Smp - Vmware

croni486 · 8 Feb 2007 at 11:52

I've just installed vmware and the smp client.

I've loaded the smp client and it's just sat there for the last 30 mins at 74%.

Looking in task manager the vmware processes isn't using any cpu resources.

Have i missed something? :confused:

what exactly is at 74%? :confused:

that what the CPU usage is showing as in Linux?

edit: and what is using the CPU according to task manager?

The actual smp wu is at 74% complete. I copied the files across from my native linux setup and installed the folder straight into suse run in vmware. I then went through starting the smp client with ./fah5 and it stated that i'd already completed 74% of the unit.

The vmware console in task manager is showing zero cpu usage.

ahh right - you probably need someone much more gifted with Linux than me in that case

Could it be anything to do with access rights?

/wild stab in the dark

Not sure about that i tried starting as root but still no joy.

The GPU client that i had just installed was just EUE all the time(my WU count as gone from 52 to 244 and not a point in sight) so i took the easy way out and went back to my native linux and started again.

have you copied over the registry key (see sticky on machines without internet access) another stab in the linux dark

I tried reinstalling the SMP client again and it starts as usual ,downlaods a new core but stops at 0%.

I saw that earlier today and wondered WTF was going on.

I suppose it's one way of getting my wu count up pretty fast, before you know it i could have been in the thousands.

In reference to the GPU EUE issue it's probably the wrong drivers - ATi's support of folding seemed to drop off at the end of the 6's, I think 6.11 are the last to work (if you can find them) otherwise 6.10 seem to work ok.

Up and running in VMware.

I eventually got both the smp client in vmware running and the gpu client aswell.

I just did a fresh install of everthing, changed the GPU driver to 6.10 and now at 75% in task manger with two smp's and a gpu running.
