slow folding

[kylepaddock]

I setup VMware, it is acting super slow. It is taking me just as long with VMware as in the old cmd smp. any ideas?

Depends on the cores you get, a1s are for dual core machines- they can only use 2 cores of a quad- so they are the slowest. a2s and a3s are for quads or better and are faster.

[kylepaddock]

what do you mean by a2s? I have a quad-core

[vbironchef]

how do you get the a2s and a3? Is there a drop-in code that I can't find. Please post if anyone knows.

[spitter]

You get assigned server when you turn in a work unit, sometimes they have a1s only, it's like folding gpu sometimes you get the easy 353 cores, and sometimes you get the 1888 cores.

What I don't understand is how to run v2.15. This is really making my head spin. I can't find anywhere how to get it. So are you saying I should keep folding the a1 cores? I just don't see why I should if they don't count for the bigav.

I am with you.

Fold em and turn them in, the more you fold smps the less likely you are to get the a1s.

it is taking 27 hrs per unit

Ok, I am installing it again now.

Code: Select all

It is asking to run 7 or 8 cores
smp -7
smp -8

some thing like that, what should i type in if i have a quad core?

[kylepaddock]

ok, it is running now, where are my log filed kept so i can watch it with fahmon?

We need more info. As spitter says, it depends on which FahCore you got from the server.

@vibron. Check out about25376.html on how to get A3 WUs. For A2, you need to run VMware or Linux folding.
