Man, I officially don’t like the fah6 in Linux.
It is not faster, it is slower by a lot. Either that or the individual steps take a lot more processing because where I often had 20 min between steps I now have 40 or more.
Furthermore they are assigning me work units that take 1 1/2 days to process and giving me 206 points for it ... with the fah 5.x version I worked that hard and got 1760.
I think the options (such as -verbosity 9) have changed too because although there is some data, the table at the end that show time, gflops etc. is missing.
I know .. for the greater good, for the greater good, for the greater good ...
btw; if the date in your virtual world is prior to 10/1/07 they don’t force you to change.
I am thinking of a little time travel.
You could complete more folding by installing the regular console version on each of the cores and just let them fold. Be sure to set the Machine ID = 1, 2, 3, 4 as needed for each core.
The 1760 points is for an SMP project. Is it possible that you are running the non-SMP kernal instead?
Other than that, it looks like the v6 beta is supposed to fold at the same speed at the v5.04 beta 5. It’s possible that the projects have changed, but it doesn’t seem that they are much different.
