So many sleepers in 183368

Well, as you can see in my sig, I'm nowhere near 16 cores. Sometimes I wish I were, though!

It really just depends on what you're doing with it. Most of the time 16 cores really doesn't do much for you. I have a 16 core (hyperthreads) workstation that does my folding and my regular day to day computing when I'm not gaming. It's not something that most here would envy I think. Only 2 GHz and a passively cooled video card. However it folds like a 1st gen i7 @4+GHz yet consumes around 200W while doing it. (it can't do bigadv, btw. Not fast enough)

The work changes size depending on what work Stanford needs done so that' not unusual. Also they tend to gear the work & points towards current hardware so it's kind of a moving target there as well.

As for the largest WU? There is a special class of work called bigadv that can literally take days of constant work on high end machines. The minimum requirement to even get assigned that work is a 16 core machine.

Yeah I am doing GPU folding (660M) and I just got in the past day a 1.2 day or so WU, says 14,000 points. So they must have faith in me

BACKUP your WORK directory in AppData > Roaming > FAHClient ... I had a few crashes (overclocking and mucking around) so luckily I could recover the checkpoint when FAHClient refused to.

10 Hours to go... 14,000 points hopefully... come to papaaaaa

Yes and it's also depends on which 16 cores you have. In my case there is a single Opteron 6282SE and I miss only some seconds of the TPF. So I need at least another one or overclock this one. But SE can't be OCed :/

So now I sometimes get normal low WUs (4-9k PPD) and sometimes bigger ones (10-22k PPD).
