just have a some questions

Ford Freak · 11-03-2006, 11:20 PM

I have an Opteron 180. Is it possible to get F@H to run 100% on one core? I set the slider to 100% but it is only using about 50%. I would like to have it run 100% on one core so the other will be free for other stuff.

Are there any other tweaks to use for a dual core AMD? I would like to get as much out of it as possible.

If you are using the Windows Gui client for folding, one of tabs should have a CPU utilization option, which you set to 100%.

If you are using the text console, then you create a shortcut somewhere, add a -configonly in the target field at the end,
execute the shortcut, and there will be an option to set CPU utilization 100%.

I can't get this thing to run 2 at once. I have 2 directories under program files. What do I need to do to get 2 GUI running at once? I am using version 5.03.

You will not be able to run 2 GUI clients at the same time as it's a limitation with the GUI client. Only the text console will allow you to run more than one simultaneously. Follow these instructions to get 2 text consoles folding simultaneously:

Create 2 folders for each console on your PC, such as FAH1 and FAH2, copy the FAH502-Console.exe file to each folder, create a shortcut for each FAH502-Console on your desktop, call them FAH1 and FAH2, right-click on the shortcut, add under the target field at the end without the quotes "-local", and save the changes. Do this also for the other console. Run FAH1, setup the username & team number as prompted, setup the other options as requested. If you have more than 512MB or more memory, you can enable large work units so that your machine can fold work units worth a lot of points. Run FAH2 and setup the options again like you did with FAH1.

Let me know if the above instructions work for you.

That works. I didn't notice the console version when I downloaded the 5.03. There is one question about about the console version though. How do I find out what the estimated time and date of completion is?

Download and run EMIII-Electron Microscope here:
http://www.em-dc.com/

This software will tell you how much time each console has left, what frame it is on, and how points the protein is worth once it is completed.

Glad you are folding 2 proteins simultaneously.

BTW, glad to have you folding for abxzone.
