Question : Do F@H and Seti like each other?

[gregor7777]

I'm currently a member of Rage3d's F@H team but I'm willing to give them only 50% of my CPU time and let Seti for AT have the other half but not if they won't play nice.

Any advice from the gallery?

Thanks

i tried, but seti always takes 96-99 % of cpu (with seti driver)!
anyone has an idea?

I'm not aware of any easy way the throttle the CPU such that each client only gets 50% of the power; of course if a machine in question were dual-cpu then you could just configure the SETI client to run on CPU2 via the cmdline parameter for the CLI client, and let F@H run on CPU1.

Yeah... SETI is sortof a hog... But if you're running 2K or XP Pro, in the past, I've been able to run SETI at "low" and F@H at "normal" or sometimes "above normal" (assuming a single CPU) and could get F@H to use a bit more processor time. You'd have to play with it though...

Hmmmm, actually the question arose because I see that in the F@H client one can give whatever percentage of the CPU to the client they wish with a slider bar. There is also the priority option but I like knowing who gets what.

Hmmm.....thanks for the help guys....I'll keep my ears open.

Um.. what slider bar are you talking about? What version of the F@H client are you using? 😕

Version 3.01, built June 14th.

One the advanced tab there is a slider bar for what % you want to use of your CPU.

I believe that's the new FAH3 client which is a combined G@H + F@H client. Haven't had chance to try it yet... 🙂

Ah... that explains a bunch - I'm using 2.19.. no such slider bar feature. 😉

Well, I'll wait until the current unit finishes and then upgrade. 🙂
