hmmmm well the task manager gives me two CPU usage graphs, and i can set the affinity to CPU0 or CPU1... so i am assuming that it is on...
if it isnt, then i dont think there is any way i can actually turn it on.

Well I never bother to set affinity myself... so I'm not sure what way this is affecting the "Number of CPUs: 1"?!?. Like I have 3.4 northy and it'll say that I have 2 CPU's with HT on and 1 CPU with HT off! Maybe someome with more P4 rigs can jump in and sort this out! But like I said they are pretty OK benches for a 3.0gig.
EDIT: How many Rosetta instances are there in Task manager as a matter of interest??
only one. is there supposed to be two?
Well... now I ain't with my rig now, and am not familiar enough with the preferences pages for Rosey, but maybe you had selected just to use 1 CPU instead of 2!! (Windows and Rosey will see HT Proc as 2). Now if this is the case, I think NJKIDs advise on turning off HT for benches and turning on HT for running may have been carried out inadvertantly by your Rosey prefs.!! :cool: Now see if you can select from the preference pages to turn on 2 CPU's for rosey! You will get nice scores then!Quote:

got it, it was set to only use one in the preferences. thanks!

from what people have been saying, i take it that the bench goes down, but the actual crunching goes up?
still only one rosetta process though...
EDIT: two now, it DLed another task.
sorry for the crazy amount of posts i seem to be posting in the rosetta setion... lol.
Damn... I was afraid that it would rebench when you change Proc settings! i wonder is there away around that! Pity that damn dell doens't let you enable or disable HT! Is there any hacked off Bios that you can flash into that thing? Overall you'll get more points and more done with the HT on (and benched with it) but there is the opurtunity for the credits. ;)
no, no hacked BIOSs as far as i know.
is it better to have a higher bench is it? i mean, umm... not just knowing you have a good bench-wise?
Of course its better to have a higher bench... but you are asking me with a HT proc and the answer is a little longer. Your 2nd bench is lower then the first granted ... but it is not like 50%. Its 60%! Now instead of only one work unit been worked on at any given time, you now have 2 works units! Get my drift. Each one will get less credits BUT, comparitive data over time will always show that all things been equal, using HT on with associated benches will give you better scores.Quote:

have a banana for your helpful-ness. :D :banana:
Hmmm ... well.... you can set how long you want work units to work for. See .. the thing is you could, in reality... keep a workunit and do a VAST amount of work on it, and I reckon even beyond the constraints of BOINC. When you get a WU you are obliged to carry out the folding to get the first stage completed. Now for guys that like their own preferred lenght of time, you can set it to take 1 hour 2 hours.. etc etc in the preferences. However if the first stage of the folding takes longer than your preferences it will keep going until it is completed it first stage of folding. (I forget the correct terminology for 'stage'.) You can also I think set them going for 24 hours and that protein gets folded and folded and there are alot of predictions made on that WU.Quote:

So is it better to have long WUs?Quote:

So if your WU's are short this initialization happens more than if your WU's are long. During the initialization you looze a little of time!Quote:

I just joined the XS Rosetta team and I should have a Conroe 6700 Stepping 5 and a Merom 7400 @ 2.6 up and running 24/7 within the next 1 week. It's great to see all the enthusiasm for these crunching causes!
:welcome: To the Team.Quote:

3800+ at the new settings
Measured floating point speed 5449.36 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 17873.63 million ops/sec
Intel Merom 7400 @ 2.8ghz (24/7 stable)
2 CPUs
Measured floating point speed = 4982.18 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed = 22994.21 million ops/sec
I have really struggled to get this chip stable at 2.9 which is what it's capable of but the board is holding it back. This box will be up 24/7 until the Conroes are released.
Is the Floating point score completly dependent on the CPU speed and nothing to do with what processor you have? It seems that a Opty 170, FX57, or X2 all running at the exact same speed have about the same Floating point score but have different Integer scores. Can someone tell me if I'm correct in this thinking? I haven't looked at too many Rosetta benches.
X2 4400+ @ 2.6GHz
CPUs: 2
4466 floating point MIPS
14583 integer MIPS
P4 550 @ stock 3.4GHz
CPUs: 2
3079 floating point MIPS
6284 integer MIPS
XP-M 2800+ @ stock 2.13GHz
CPUs: 1
2680 floating point MIPS
8791 integer MIPS
All more or less 24/7 Rosetta atm. Adding a Dothan soon and an E6700 later.
Thought I'd go ahead and update with my 64-bit linux Conroe benched at 3.38ghz.
Measured floating point speed 8193.98 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 31016.07 million ops/sec
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: HOLLY HELL!!!! Man thats a great bench for that speed. Damn I need to goto linux!!!Quote:

Yeah, it's a step 4 E6600, so this is about as far as I can go with my water right now. I use about 1.56v to get it benchable there. Once retail becomes available, I might try to sell this a get one of them, or just build another cruncher with a retail.
Ahem...so maybe this is a dumb question...but where are you guys getting Conroes???
Santa:) He lives in Virginia and Jim Carey was in his movie:rofl:Quote:

BTW :welcome: to Rosetta and thanks for helping out. You will notice that we kid alot here (me mostly) but when it comes to the important things you will see how serious we are as a team:) If you need anything please feel free to pm me or any of the guys here cuz everyone is more than willing to help out..
