Sorry guys I have been on a long absence. I am back now and rolled in 30Ghz+ for Team 93. Should be pulling away from the 350points/day quite soon....

Good to be back!!

    Enisada, welcome back!

    Please tell me some of the 30GHz is dual core! Please! Are you aware that SMP Windows is now available? The points produced by SMP are simply dazzling!

    Really...hmm I may have to do some looking into this SMP madness you speak of.

    More points for SMP than for 2 separate processes?

    I have one dual-core rig (Opteron 165 @ 2.5) running two separate instances. Would I be better off running 1 SMP?

    Also, I have both FAH's throttled to 80% to free up some CPU time for the GPU client I have running. Would be better (points-wise) to run the SMP version of FAH than two separate instances? Should I not GPU fold with SMP or would I just throttle SMP to 80% and continue with GPU folding also?

    You should definitely be running the SMP client. SMP client's production is at least 2-3 times higher than two separate processes running. And you don't need to throttle FAH, it runs at lowest priority meaning that it will interfere with your desktop programs very little. You should not even feel it.

    I was planning to test GPU and SMP clients together. My initial experience is that GPU client takes close to half of dual-core CPU computational power. But my evaluation is not final yet. It would be nice to hear from you on this.

    Good luck :)

    The GPU client will consume 100% of one CPU Core if I let it. I only have a 256MB X1600. I think if I had a 512MB X1950XT that would free up some CPU resources as little system RAM would be used and therefore almost everything could be done on the video card. I throttle the FAH-CPU processes to 80% because they starve the FAH-GPU client (normally under 5% if FAH-CPU is given 100% CPU). This way I see 40%/40%/20% which is fine with me.

    Yes. I'm running four computers, all overclocked (100% stable) to 4.0GHz, with SMP. The same machines previously each ran two instances each of F@H. My production, measured in points, has more than doubled.

    Looks like I will need to give SMP a try.

    Actually I don't have a single SMP client running yet....I hope to soon though.

    10K? Hehe-

    Then you are in for a treat if a bundle of those are multi-cores that can do SMP :thumbsup:

    Aight, I'm a big n00b. I downloaded the smp client, I downloaded and installed .net (Hated that btw) and ran the install.bat... now what? It's asking me for an account and passord.

    The account in which WinSMP runs in MUST have a user name AND login set. There is no getting around it. If you don't want to log in manually when Windows boots:

    Go to Run, enter "control userpasswords", and set the account to log on automatically at start. The account in which WinSMP runs must have administrator privileges. I'm also reading that the account under which it is installed must be the administrator account. Sorry, but there are no workarounds on this. Once the points start rolling in though, you won't remember the pain!

    It's a pain. According to the Pande team, .Net framework was the only way they could find the means to get SMP Folding to run in Windows. They consider the accomplishment of actually having WinSMP working to be somewhat of a miracle. The points for SMP are lavish; Stanford considers that justified as apparently the scientifically usable data being returned is voluminous.

    I guess....not sure what .Net has to do with it...if it works, o well.

    Now that they have a client that isnt completely linear, IE it can split the work between different CPUs/cores, I wonder if it could be used in a beuwulf cluster of sorts. The entire problem with it before was that FAH did one calculation and then used that calcuation for the next....now that it can be split up.....hmmmm....me ponders.

    LOL. Well said. WinSMP was the first time I ever had any use whatsoever for .net Framework. I found it so ironic when I went through the SMP Windows instructions - 'hey, I actually finally found a use for .net!.'

    I've had to install it for Microsoft Visual Studeo 6, .Net and 2003. With the 2 recent XP installs on the lappy and desktop its the first time since high school I have not had it on a computer.
