Re: CPU or GPU Client?
Sounds more like theres an issue where they're getting errors and submitting the work unit incomplete repeatedly...
Anyhow I'm on a P4 3.2Ghz with HT which for whatever reason misrepresents itself as a Pentium D... or I'm misunderstanding something *shrug* I'm about to upgrade the video card to a PCI-e card [9600GSO or 8800GT] thanks to the low power requirement and low cost of the cards it should be a rather cheap upgrade and hopefully I'll be looking at ~3000 ppd instead of the current max 600ppd I'm getting .

Thank you, Bruce. I read carefully and understand the implications of the rest of your post. And as for the questions regarding the affinity thing... anyone? I could, of course, just do a bit of trial-and-error runs. I tried setting affinities for a uniproc client and a gpu client yesterday. Now I am leaving them with affinities to both cores - and I also run two uniproc clients instead of one. I am getting more PPD this way.bruce wrote:. . . oh, and I don't know the answer to either of you questions.

If you disable the affinity lock, the client will pick any free CPU core. Leave to no if you want the client to be locked to a CPU core.
