Folding And Hyperthreading


Whitelightning

Recommended Posts

I got my intel rig running....2.4c overclocked to 3.2ghz...I have hyperthreading enabled and I am folding...I made a new folder and copied the folding program to it...I am running 2 instances of folding...in the task manager it shows each instance as using 50% cpu power....is this the correct way it should run or should each instance say 100%???

yeah but i think you have to have them running on different 'processors' go into task manager, processes right click on the cores and go to set affinity... and put them on different 'processors' like 0 and 1. thats how i have mine set up

Setting the affinity is not necessary. I believe GTSticky did a test on this a while back and reported that setting the affinity actually hurt performance. I never bothered with this myself on my P4.

:withstupid: Ditto. Setting affinity doesn't do squat. :foldon:

Make sure you went into the change advanced settings and each omne has to have a different ID# I use 1 and 2, just as long as they are different or you will run the same work unit 2 at a time go to stanford and look at the dos and donts for he console guide
