yatta!
 

No, not these funny men...

I'd like to make a F@H yatta :)^
I was thing of 5-6 mobos in 1 array, should be nice..

Only: I have no idea how to make one.. Well, I've got a few ideas, but those plans are pretty basic and I don't know they'll fulfill my needs.

I've seen a few pics featuring a harddisk for every mobo, but I'd like to use none/1 HD for all the systems. The link in this has been down for a long time bw.

Ow and btw: is it possible to run some kind of a folding-proxy?
Something like a local folding server, providing enough WUs for 5 systems to work 1 or 2 weeks?

can't you boot Linux over network?

exotic root (DHCP/TFTP) should do the trick

I was also thinking of linux :)

But I'll need to learn a bit about network booting, is kind of a dark area for me :)

Ow yes: order these in order of importance for fast folding, please:

- CPU Mhz
- FSB Mhz
- RAM timings
- RAM Mhz
- number of lights in your case

- CPU Mhz

is the only that counts

And how about AMD Mhz vs Intel Mhz?

clock for clock, P4 vs AXP = AXP wins by quite a lot

AMD @ 2.3ghz
P4 @ 3ghz

Intel TestRig: p251_gnra_dd_epsilon_erf_e0.5_c18 total time: 4:08:20
AMD TestRig: p251_gnra_dd_epsilon_erf_e0.5_c18 total time: 4:25:00


A64 vs AXP clock for clock, you will see the A64 pull ahead if I'm not mistaken, no hands on experience there (yet;))


Speedwise

P4 << AXP < A64

protein name - time per frame - total time - name foldstation

this one is nice ->

And how about HT?
A P4 can do 2 WU at the same time, right?

let me cook up some more stats, BRB ;)
