What to expect? (Distributed Folding)

[Robor]

I'm new to the team and I'm trying to monitor the progress of my clients via HERE. Yeah, I'm kinda anal (no, not *that* way unless you're... nevermind) as far as my production goes. 😉 Anyway, I'm looking for a sort of benchmark to judge what I should be getting out of my clients. I've been watching that site and it seems I've been stuck on one number for a while and I'm worried my work clients might not be active. Here's my current DF clients:

Home
P4 1.6a@2200
P3-700@933

Work
8 Dell GX-240 P4 1.5 -1.8

All are 24/7 and have 256MB or more RAM so they're using the "useram=1" feature in service.cfg.

Thanks!

If you go here it gives break downs by every three hours to give you a better idea of your progress.

ReaganCRW: Nice! I will bookmark that one. More stats is a good thing. Thanks!

I'd still like to know what to expect (ballpark structures per day) out of those clients. Just want to know so I can check on them and make sure they're all producing.

Nuther question... If I browse to the DF working directory and see the progress.txt file at the current time/date does that mean it's still working or possibly just trying to upload or upgrade itself? I checked my work clients and all of the progress.txt files were current.

Edit: Just noticed... Other than me the last post in that DF forum appears to be from Thursday. 🙁 Are you talking about a different forum?

Benchmarking with this project is kind of hard. It varies week to week based on protein size. Currently my Athlon 600@690 is producing about 20,000 per day. A good way to monitor a whole bunch of systems is to get the program KDfold. it will monitor over a network and give pretty nice stats too.

Hope this helps a bit.

by the way I am currently not using the extra RAM feature.🙁

A bit less stats (perhaps) but more configurable (the Java version anway)
