Hey!

Today I've just started to fold. I'm having problems getting the UPDATE_CORE for this, though, any help?

Log:

Code: Select all

19:38:54:WU01:FS02:Downloading core from http://web.stanford.edu/~pande/Linux/x86/NVIDIA/Fermi/Core_17.fah

Welcome to the folding@home support forum cbagdon.

The last time I checked there was no 32 bit Linux version of Core_17 and I have seen no change to that ... i.e. the o/s must be 64 bit for native GPU folding on Linux at this time.

From http://folding.stanford.edu/home/guide/ ... ide/#ntoc4
Folding on NV GPUs is currently limited to 64 bit distros ...
FYI: The same requirement exists for ATI GPUs on Linux.
