Optimizing for Dual Xeon

Insyder · 04-22-04, 09:35 AM

I just put the latest linux release on my dual xeon box to start crunching on extra cycles. Is it better to run multiple instances with HT or any other settings I should change? Thanks.

I run four instances of folding with my dual xeon box. It seems to crank out the workunits that way.

I assume those are HT Xeons. What kind of prod do you get out of those boxes?

what os are you using? wouldnt it be faster to just run two instead of four?

It is a Dual 2.4 GHZ Xeon with HT. It's on Linux Redhat.
