GPU client help

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 03:06

Hi all

Just tried to set folding up on my 8800GTS.

I downloaded the V6 Beta GPU2 6.12 beta8, it installed fine, and when i try to run it, i get this error:

I've got the latest Nvidia drivers too.

Any ideas? I had a search for the error message, and the file, but none of the google results are anything to do with FAH

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 03:19

Thanks. Also, what SMP client is the one to use? I see people recommend the v5 5.91 release, but i cant find it anywhere!

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 12:34

Thanks, i'll try doing the drivers again.

Also, anyone know where i can download the 5.91 SMP client?

Cheers!

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 15:36

I'm having no luck at all!

I'll try reinstalling the SMP client too, thanks.

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 22:38

Hey,

I'm using the 175.19 drivers, pretty sure they are the current release ones. I've got the 175.16 drivers so i might try those.

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 22:47

Doh! Thanks for your help mate!

I'll report back about the SMP client too!

benjo · 29 Jul 2008 at 23:40

Ok, well the GPU is folding away

Fahmon says about 5000ppd... that sound about right?

Still having trouble with the SMP client. I downloaded the "6.22 beta2 for MPICH (32-bit or 64-bit)" version.

The description says "Must run with -smp for smp mode". I assume this is in the config part of the client? It asked for additional parameters and i put in -smp. But i'm not getting SMP WU's

The older 5.91 SMP client was a lot easier, does anyone have a link for it anywhere?

benjo · 30 Jul 2008 at 00:06

If by having the -smp on the shortcut, will it not run in SMP mode if it's set as a service when the computer boots up? As it'll only be in SMP mode when it's ran through the shortcut?

edit: Just tried it, had to delete the work folder to so that it started a new WU, but it's doing SMP now

benjo · 30 Jul 2008 at 00:59

Thanks, i'll give it a try

I guess the server is down or something? Will i lose this WU?
