Yep, I have three monitors. Two 22" plugged into the 9800GX2's DVI ports. Still gives me errors. SLI and PhysX were both off during my testing, I have the latest drivers, and I reinstalled the GPU tray (not console) clients as per instructions linked to earlier in this thread that were written for this forum...

I really did want to Fold on that second GPU, but it is not cooperating. That is the only problem I've ever had with this GPU, actually.

I think my netbook can pull about 300 ppd. I get about 15/1500 every hour. But i'm not too sure since it's my first time folding. It's actually pretty cool. Will continue to fold!!

how are you allocating the extra monitor? extend/display 1/2 etc

i just know SLI->dual GPU needs to be 'extended' when i fold or the client crashes

Display 1 is primary (9800GX2-A), Display 2 is secondary (extend, 9800GX2-B), and Display 3 is secondary (extend, 7900GTX-A).

taichi135 is the folding name.

Umm, how exactly do I check my ppd? I'm guessing 1000pts a day. I used to have a number of PC's folding, but lost them due to changes at work... :?

update, I've got two pc's folding again, yay. Working on more throughout the day! :)

Ok so my PS3 is folding (BTW My username is umm. Forsaken's_PS3)
Anyway, I've also thrown in a couple HP DL360's, not sure how much PPD they will be producing, but
i wouldn't imagine it to be a huge amount.

I still see team's A B C D - have you added more? The standby list for team's 5 & 6 is ~12 or 13 people now...
Just want to see what team im on so I can root for us :-)

OK here are the servers I got so far:

9x p4 3.0 single core processor servers
1x Xeon Dual 2.0 Quad Core (8core total)
1x Xeon Dual 3.0 Dual Core (4 core total)

I will have more up later today.

It has been a very long time since I have messed with this and I wanted to make sure I am going this right with the multicore servers. I read the wiki and followed the instructions, but wanted to pick yalls brains.

I created a different directory for each instance. I then used the -configonly and went into the advanced option to set the Machine ID to the core # e.g. MID 1 for core 0 and then used the taskset -c 0 ./fah6 to launch it in a screen session. Here is the screen session for the 8 core:

[root@fah3 ~]# screen -ls
There are screens on:
13507.5 (Detached)
13396.3 (Detached)
13373.4 (Detached)
13578.8 (Detached)
13422.2 (Detached)
13555.7 (Detached)
13530.6 (Detached)
13443.1 (Detached)

6 out of the 8 processes are working. the ones that arent are sitting at:


[09:44:27] - Attempt #9 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry.
[10:05:47] + Attempting to get work packet
[10:05:47] - Connecting to assignment server
[10:05:47] + No appropriate work server was available; will try again in a bit.
[10:05:47] + Couldn't get work instructions.

But for the most part i think things are looking good. Hope this helps the team! Like i said, I will try and get more servers up.

If these are linux servers (I assume they Are) SMP client works reallly well and automatically will use all cores available.
Windows has a SMP client too, however I have had horrible luck with it.

ALSO:
My WU's are showing up http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... TraceHagan
but not on the extremeoverclocking site.
