Bigadv Core A5 Coming Soon Including Linux; Client Upgrade Req'd [6.34 Binaries Up ]

[Charloz24]

I need some sucess story of Vmware folding with sandy bridge processoir. Can't find the way to use 8 threads, VMware only showing 4 cores max.. and yes I have the 3.0.0 (the one I was using back in my i7 days)

Open the vmx file and set numvcpus = "8" then add the following to the end of the vmx file. Should then work with Vmplayer 3.0. Works on a 920 but I don't know about Sandy so YMMV.

priority.ungrabbed = "idle"
priority.grabbed = "idle"
processor0.use = "TRUE"
processor1.use = "TRUE"
processor2.use = "TRUE"
processor3.use = "TRUE"
processor4.use = "TRUE"
processor5.use = "TRUE"
processor6.use = "TRUE"
processor7.use = "TRUE"

Right on thanks a lot!

Ok it worked and now it's @ 3% and my 2600k is doing 53 000 ppd (Vmware Linux Ubuntu 64 bits) instead of 44 000 ppd (windows), not bad

Got linux up and running on one of my SR-2s as I pull a P6701 for the first time in like a month.

Heh wish I could make full use of the 970. Good to see this is helping a few folks get some extra PPD!

i just start folding with the Linuxrouter image with my I880...Already have a P6901 projet!

According to musky at *********, there is virtually no difference folding on an SR-2 with Linux compared to Windows.

Kind of disappointing but will be saving me a lot of trouble I guess.

I do have a horrible 1hr 4 mins time frame by running the VMplayer + the linux router image updated with the new fa6.

Ok one other thing I can't seem to find is where I find the adress where the fah log is located for a vmware linux folding? (for HFM.net) Since I not used a folding image, it's not telling me where log is located???
