Mac Pro Folding

Post by DMB2000uk »

So I have an Intel Mac Pro at work that we just got, It's mine to use and it's been given the go ahead to let it fold ^_^

8 cores @ 2.8Ghz, this is going to crank out some serious numbers :P

Anyone know how to set up multiple SMP clients on a mac?
I've managed to get one SMP running, but it defaults the work units and stuff in the "/library/Folding@Home" folder, and any other clients try to write there as well.
Apparently you have to use the "-local" flag, but it doesn't seem to want to play nice.

I have found a folding monitor program called InCrease and i seem to have my console SMP running (from the terminal) and increase has an option to add one extra folding client (which manages to have its separate files to the "folding@home" folder).

So currently I am running 2 clients, one via the terminal, and one via this increase program. I want to run one more though. :(

Current est stats put this as 3-4k ppd ^_^

Nice DMB, glad to see it. I too will have two more machines coming online in the next month, as well as a processor upgrade for my personal laptop.
