How long does the average WU take?

so is 1 day a good amount of time for a 5000 frame wu? i'm getting 20s/frame. just curious if thats normal or not.

I think you mean 20min/frame. ;) That's pretty good for an A64 depending on the project. If you scroll toward the top where the work unit downloaded it will give you a Project number. If you can tell us what that is most of us can compare with what you've got.

p3038_supervillin-03
GROMACS Core

and it says 20s/frame

That's not bad. My E6600 is doing that project 15-16min/frame. I've also got one core of my QX6700 (3.5GHz) running it at 11min/frame.

This unit is a "Gromacs" and they seem to run much better on Core 2 Duo's, however if you get an "Amber" unit the A64's are quite a bit faster than the C2D. Lately it seems like they are sending a bunch of Gromacs and the points are really low compared to GPU or SMP folding. Hurry up with that Windows SMP client!!!

d there is no way its gonna be 20s per frame. Where are you getting that number from?

it was what it said on the Folding @ Home display under the frames completed part. I think its right too since it was 5000 frames and 5000 frames at 20 secs each is 27.7 hrs to complete which is about how long it took me to do that WU.

The new one is taking a lot longer though and the frame amount is 4x as much. 20000 frames

I think it makes sense too, because with my proc at 2 ghz, it shows 31s per frame.

I'm getting 32s per frame (as per graphical client) and about 20min per step (per FahMon 2.1.1)

Sorry, I was referring to steps while you all were referring to frames.

Tis ok guys. I just prefer to look at it in a way that makes me feel the best about not having C2D.

For me a 20,000 frame protein was folding at 15 frames/second. Now I got a 1500 frame protein, and it is 51 frames/second.
