Holy POOP!!! I am actually running WUs right now!!!
I am quick like a bunny.........oh.........wait.............that is not what it sounds like!!Quote:
Damn!!!! You beat me to it
Time for a 5M MM! And, time to fire up those VMs again...
I know it has been awhile since there was freehal work and perhaps I dont remember things as well as I used to but didnt freehal used to be a non CPU intensive project? I thought it used mostly memory.
For every WU I am now running, it seems to take an entire CPU to run it.
Something very strange is happening I am running 5 Wus at the same time all at 100% and I have only 2 cores.

Thx Max. I will look into it.
Near the end Freehal added options to run NCI or CI...check your settings on their website. WOOT Freehal is back up! :-bd\:D/<:-P
I see he now has options for 1 WU per host, 1 WU per core ... any idea what the performance hit would be if we went 1 non intensive Wu per core instead of per host?
Ok so it is that, I have 2 cores and I am running 2 Freehall 1 WUProp 1 einstein and 1 primegrid and I have still memory not used. using only half of my memory. I attached a video with the image on the TeaM forum. Sorry I dont know how to do it here. Each core is 2.8 GHz. You can look in there.

Thx again Max. That did it.
Is this the part where I have to call you a god? X_XQuote:
Yay!
It used to be about 30 Megs a task. We used to be able to run 25 or so on a host, so it's not much impact at all to run one per core. The twins should be doing 4 a piece soon.
As for me, I've been sitting at 998k for the longest and am very ready to push that past 1M.
And, it's down at the moment. Be patient, and I'm sure FreeHAL will love us all once more.
Nice! Been waiting for some work, but had detached on all machines as I thought it wouldn't be until June. One of my favorite project ideas for sure.
Although the M$ product works I would really suggest you take a look at VirtualBox by Oracle/Sun Microsystems.
Note: FreeHal may still have a restriction on the number of VMs allowed per machine. IIRC it was limited to 2 VMs per physical system.
Looks like FreeHal site is down I can't upload completed WU's or hit their site. >:P
Let's hope it up soon.
It's up now. I just got some WUs for each cruncher.
In case it is not obvious...if you choose 'cpu intensive, one per core' in your preferences, FreeHal will share each core with another running project instead of using that core for only FreeHal. This will allow you to run 2 WUs per core. This may be your preference or maybe not. It may not be a 50/50 split on core resources. I can't remember if it was this way before the project went on hiatus or not.
Back for me. :)
