New GPU client is out and have some questions

[vbironchef]

My GPU client stopped working today. I instaled new version of GPU client. I went to start SMP client and it would not start. I instaled new version of SMP as well. Ok, my questions are: What is and what does DeinoMPI?
When I started the SMP client and checked the affinity setting it was not using 100% of cpu. It was only showing one process in task manager, so started one more SMP and checked the task manager again and now I have two processes running.
Bottom line: I now have 3 SMP clients running and 1 GPU client running. Why are the new SMP clients giving so low of points? I now have 100% usage of the cpu, but my memory is not being used as much as before with the old clients. Is anybody else running into these issues? Like I said this just happened today. Everything is different now with the new SMP. Maybe I don't have it instaled right? For a short time today I could not connect to Legit Reviews, how about anyone else that could not connect today.

I found this site to help with what I am saying http://folding.typepad.com/news/2008/08/index.html and http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

Glad mine are still running, for now!

Why cant they just make them updateable?

That denoiMPI is the new MPI - I remember them talking about it from the beta version that I have installed on the vista64 computer.

I will have to download the new clients, I guess, and give them a try to see if I have the same problems. I dread the expiration dates.

I lied - my vista 64 computer was stopped so I installed the new client like a good little folder.

I have the SAME problem. First you have to add the -smp switch, which is REALLY stupid since it is a SMP client, then it detects both cores, but only runs at 50% speed.

gotta love updates I guess I will have to go through the hell of getting rid of this client and going back to the new expiration dated 5.91/5.92.

I dont even want to think that the Linux computer needs updated - unless it gets it automatically from the update program, that is just hell on earth to do that one.

I am going to try this version of SMP client later today Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008 SMP client console version 6.22 beta2 for MPICH (32-bit or 64-bit) I will let you know how it goes. The other version is not a happy camper on my rig.

mine either, its making me redo all my passkey and account name and passwork junk everytime i restart the client, and even then it just sleeps

Go to my post How to Install 6.22 SMP client install

[martini161]

did that

[vbironchef]

Delete your client and reboot.

This new client is not happy with my system... crashes all the time with a GTX 260 at default clock speeds.... grrr

[stopthekilling77]

ummmm Nate, minor typo.... (clock speeds)

not sure why you'd be referencing the running speed of a rooster

LOL - nice catch. We know where Nates mind is

smp is still only running on 1 core on the vista64 system. I might have to get my fat lazy ass up and fix it today.

I am having similar problems with my 8800GTX, its crashing after every WU
Has anyone found a fix for this yet? If there's not a fix I may go back to the older client.

After every SMP client finishes you have to manually set the infinity setter. The GPU needs it own core.

I am not running SMP, just the GPU.
Crashing after every WU is a little exaggeration, it crashes every few and it is inconsistent on timing or number WU it completes before it crashes.
I have had to restart the GPU Client 4 times in the last 3 days.

I'll add the GPU client to the list as well. I have a laptop here in work that can do both SMP and GPU, and has XP on it so I'll do some writeups.

[vbironchef]

Have you tried the 177.72 drivers? What I have been reading in other forums is that some drivers work better than others, I guess you just have to try different drivers to find out the ones that work best for you.

[stopthekilling77]

Oh man, should I wait for the next version before I install the GPU client for my new 8800GTS 512?

[martini161]

No,it runs fine on my 8800gt g92

[stopthekilling77]

Cool cool, well I'll get to work on that just as soon as I play around with the new toy a bit ;)
