Guest ecthlipsis Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) I just want to know if this is... err.. normal. I'm going to assume, no... it isn't. I've already completed p3040 Supervillin-03, a nice big 5000 frame WU, and it took about 3 days. Then I had some little 100 frame thing... but this? How is it even possible that ANY WU can take 103 days? I'll never finish it =\ it's just 5000 frames, too.. I guess on the plus side, when I did I'd get like 2.5 billion points (On August 7th, hahaha) ^^ *update* I did a restart and now it's only 1d... my cpu must have been raped =\ Edited April 25, 2007 by ecthlipsis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 that happens when you don't properly shutdown the F@H client. Then it will automatically slow down the client, but a simple client restart fixes that. Alternatively, you could add the -forceasm tag to the shortcut, which will automatically force the advanced optimization code (or whatever it is) on.

hardnrg Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 If you restart the client part way through a step, the frame time (and therefore ETA) will be inaccurate until a complete step was been processed from beginning to end. It'd be like calculating your average miles per hour between two checkpoints if you stopped for 3 days and the distance between the checkpoints was only like 10 miles... obviously you aren't gonna be driving at like 0.2mph but according to the checkpoints you are.... and then if you used the 0.2 mph for an ETA of when you'd arrive at your final destination, you'd probably be dead lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd thing was, I restarted the client several times before posting (kinda common sense) and it didn't change. I suppose it was because each step of this large of a WU probably takes about 20-30 mins and thus even after restarts it still wasn't done with one... Thanks for the input. Next week I should have my E6600 machine built and running and then hopefully these will move much more quickly *pride* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
