That’s exciting. I gave up on the Linux SMP system for now. It keeps reporting that the AMD 64 X2 is not SMP capable, so I started running two single cores on it. Now if I could make it start F@H as a service on restart then all would be fine.
I downloaded the latest ATI drivers (Catalyst 7.6) and was able to increase the overclocking on my ATI 1650 video card. Cuts about 10% off the folding time of a work unit, but the fan runs all the time.
Here is the latest report on the worldwide goal of a folding PetaFLOP:
OS Type............Current TFLOPS*....... Active CPUs
Windows.......................177.................... 185786
Mac OS X/PowerPC......8......................... 10546
Mac OS X/Intel.............15......................... 4828
Linux..............................41....................... 24396
GPU...............................46.......................... 772
PLAYSTATION®3.......452.......................24958
Total.............................739..................... 251286
The Playstation 3 folders have realy dropped for now. I expect that most of them are turned off during the week and are playing games on the weekend. Once some team has a Fold-a-thon focused on PS#3’s then we will be close to a 900 TFLOP sustained rate.
Hope to have a new thread up here soon. Feel free to ping me with worthy news articles that discuss teh basic research in Alzheimer’s and Huntingtons Disease.
Why can’t use set up the standard units client as a service?
It’s the second question on the list after -config or -configonly flags. (or are you running a standard linux client) if your using linux try finstall to load the clients.
sudo apt-get update>
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs #Answer yes to its request for disk space
cd ~
wget -c http://ra.vendomar.ee/~ivo/finstall
#Make finstall executable
chmod +x finstall
#Run script
./finstall
It’s the same commands for setting up smp (but without smp at the end of the last command line script.

Hope that helps
