forceSSE, its what I use for gromacs, and it works great. Cut my time down by around 40%. But Ardrid has the topic here...http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=5764' ">http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=5764 Just go to properties on the shortcut, in the start menu, or wherever you have it, and put in the flags he has there. It worked for me.

Ardrid Heavy Wizardry Posts: 12398 Joined: 10/08/2003	I'm still getting slammed by Tinkers. In any event, I found this crazy WU. It's a 5000 WU. Contrary to what you may believe, it's actually not a beast like the 2500 WU. The [content edited] thing is only worth 11 points and takes me a little less than 3 minutes to complete. ------------------------- Intel Core i7 860 ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Corsair HX650W Corsair XMS DDR3-1333 (4GB @ 8-8-8-24) Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

LVSeminole Nanotechnology Guru Posts: 9124 Joined: 01/06/2004	Lemme see, 5000 frames, and you can complete 5000 frames in 3 minutes? Or 3 minutes per frame? Cause if its 3 minutes for the whole WU, then, lemme ask you....what kinda super computer you have? But that is great, I got one of them 5000 pointers, at least I know not to get my hopes up. Yeah, but when I first saw that 5000 frame WU, I flipped, I calculated it tho, and its going to take 19 hours...from the start. Oh yeah, what did you to to the guys at stanford? Cause I am not getting tinkerized(finding the closest piece of wood, and knocking the heck out of it). All I can do is dont do the -advmethods thing. You will get gromacs, thats not the problem....you wont get credit for them, thats all, in my experience.

Of course, what do you know, I'm doing another [content edited] Tinker now. ------------------------- Intel Core i7 860 ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Corsair HX650W Corsair XMS DDR3-1333 (4GB @ 8-8-8-24) Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
