A little bit of a blow to our PPD

[1stRaven]

haha those numbers are outstanding!

Whats in the beast giving you almost 50k PPD?

We have three of those running (two are disabled at the moment) but there are dual xeon 6 core processors with Hyper-threading enabled. Gives 24 cores within the OS. 32gb of ram each. That one is running exch 2007 alongside the folding client.

jeesh! That 50k beast really is sucking it to them! That must be a dual processor 12 thread machine or something like that.

I can't believe that you still managed to knock out just shy of half a million points a couple of days ago. That's phenomenal!

See above. The 500k points is just when all of the 5 bigadv clients managed to send their units in on the same day. Doesn't happen that often though and the next day is always low. The bigadv units take around 36 hours on the 24 core machines between 48 and 54 hours on the 18 core machines.

Wow. Gonna need to overclock my i7 970 quite a bit to compete with that sort of kit!

CPU will be i7 980X or a xeon and GPU will be a GTX580. Surprised?

[watercooled]

Haha, nah I have a pretty god idea what will be at the top, I was just interested in how various ones perform and also how GPUs compare to CPUs at gaining PPD.

Does anyone know if there's one big table/leaderboard somewhere that lists hardware (CPU/GPU) in terms of F@H PPD? I've been Googling for such a thing but had no luck.

I've not seen a list of PPD specifically for everything as this varies based on several factors:

1. load
2. frequency
3. OS
4. Percentage resource allocated to that device
5. work unit
6. type of client being run

I did publish a list to http://www.overclock.net/overclock-n...-database.html which also has a list of gpu cards somewhere on it, but unless I'm mistaken, there's no mention of PPD.

Bit-tech did a review at the launch of the GTX 480 and compared the efficiency of several graphics cards, and they had a list that they displayed, along with the power consumptions.

see here and here

It's a real shame that when Hexus do a review of a new GFX card, despite numerous requests, they've still not included an evaluation of the folding perfomance.

Maybe we can post that information...?

Guess we'll need:

Processor & operating frequencies/details
Priority
client version
Operating system
PPD range

Anyone else interested in this? I'll get the ball rolling later on if there's enough interest...

The list is there, everything with PPD:

Thanks very much, exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.
