Folding client question..

[networkman]

Okay, from what I can tell, the Folding@Home client isn't SMP compliant.. bit of a bummer, but then neither is the SETI client; that was one of the really great things about RC5 - SMP compliance - worked great on the 6-way ALR! But I digress..

Anyways, I'm figuring that I'd need to set up seperate folders for the Folding clients, but I can't find a way to make the 2nd client client "see" the 2nd CPU. Anybody with some ideas?

what do you mean "see" the second cpu? I have one of my BP6s folding and all I did was put them in separate directories and KAZAAM they both fired up, although it did take a while for them to get their first FU and start folding.

I am not the one who should be replying I suppose but I didn't seem to have that problem. Are you using KDfold or a different app to "watch" your production? That really helped me because I didn't know if i had it setup but both CPUs seem to be folding away

This thread should help you with your problem, networkman

Thanks guys!

It would appear that the Folding client doesn't make near as much use of the extra cache on a Xeon as compared to the Seti client.
