Hey, Egon, would you ask your brother if there is any way to configure the Linux FAHconsole to use more memory?
I'm running FAH in a shell-Konsole of a standard version of MEPIS on an older system with 512 MB ram, but FAH is only using 96 MB which leaves 81% free. No other programs are running (except the weather utility which is auto-installed with Mepis).
I'm hoping that giving the program more physical memory might speed up folding of larger WU's. Of course, that may just be whistling Dixie in the dark, LOL.
If he has any other tricks or tips, I welcome them.
Thanks,
RT
I can ask him, but I doubt he's going to be able to offer anything.
From my reading of the FAH forums, I'm kinda remembering that the folding process is more a function of processor speed than of copious amounts of memory. I don't think it physically requires a lot of memory to do the actual folding.
Came across this...
