How to set up smp client?

[wafflehammer]

it says for 32bit only and i'm running 64...so would it still work? a lot of 32bit only programs won't work with 64bit

Hmm, no idea... I'd check foldingforum.org. Or if you don't mind losing a wu every-so-often... notfreds cd in vmware.

ohhh k...they did have a guide. I went through it, have it set up...let me start and it's 1% now. Took about 9ish minutes to get that 1%, is that normal speeds for this? If not, i might of done something wrong

What unit? As I have some 1720sd 1920s, 2200ishs and 3300iish?

But 9mins is what the linux vers does on mine doing a EASY 1920ptr.

well i don't think i had it set up right...i think it was just using 1 core at a time (i didn't add the -smp tag thing)

but i'm redoing it


EDIT: okay...now all cores are staying between 60-80ish% instead of just 1..so i'm guessing it's working okay now.
EDIT2: completed first percent, took about 9-10 minutes but the unit is like 5mill steps instead of the 1-1.5ishmill the other one was...so 5 times the size and taking the same time. yay :]

I was looking at the smp setup, but I really got confused to be honest, and I have a headache. Lol. I'm just running two uniprocessor clients at the moment on my laptop to utilize both cores at 100%.

 

[wafflehammer]

well i have it working i guess...but no matter the WU size it takes about 11 minutes to get 1 percent. Why is this? seems like smaller the WU the more percent it would get in 11 minutes. Is this how it's suppose to be?

 

[patonb]

That seems normal.

What is the work unit pt value? As 90% are 1920pts

 

[wafflehammer]

no clue... lol so even if they do take the same time, the bigger the more points...correct? If that's the case, then all is okay i guess

Yha... i think... d/l fahmon and check the unit and pt values
