The new Hexus Teams - Setting up Folding at Home

[TAKTAK]

(IIRC)because you have a quaddie you need to run 2 instances of the SMP client matey i think you just set the second to machine ID 2...

[SiM]

Nah, quad can be maxed out with 1 smp client afaik, it runs 4 threads...

It is useing all four cores, just about half of each, or skipping between using max on each one.

Prehaps its just waiting for another core to finish??

The SMP client doesn't have a graphical interface does it?
Have you got the SMP client from here:

If you use the MPICH version - you need to run it with a -SMP
Then if you check your task manager you should have 4 processes beginning something like fah.

I've updated the instructions for normal client and SMP client to include details on entering your Passkey...

If someone could send me some instructions for setting up f@h on a nvidia card - I can add this to the instructions?

Its the same as the normal gui client... Just install and it works... You enter team number and user name in the settings

Just fired up the GPU client to give it a whirl on my 8800GTS 320MB. What sort of iterations per sec should I be getting? It's doing about 2000/sec on average, is that ok?

Would run on my PS3 also, but not keen on leaving that on when it doesn't need to be...

setup and sorted

[crazy]

[Marcos]

Yep, got my PS3 folding now too

thing is, how much cheaper is off-peak electricity rates?

and is there some sort of low-power mode for the PS3? im leaving it on overnight

[The Jambo]

Kick starting the old beast again, I swear ill keep it going most of the time, at least till christmas.

We need to get in the top 100!

[sawyen]

So is my PS3 welcomed for the aim to hit 100?

If so, I'll revert to serve Hexus tonight..

You want the High Performance Clients, which are beta.

Scroll down to the last 2 of the first box and choose between 32 or 64 bit. You'll have to install some service thing though. They were released on 2008-08-08 and the 64 bit client has been working for me
