Verran Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Really nice guide. This will be helpful for any VMWare stuff, not just folding. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I usually add the -advmethods attribute aswell to the command, ie ./fah6 -smp -advmethods as that will bring you work units for the SMP GROMACS CVS core which is newer and faster. You can and have to set this in the client if you want the a2 cores. A2 cores are only available if 4 or more cores are detected but will run on 2 which will get you even more PPD. I am not sure if it will work with Linux in VMware but if you have a Quad and run Native Linux this is the way to go. On a Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz running dual SMP clients for instance the WU 2674 in getting 3600 ppd, so your looking at around 7200 ppd. The A2s are only available in Linux, so do not look for them in Windows, they cant get windows to run them I think it overloads it or something...

kingdingeling Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Very nice guide, I especially like the pictures! Thanks for putting one like this together, it will certainly help new folders Maybe I am missing it somehow, but have you also described how to run it in the "DOS-like" mode as we were speaking about in the other thread? It gives a couple more PPD as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives a couple more PPD as well I honestly don't remember what the key combination for that is. I believe there is an option at the login screen to do it.

333 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Wow...I really feel like a noob. Even with pictures and the great write up, I was still scratching my head... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ctrl+alt+F1 changes to text mode but I cant remember what keys change it back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Great guide like I said earlier. I'm almost all done with getting the Linux SMP up and running on my Q9450. For some reason, I couldn't get VMware Server 2 to work, but I got VMware Server 1.something to work. road-runner, how do you get FAHMon to monitor your Linux SMP production. I'm curious how to monitor my 2 VMware clients and my GPU2 clients all on the same rig... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got FAHMon checking my 2 SMP clients and my 4850. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseMan42 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I use this guide... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 My little blurb on Samba is basically the same thing in much less steps. If you want to follow that guide it would work just the same. I just tried to cut down on some of the steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLS2008 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 All that is left to do now is to point your choice monitoring program to this directory and you are good to go. Where is this directory? I've looked under my Virtual Machines folder and there's no folders. I've looked on the network and there's no folders there either. Am I not looking in the right places, or did I set up Samba wrong?
