Concerned about my PPD...

As SnW said, BigAdv for the i7, AdvMethods for all other SMP. (This is different to the 'Advanced Methods' option during configuration.

I don't think -bigadv is a good idea for him because his i7 isn't on 24/7.

Looking good but the smp you've highlighted only has -smp 2, no -advmethods flag.

that is my conroe e6600, its only 2 cores, should have -advmethods enabled though? its a copied config from the rest of my smp machines, but i just changed it to smp 2 instead of 4...

how do u see it hasnt got -advmethods?
 
have i cocked up again?

I selected yes to the configuration option to use advanced methods during the config setup thing, how is this different from supplying -advmethods in the extra parameters part?
 
That is more a fault of stanford, they are actually different options. Adding the flags enabled bonus points, enabling the config option lets you fold beta WU.

That's my bad for not explaining it better.

At least they're on SMP so they're half way right.

I don't think the -advmethods flag is necessary to get bonus points. From what I remember, the 3 requirements are

-passkey

-fold more than 10 SMP2 units w/ passkey

-maintain 80% or better completion rate

Granted I have -advmethods running right now, but I've never remembered it to be a requirement.

Do you still get the bonus points, Steve?

I think riot has it right for the bonus requirements

ATM none of my machines are using -advmethods. The use of -advmethods can be a mixed bag, sometimes it is in your favor to use it and other times it can be a detriment. For optimal results one must keep track of the projects you want to run and assignment requirements

Also none of my SMP machines are using anything other than -smp flag, the only time a core number is necessary is when you wish to use less than the number of cores available. The default for -smp is to use all cores available.

Ok, well as I have said, im running advmethods with the config file option, no argument. I have specified -smp #, but i'll bear that in mind in future... I guess i'll give it till the middle of next week and see if my PPD improves now I have started using a passkey, should I consider removing advmethods alltogether, after what you have said?
