'Nother stoopid Linux Seti question

[OhioDude]

RedHat Linux 7.2 SMP - There is no -cpu switch on the Linux client. Is it smart enough to know that it should load the second process into a different processor?

 

[Poof]

I'm not sure about the newer kernels, but previous SMP kernels didn't have an "affinity" option.

I knew you'd be the first one to jump on that question, Poof.

So I've got a nice little dualie running Linux that I can only run one S@H client on?

I just run them in 2 separate directories... works great...

When I do a "top" I see 2 seti processes chewing up 99% of the CPU each

If you "nice" them, you can't even tell they are there

If you are running the SMP kernel then it should be multi-threading the processor requests to all CPUs available automatically from what I understand. Definitely you want multiple directories for the clients (1 per CPU) just to keep the "sah" files separate.
