Folding Forum

The previous script worked for me. Just got a 2014 2.6Ghx mac Mini running Monterey and couldn't figure out why it was so for FAH client to talk to FAHControl either network of locally. The earlier set of commands looks to have done the job. many thanks calxalot

Thanks Joe, how do you exclude the HT threads . Do you simply halve the number of cores defined in the slot , slider set to Light or is there some better way

Thanks

Thanks Paul, most interesting. In my case these mac servers are running only for FAH, and are headless , or at least as headless as I can make a Mac (no monitor attached. So FAH is not really competing with much other resource beyond the background processes of OSX, and iCloud sync is disabled . I h...

Thanks PaulTV, looks like that did it. I set the slot value to 8 rather than -1 , and , after it got a new WU, its displaying both top and process manager info as a 700+ percentage i.e FAH_core is running at 766% while under observation. Odd that on two apparently identical machines , one found 8 co...

Ah, thanks Paul, I'll leave it set and see what happens

many thanks. I tried setting the slot value to 8 explicitly, restarted but no difference. I'm actually starting to think its some weird problem with reporting on this particular mac. Via Activity Monitor or the top command ( then ocpu - order by cpu) it never exceeds 700%. However if in process mana...

Hi, I am running Fold at home 7.6.21 on a couple of 8 core Mac pro 5,1 machines running High Sierra. In FAH Control it reports that 8 cores are present, but on one machine when I look at cpu usage using top running in a shell FAHCore it never exceeds 700% cpu utilisation ? My belief was that on mult...

Thank you Jim.

many thanks Bob, I'll investigate 1650's and quieter examples.

Thank you, that's most helpful. You suggest that the my motherboard may be unable to support these cards anyway, which is worth knowing. it's this model

Hi and thank you for having me. I've been folding on Apple mac minis for some years, which is fairly simple to set up. I dusted off an old AS-Rock 775-based Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz PC that had been used for gaming a long time ago. I'd like to use it as a headless folding rig if I can, ...
