New SMP Clients. Version 6.29

New SMP clients has been released for Windows and Linux. Only Mac users are left out. Sorry Mac users.
We have just posted updates for all our SMP-capable clients except for the OS/X-Installer version. These updates do two things:
1. fix a small but important bug
2. enable the clients for the upcoming release of our first SMP2 cores (threads-based SMP)

The new client version is 6.29. Please update your clients at your earliest convenience if you are running SMP, particularly if you are running -bigadv work units.
We anticipate swapping over -bigadv work units to use only the new client in the coming weeks.

Client downloads are available at:

and windows SMP at:

So, how would I do this for a VM?

I have a FAH folder on the desktop with stuff in it, but the Linux64_FAH.vmdk is not expanded or anything.

I am an idiot with this stuff, so please throw me a bone.

Thanx!

After reading the thread it seems you can just do an upgrade also. I might try that and see how it goes after this unit is done and transmitted. Maybe upgrading wont hurt the current unit being folded, but I wont take the chance till it gets a new one ;)

Updating worked GREAT!

now the new package includes the un/pw so you dont have to type it in each time, but if you dont want to do that, upgrading is the way to go...

send ctrl+alt_del
enter your un and pw (fah/fah1234)

after that type this in

wget http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegrou ... -Linux.tgz
mkdir old
cp fah6 mpiexec old
tar xzf FAH6.29-Linux.tgz

then start your client like normal with either -smp 7 or -smp 8

I stole this from the same link above. It was written in the forum replies
