What, no bigadv for 12 threads anymore ?

As of 2 days ago, by 3930 only gets A3 clients. PPD dropped 70k.

Dropped 70k from what ?

 

[Markfw]

From 200k to just over 120k. I see you have a 3930, still getting bigadv units ?

BA8/12 are dead, Jim.

Now that you mentioned it, I'm not..

Guess we have to take what we can get..

What do you mean by that ?

 

[Diogenes2]

I think he means that 8 - 12 core machines are not being assigned big-adv work units..

I remember hearing about this at the first of the year ..

I wonder what would happen if we upped the virtual cores on Virtual Box ?

Time to stop folding. I now have a mortgage to pay, and I can't afford $3000 for a 16 or more core server box.

assholes.

Edit: I tried 16 on the existing unit. I locks up (sort of, no progress)

Mark, perhaps you could make money with your computers doing this?

I switched the VirtualBox to 16 cores, it finished the unit it was working on and the next unit it received was bigadv = 8101 ..

I then switched virtual cores back to 12 and it is chugging along.. ETA 2.1 days , ~100kPPD ..
