NCC10281982B Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I am running folding on a xp 2000 system. Complete specs are in my sig. I also run snapstream pvs on that box. The current project is p1013_lzip_273. It has been running sense 5 pm jan 3 and is about 60 % complete, 6:45 pm jan 4. If I change the system to an a7m266d with two mp 2000 to you think I would see much of an increase in folding speed?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dignan Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Folding isn't like a regualr application in which you only get a 20-25% gain in speed, you truly get the number crunching ability of two proc. My duallie performs like 2 normal 2800+s in seperate comps as far as folding is concerned and uses a whole lot less power then 2 comps. Go for it, is that XP a old pally with the L5 bridge intact or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentsoundguy32 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 (edited) well yes and no. you'd be turning in twice as many work units, but you'd have to run a copy of F@H for each CPU so each would not be running any faster. id just be like adding another computer to your name. *Dignan beat me* Edited January 5, 2004 by SSG32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 (edited) Ok, I'll ge back to you. you'd be turning in twice as many work units, but you'd have to run a copy of F@H for each CPU so each would not be running any faster. How does that work?? Also could I run all processes excpt folding on cpu 1 and only folding on cpu 2?? The cpus are palamnos.

Dignan Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Yes you can, as long as you set the proc. affinity in task manager to each individual CPU. Right click the process and go to set affinity (CPU 0 or CPU1) and there you have it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Does this look right? BTW the affinity thing Dignan mentoned is not present. Also I have only one CPU graph. Both cpus are present in the device manager. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dignan Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 What OS are you running, if its XP go to the task manager click the performance tab. Then go to view and select CPU history and choose 2 graphs. For the affinity thing go to the process tab and select the first FAH core file right click and select choose affinity, set the first to CPU 0, do the 2nd FAH file and set it to CPU 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
