IMPORTANT FOR BIGADV USERS: -bigadv workunits now require the 6.29 Linux SMP client

[Zero82z]

If you're using an older version of Linuxrouter's VM or a native Linux install with an older client version, you must now upgrade to version 6.29 if you want to keep running -bigadv units. Here is the download link: http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...6.29-Linux.tgz

Run this in linuxrouter's VM:

wget http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/FAH6.29-Linux.tgz
mkdir old
cp fah6 mpiexec old
tar xzf FAH6.29-Linux.tgz

I had issues though, just found it easier to upgrade to version 1.1 of his VM.

+1. I would just use that version of the vm. There are some improvements too, other than 6.29.

900PPD? Maybe you got a A1 WU or something...

Did you try dropping in the 6.29, or using a whole new vmware image? There is a config page you enter on 1.1 where you select the -smp 8 flag.

It has nothing to do with SMP2. It was announced back when 6.29 was first released that it will become mandatory for running -bigadv units, because there were some critical fixes in the new client version. They've just put that into effect now.
