Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

but the GPU one comes up with an error saying nvcuda.dll is missing from your computer.

I don't know how to fix that either . EDIT"""""""""""""""Just updated drives and it all works

There is alot of talk about this SMP client but I have now idea how to use it, I guess I will read about it today and try to figure it out.

It can be a pain...it took me weeks to run it properly:o Once you figure it out...CPU PPD running normal is about 200-400. Running SMP it jumps to 1800-200 PPD.

I used parts of this guide and asked some questions on here and overclock.net.

bomberboysk also helped me a few times:good:

Does the default CPU client support quad core CPUs?

Yes it will use all 4 cores...just not as much as SMP. When I run the default client the cores will range from about 20% to 60% on all 4 cores.

SMP runs them all at 100% and the work units are processed more efficiently.

I am now running the cpu and gpu client together. Each core is ranging from 40-80% usage and my temps stay below 35c. I am happy and leaving for work so FOLD ON 955be
 
That's a good question...that guide is from 2006. Maybe things changed in time?

All I know is that it runs on all 4 of my cores when I run it. The usage stays low but it does.

Here is an older screen shot using a normal CPU client.

Alright, I want to fold on my parents' computer which is fine, but I want to be able to monitor it from my apartment...which is about 150 miles away, on my home computers i use fahmon but I don't think that will work for this, any one have any ideas?
 
Can someone explain how to install the SMP client? I'm not really understanding the part about the creating a store and stuff and it's just not really working. Thanks.
 
A voltage bump and a clock bump will really get it Folding...mine runs about 9,000 PPD. On the 787 point work units it runs about 8,00 to 8,500 PPD. I am not sure what voltage tools work with XFX cards.

I love the look of XFX products...might consider them on my next build:)

Choke on my dust...Ha! :D

That's a serious amount of points! :eek:

I did a quick overclock from the Nvidia control panel. Now I'm at about 8,600 PPD. The XFX cards are great looking. I need to get my old 9600 GT folding... badly.

Hey Ethan!

Are you running the SMP client on your CPU? You should be getting more points from your processor--more in the 1500-2500 range (my 2.53Ghz C2D gets around 2000 at full load).
 
I think after a year break I will get started again, do these clients support multi core processors? (it seems only one core is being utilized)

username is Quentin(ETSA) btw

It seems like it is not working, or doing anything, I d/l the tray icon install package...
