i have 4 clients up and running so far for OCN. (wish i didnt have to do my other damn work and could just knock this out.)

i currently have two of these units but one is being used for internal development with no internet access....

really7-11 hours for the completion???

I would try running a single client that will utilize all cores.
Install the client and add the -smp -bigadv flags and you should see massive ppd.
You may want to try HFM to monitor the client instead of Fahmon.

In theory, you would only need 1 client, but you may be better off running 2 or 4 since a single client may not be optimized for that many threads.

I think the SMP client only scales to 16-24 cores, so 3 clients running -smp 21 would be the way to go.

If you follow the guide, You make a shortcut to the F@H client. Right click the shortcut and look for where it says target. Leave the target alone, and add " -smp 20" without quotes or however many cores you want to run, I just put 20. You have to have a space after your target, and between your smp and #.

On additional parameters, it almost looks like you put an extra space after the "[ ]?"
(if not, then dont worry about that)
you only need a space after the flag if you are going to put another flag down. (dont put space in front of the '-')

Otherwise, perhaps you could try [-smp 20]

I usually put that flag in the advanced options, but you are right, it is probably best to put it on a shortcut to make it easier to change.

And yeah, opposite of what I said for the additional parameters, you will want to put the space before the '-' when working with the shortcut.


Where is zodac when we need it... it always has the right answers

You can either put -smp 21 in the additional client parameters or add it at startup by calling C:\\fah\\fah1>fah1 -smp 21.

That message is telling you that MPI is not installed, it's harmless as MPI is no longer required.

There is some good information here about folding with 48 or more cores.
It looks like the memory is a real factor when folding with so many cores.

Holy Guacamole what a machine! It's estmating TEN MILLION POINTS A DAY! Even if that's wrong, that's epic!

Okay, I got that out the way .... try this to give a clue as to what's going wrong with client #1. Highlight the client in FahMon then click the Tools menu, the click on 'Show/Hide Messages Windows'. Do a screenie on that - upload here. Also, with client #1 still highlighted, go to the View menu and click on 'Show/Hide FAHlog' do a screenie on that and upload to here.

We might be able tell more after seeing the screenies.

Wow .... I hope you can keep folding on this beast. 150K is WAY low for the PPD on it - more like double or even triple that.

zodac has to see this .... where is the z?
