Hey Folders @ home... how do i add more processes?

[Esquire]

my mac pro 8 core wants to run full out but only 4 are hitting it. how to bump it?

 

[covert24]

i guess start another instance of it? or set up 8 instances with all different affinities? i bet you are looking forward to getting some serious WUs done with that bad ass machine

You can run two SMP clients to use all cores.

Run from two directories. I think you have to use a console SMP client so you can configure the second one to a MachineID other than "1".

this might help you

in short:
-download and install first SMP client
-download and install fah smp affinity changer
-install second SMP client with machine ID 2 instead of default 1
-create shortcuts to both fah.exe to your desktop (name the 2nd one fah2.exe)
-paste this into the end of the target line after u click on each shortcut on your desktop:
"-local -forceasm -advmethods -verbosity 9 "
-run each SMP client shortcut

So, the affinity changer works on the mac too? Should I throw it on my MacBook Pro? It's folding the smp client.

Would the affinity changer work well on an X2 rig?
If so, could someone post a link where i can download it. I clicked the link posted in the 1/16 thread about it, but it then gives me some page in ukranian.

If you mean an Athlon X2, no. It only benefits Intel-based machines.

I'm not sure if Affinity Changer will work on Mac or if Mac needs it.

To get to the Target textbox, right click startup shortcut and select Properties

I ran it on an X2, and my ppd went from 980 to 1300

So the easiest way to do this on an X2 would be to add "-local -forceasm -advmethods -verbosity 9" to the target?
