Guys,

I am trying to setup my i7 to fold bigadv WU. But I am not getting assigned to one. I have to manually enter proxy info for the GPU clients. Is there a way to do so in the VMware player? I have chosen both bridged mode and NAT but not getting assigned any WU.

Appreciate your help!!

I did a Google search for 'vmware player 3.0 proxy' and this was one of the links. If that doesn't work then maybe you can find one with a search of your own. Good luck.

Make sure you use v3.0.0 as v3.0.1 only allows 4 cores for some reason.

Does this PPD look about right guys?

From what I remember my 4850 did 2500 PPD, why would your superior card being doing less?

Depends on the work unit. I'm only folding on a single GPU on it, btw.

I'm more concerned about CPU output. Never folded on the SMP client before. Note that I am clocked at 3.6Ghz, for heat reasons.

And with 6GB of ram, would it benefit me to allow big work units.

I would say thats about right for your CPU
my i7@3.9ghz is ~16k ppd so half of that would be 8k and take off alittle for the lower clocks and the ATI client taking up CPU cycles. Looks fine to me :toast:

I'm stock 2650 miles from my rigs and I will not be back on time for the kick-off. Damn. Will try to make up for it when I do come back. Good speed folders

I'd like to represent TPU with some i7 Powarr but I'm completely lost in the whole VMWare business, what do i need to fold on this i7?

Well, as you only have 3GB of RAM you can't run -bigadv, but at 3.8ghz you should get ~16k PPD running SMP2 (see guide in first post), at 4.5ghz you'd get a good bit more (20k+ PPD due to better bonuses)

crush3r · May 3, 2010

Thanks, ambients aren't on my side at the moment and at 3.8 she loads at ~75. Not too comfortable having it much higher than that. I'll set it up now and see how it goes :toast:

Ambients are a bit of an issue, at 3.4ghz on my X4 I'm getting close to 60C load (highest I tolerate for AMD CPUs) with up to 90F ambients...hopefully the Corsair H50 which is due to arrive Wednesday will help :cool:

You'll need the passkey in order to get the bonuses, and enter the username/team as ChimPowerUp and 50711, respectively. PM me for the passkey :toast:

One more thing, will SMP2 use all 8 threads, it says "SMP is mainly for Dual Core and Quad Core CPU's" and do I need to do the bit with replacing the exe with win32 one? I'm on win7 64

I've never used SMP2, so you'll need to check w/ one of the experts here (I've only ever used quads and duals), but if you add the -smp 8 flag to the shortcut (along with -smp -advmethods) you should use all 8 threads)

Could an i7 pro chime in? Cheers Ion!

PM Buck Nasty or p_o_s_pc, I know they've both had practical experience with i7s (and SMP), I've only had practical experience with the latter and theoretical experience with both (reading :rolleyes:

)

I set it up according to the 'How to set up Windows SMP/SMP2 CPU Client' thread and I'm getting this

Any ideas?

EDIT: Re-ran install.bat and it's working now, but only on 1 thread?!

EDIT 2: It's now running at 50% cpu usage?

bogmali · May 3, 2010

SMP2 will use all eight cores with the flags: -smp 8 -advmethods -verbosity 9

I found that the VMware image is more responsive than the windows client when running non-bigadv WUs. You can use the -bigadv FAQ that I had. Instead of running the command ./fah6 -bigadv -smp 7 or 8, you can just do ./fah6 -advmethods -smp 8 and watch it fly

crush3r · May 3, 2010

It's now running all 8. If the system's unstable will it tell me on the spot when it has an error or just wait till the end of the WU and say it's not valid?

You will get errors once it starts folding, usually right away if your rig is unstable.

Guys,

Could anyone please tell me the smp and bigadv WU assignment servers? I am not getting assigned a WU.

Ping to these servers get me 4 replies. But when I open these in a browser on port 80 or 8080, it says blocked.

171.64.65.54

171.64.65.54

All of my bigadv rigs use this assignment server.

171.62.108.22

I have never owned a 8600GT before but would you say ~2.1k PPD is good for the GPU? (shaders at 1650mhz) 353pt WU btw

That's incredible, I got ~1700 on 353pt WUs on an EVGA 8600GTS SSC, less on larger WUs (down to ~1400 on 1888s)

the SMP 2 client WILL run on all 8threads WITHOUT using any flags. The new A3 core added support for 8threads. All you have to do is setup the SMP2 client like normal and all is good :toast:
