Thanks so much! I think that is exactly what I needed. I added the cpus v='1' line to my config.xml file and now fahclient is only using 1 core. I will look into the remote access configuration as well as time permits, but it appears the stanza needs to read: <!-- Folding Slots --> <slot id='0' type...

Hi folks, Thanks for the replies. I will try to elaborate on what I am attempting to do. I am looking to control exactly how many cores folding@home leverages on my server. For example, running nmon (system monitoring utility) currently returns that FAH is using 2 cores. Here is also output from top...

Hi folks, I am looking to see if anyone is aware of how we can control the core usage using the fahclient on Linux? For example, if I want to explicitly run fahclient on 1 core, 4 cores, etc. Historically, I have performed this by editing the /etc/fahclient/config.xml file and adding a slot id on a ...

There are commands listed with old versions of the F@H client, in addition to command line options that to my knowledge, no longer function as intended...

Appreciate the feedback, Whompithian! At first glance, I think this may ultimately resolve my issue, if I move to systemd for the service based off your link. My understanding is that /usr/bin/FAHClient is not open source, so I have had some challenges debugging it. Before your post, I made some min...

Hi folks, I recently updated to the latest v7.6.21 of Folding@Home, running on CentOS 8.x. Post-upgrade, running './FAHClient status' and './FAHClient stop' do not function. After some investigation, it appears the PID file defined in the logic is not being created on startup of FAH (--pid-file=/var...
