Running a bit behind because of work, still working on it but it may be after the weekend before I get back to it.
I have to move out of my house by Monday, but my offer on the new place has not been accepted yet. It's a logistics nightmare, I will be staying at my Mom's, my house stuff will be in storage, my cars and trailers will be scattered throughout 3 peoples backyards.

I'll bet it is. I went through much the same some years ago when I was still stateside...but it all turned out for the best in the end. So will yours.

Well at lest it looks like I did no harm...":O}

[ThunderRd]

My production will be off for two or three days while I get some renovations done on the shops. Back to normal o/a Wednesday for all you western hemisphere folks....

[Samuknow]

It's all good. I bet you still stay higher ppd with most of them off.

So what you doing to the shops?

[PorPorMe]

Sam,
Off topic but are you getting any of Ike's pleasantries where your at? Wondering because of the flood was yesterday, sort of.

[Samuknow]

We had some nasty stuff this weekend. trees and siding down. Today it is nice and cool out.

[ThunderRd]

Some electrical work and adding new office space, with a proper air conditioned server space in each shop. Have to raise the flooring and do a few other things. I've been wanting to do this for awhile but just finalized the plans recently.

oK, now that I got another mb for the 939 dual core and installed smp, there are 4 instances
of 'FahCore_a1.exe running. what do I do now?? is cpu affinity an issue?? I've never seen this
before!! btw, it's the 6.22 Deino Beta and it took me a few tries to get it this far!!

SMP runs 4 cores. It was designed for quads....

damn, never really noticed. I thought it was taking too long and looked at 'processes'. read your reply
and checked another dual core box to find 4 instances of fahcore-a1.exe. now I know.

You will also see 5 instances of deino...so don't be skeeered.

New client version 6.23 available here:

http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/fold...-Win32-x86.exe

http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding/linux/fah6

Client reportedly handles EUEs and hung client situations better than before. This is not an installer, just drop it in over the old executable in your SMP directory.

another problem has reared it's ugly head. earlier this month, none of my smp clients would start/run. I decided to remove/delete everything and start over. downloaded the 6.22Beta SMP, installed and started Folding only to find 1 instance of FahCore_82.exe running at 50%. I am sure there is a reasonfor this and a way to get it straightened out. I will see what I can do from here. any help will be welcome.

AFAIK, that isn't an SMP core. In fact, I could be wrong but I think it's a Linux uniprocessor core. I'm not at my machine to tell you for sure but I'm pretty sure it isn't what you want. Don't ask me how you got it, IDK

[dabaerman]

I know that 5.91/5.92 have expired. I went to F@H and downloaded 6.22Beta and after installing it on 3 boxes, all are doing the same core. on this box it's a Gromacs 3.3 Core, V 1.93, project 5113. it is the Deino version, going to try the mpich or something.

Ron

[ThunderRd]

I'm not saying you're lying - far from it. Stranger things have happened. In my XP SMP boxes, I have fahcore_a1.exe only. All of them.

And in my Linux SMP boxen, I have a1 and a2 only.

Not a hint of fahcore_82. I'm nearly sure it's a uniprocessor core. Are you sure you downloaded the right thing? Maybe post the log. It might help troubleshoot.

[dabaerman]

TR, here is the log file from the AM2, XP, NTFS.

Ron

[dabaerman]

and here is the log file form the AM2, XP, FAT32, mpich.

you've forgotten the smp flag/argument and the deino, too.

without any arguments = single core client
with -smp = MPICH SMP
with -smp -deine = DEINO SMP

start the .exe with -config -> advanced options -> additional parameters
for MPICH type in: -smp
for DEINO type in: -smp -deino
