mattwalter85 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 here ya go guys. I have 8 SMP clients running at the same time. one per thread and the GPU client on my gtx 295. i've done 31wu's in the past 24 hours i cant wait to see what happens with my second vid card in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 8 SMP clients doesn't really make sense...I'd guess 2 Linux SMP with vmware would be sufficient, and then just run dual console GPU2's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwalter85 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 lol idk i just wanted to try it. its keeping my i7 and 100% cpu usage, temps are right at 58C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergeek101 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 SMPs could do it nicely, because running SMP on mine, it's still maxed out 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Isn't the benefit of the SMP client that it uses more than one core? Wouldn't running 4 make more sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwalter85 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 well when i run 4 it doesn't use 100 percent so i ran eight. one per thread lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 but each SMP uses 2 threads so double that is pointless, just slows things down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwalter85 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 yeah but only running 4 only puts the cpu at 57 percent load...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 2 SMPs seem to work best on my i7s, if add a 3rd or 4th it just takes away from the others and slows them all down to equal a little less than the 2... Edit: By looking at the times in the WUs those are not SMPs, there just the regular client. You have to use the smp flag to get smps...
