Ok, I got it, added a second client , this time to operate on cpu, and I allocated 2 cores. Total cpu usage jumped to around 76-78%. V7 is pretty easy to use, is just that I was getting it wrong, i was giving name cpu when you really need to name smp, allocate the cores you want and is done.

After folding a few days on 2 cores, apparently this gives me 484PPD with the cpu in my system, no ovc applied, started to destabilize the system so I stopped it completely. Restarted it 12 hours later and very fast destabilized the system again so i stopped it for good now. Using the new Core 16 client, so i am folding on GPU alone.

How does one configure to -bigadv with this beta? I had a power outage so updated to this but but cannot see where to enter flags.

Thanks chuck.

Now I need to remember what normal big adv wu project numbers are to make sure I'm folding big adv.

You need to have a passkey and have folded 10 normal SMP units (with an 80% success rate) prior to adding the -bigadv flag and have access to the bonus. Your username shows 0 units folded for quite a while (unless you changed username).

Yeah I sitll have my passkey and I have to fold 10 normal before I can fold big adv again, thought it lasted forever. I was wondering if i should clear the flag out or if A3s are the normal SMPs?

This is my current work unit

I don't think there is an expiry on the bonus.

Indeed, it is assigned to the username with no time limit.

You forget then I used to VMware Fold last fall/winter time and was doing big adv wu so that should be a big adv wu?
