Hello everyone, I'm about to hit 1000 WU and I have mainly been using my PS3 for the past few years. I just installed fah6 on my workstation and was wondering what type of work it should be doing given it's specs. I can dedicate 4-6 cores (Thuban) depending on time of day (each at 3.2Ghz) and I have 16GB RAM.
Is there any particular way I should be running the client or WU that are suited to this machine. Everything seems to run smooth even running the client as I work. The only problem I;ve encountered was stopping the client (Ctrl-C) and restarting it to switch the number of cores (6 down to 4). This resulted in a loss of a WU. I may have stopped it while it was writing a checkpoint or perhaps lowering the cores caused it to fail.
Also I am seeing a lot of mention on -bigadv, is my system capable of such WUs?
Any suggestions to ensure smooth operations form here on. Thanks for any advice.
Also I have an ATI V4800 GPU and was wondering if I could put it to use as well. I've read some guides about setting up WINE to run the windows GPU client and was wondering if it was worth it.
