I'm running a dual 1G G4 with two instances of F@H. One processor has finished 89/200 frames, but the other has only finished 31/200. Is this normal variation for the different proteins that the processors might be working on? Both processes are showing greater than 95% in top and both have been running about 44 hours on a 24/7 basis with only light work on the machine during the day.

thanks,
kman

If you look at the file unitinfo.txt you can find out the protein that you are running. Then go to:
http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html

and look it up. You will see that there are 200 frame proteins worth 73, 55.5, and 47 points, which mean that they take different times to run.

Okay, I get it. The one that is running slower is worth 73 and the faster one is worth 47. That just about matches the difference in speed ratio.

Thanks!
