Nemo Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Guess I better hop on the bandwagon too. I've got two units currently processing with 15 and 32 hours left to go. I just stopped the service on both of them and launched them manually with the -oneunit flag so as soon as they finish I'll try setting this up. I downloaded vmware - man their servers are fast. ubuntu is downloading now. I'll be launching them on my dual Opteron 248 rig which is averaging < 250 ppd with two instances of the dreaded 212x WUs. We'll see what the improvement is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseMan42 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 I tried using the workstation version that I got from school and it didn't work, but the server sure does work like a charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 well i got it all installed & working, but my windows client only has 5 frames left to complete on my current WU, so i'm going to let it finish that then i'll crank up the SMP client. and to bad its only 64bit right now, otherwise i'd get my Core Duo T2400 folding SMP style in my laptop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Could you run VMware on a cluster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) you can get 100 free serials, run vmware server on each 64-bit smp pc, use samba share for monitoring with FahMon / EMIII... that would be running on a group of computers... but vmware server only seems to support 2 cpus, and i don't know any OS's that truly use cluster processing Monitoring as noted in the thread that Nemo linked to: FahMon can read SMP client progress but not the WU protein info EMIII reads the WU protein name, but not the progress Edited January 26, 2007 by hardnrg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Well that didn't quite go off as planned. VMWare is telling me my Opteron 248 will not support a 64-bit operating system. Did I fall asleep in class and miss something here? Edit: Apparently you can't run a 64-bit guest OS under VMWare on earlier models of the Opterons, you need Rev. E or later.

hardnrg Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 hmm Nemo, seeing as they are folding only and it's only a VMware limitation, maybe you could just install ubuntu-64-desktop as the os instead of FC? the installation and setting up samba share was so so easy, i'm sure you could do the four rigs within the hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 gonna set it up now, then get it cranking later. I have about 30 and 29 frames to go on both instances, that will go fast enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) well, i'm on my 3rd SMP WU now so that's 1432 points since i posted that i got it up n running edit: GOOD LORD, the current WU is cranking out 1668 ppd! in case anyone missed it... 1668 PPD on a single machine Edited January 26, 2007 by hardnrg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
