Just wondering if anyone could tell me if things look any better for my PPD, WU's etc, now that I have started using the passkey etc...

Thanks!

In HFM, go into Preferences and tick the Calculate Bonus Points option. That might improve your predicted PPD as you're getting more than HFM is reporting...

EDIT: Made your Folding sig link to your stats.

That option seemed to be automatically ticked?

Does my actual PPD rate look about right for the hardware I have folding now?

I was expecting a Xeon x5500 to be producing more for such a current server processor.

My 24h average seems very low, or are u guys running a boatload more hardware than me? I wonder if it's because i havent completed 10 SMP WU's with the passkey yet? I think 10 was the requirement for the bonus? maybe a few more days to wait.... grrr /impatience
 
All those 6701 WUs really hurt your PPD. You would be over 20k PPD with different WUs.

Edit: One one system I have with dual Xeons, I get 22k PPD. When they are crunching 6701 WUs though I get about 14k PPD on the same machine.

I presume I have no control over what WU's i get?

Not really. Some people will try to hand pick them by stopping the client and deleting the work folder and then download a new WU. It's not worth it IMO though and only hurts the research. All we can do is keep crunching these crappy WUs and hope we get through them soon.
 
Do you think theres any weight in my idea that i havent folded 10 passkeyed WU's yet? or am i destined for crappy WU's for the time being?
 
That could definitely be the case. I think we are all stuck on crappy WUs for the time being though.
 
No, I believe HFM calculates your PPD to include the bonus, regardless of whether you are actually eligible. So it seems accurate to me.

The way the bonus works, as I understand it, is the quicker you finish the WU the more points you get. Thus it scales almost nonlinearly...for example a single i7 rig at 4ghz will produce more points than 2 separate i7 rigs at 2ghz each because of the weight it has on how quickly you turn the WU in. This is why a dual Xeon rig @ 4ghz in an SR2 can produce 100k+ ppd.

Edit: So my point was that you aren't seeing crazy high ppd numbers on your SMP because of the lower clock speed. Your PPD numbers seem correct to me. According to http://linuxforge.net/bonuscalc2.php, 20min per frame on a 6701 will give you ~2700 ppd.
