Folding Forum

Ya something is defiantly wrong here. I left my machine on today folding while i was at the shop setting up and learning ILO2/3/4 on these servers, came home and seen my pc was pushing 67k+ PPD. Its a nice pc and all but i would think that the 24 core server would blow this i7 out of the water. Im g...

what am i doing wrong here? 80% for a total of 44k DDP... still seems very low for 24 cores...

The reason im running windows server 2012 is so that i can learn and get used to all the changes. I own decent sized computer, tablet, smartphone repair shop so i need to learn as much as i can without stepping in a classroom. Bad part is most all medium sized businesses are only running windows ser...

The proliant client is at 35463 PPD now and all cores are maxed out @ 100%. i still feel like running a linux VM box would make this faster. I will look around today and see what i can find.

Another Question that comes to mind; Can i link all 4 servers to the same project to complete them faster?

Ok the Server is up and running !! :) Im interested in bigadv, i think this proliant should work great for that. Here are the spec's: Hp Poliant DL858 G6 CPU : 4 x 6core AMD Opterton 8431 CPUID : Family 16 Model 8 Stepping 0 RAM : 32gb (not sure speed) Os : Win Server 2012 Standard Right now the cli...

Thank you Panther. I have just setup a passkey, i didnt even know if that was important.

Without knowing the specifics of the chips, you do not even know if it will even come close to completing bigadv's in time.

What dose that mean?

- Update - So i only have 3 of the 5 poweredge servers up each with 2 x duel core xeons with 8gb ram running F@H v7.3.6 @100%. Also have my main poweredge 2x Quad xeon running @ 30%. The other 2 units have issues to im going to replace it with a proliant with 4x 6 core optron's with 32gb ram :). I h...

What i like about the idea of using VMware is i can pause the VMbox when playing with the servers. I can also save their state when i restart and allocate the power easier. A few years back when i was big into overclocking i found out about F@H i was running a VMware with a pre 4 core setup i got fr...

I really want to use Server 2012 so i can play with them while they are Folding. I have very little linux knowledge and would take more time than i have to setup. I will be loading them today and setting up remote access to each. So i guess i should ask what the best way to fold with them in windows...

I would like to start off with saying thank you for taking the time to read this post, especially if you have some advise for me. What i have is a 5 poweredge 2950 given to me working with a sick cabinet setup for this project. I want to make sure we can get the most out of them if im going to pay t...
