Thanks for the recognition...
For those of us with new multi-processor computers, F@H has new versions of the Folding @ Home software that will take advantage of the second, third, fourth or what have you cores. It is called Symmetric Multi-processing (SMP). It is still in Beta but could increase our productivity!
Check it out:
Can Highly recomend the smp clients.
The windows one - is dead easy to install and get running - does need a little bit of baby sitting and ideal for quad and C2D’s with a min of 1gb ram. (600-1200ppd on a C2D@2.0)
but will run on pentium d’s (above 2.8) and X2 (4000+)
The 64bit linux client is the top performer (1500-2100ppd on a C2D@3.0) One of my teams members has a guide to setting it up
http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~as239/temp/SMPGuideVer0.5.pdf
Its good with the x2’s, C2D & quads - Pentium D 900 series can work but only just.
It’s hassle to set up (unless you use linux which I don’t) but once running is really stable.
But types of SMP have WU with really short deadline (3 or 4 days) so really need to be run on pc’s that fold more that 15h a day if not 24/7.
Can some one add me to the ping list missed this thread completely.
