Folding Forum

BTW...you can set the CPU affinity in any multiprocessor/multi-core system. It's not just limited to the i7. I have no idea about any other system. Before the i7 my last cpu was an Athlon 2500. :lol: I realize I'm making assumptions, but not one without any merit. Plus I'm not risking anything if i...

Oh yeah. I'm running Core Temp, which monitors and displays each core's temperature in realtime. I also have Task Manager showing each core's usage. When running apps that are NOT locked to any specific core I can watch the temps rise and fall as the usage increases and decreases. When a core's usag...

Can you tell which cores are physical and which cores are logical on the i7? I would think that they'd just show up as 8 cores. If you have a way to tell (explicitly), then that's great. I can't remember how I figured it out (haven't slept in awhile), but I determined that cores 0, 2, 4, and 6 are ...

Nevermind that last part. I just found the wiki flag explanations. -verbosity x Sets the detail level of the output written to screen and to the fahlog.txt. Options are from 1 to 9 (max). The default is 3. Level 9 is helpful for diagnosing problems and helpful when reporting them to the F@h developm...

O.K. Yeah, I was planning on testing this out running two smp cores with the -smp 4 flag on each. The i7 lets you set core affinity to the folding exe's, so I'd run one instance on all four physical cores, and the other on all four logical cores only. That way any performance differential would not ...

How about Win OS's on a home PC? I have an i7, so 8 cores, but no server OS. Just Vista x64 and x86 XP SP3.
Also, just the [-smp 4] flag? No other flags necessary?

Not just that WU, but that whole project it seems.
I got no credit for successfully completed and uploaded Project: 4436 (Run 66, Clone 4, Gen 6)
37 hours wasted on that.
Thankfully it was only one core wasted.
