6.23/windows deadline extended Feb 2,2009 to July 4, 2009

[kasson]

We have posted a new drop-in replacement executable of 6.23r1 with the deadline extended to July 4, 2009. No other changes. As both Feb 2 and July 4 are several months off, no urgent need to upgrade.

Presumably then, the move of the WinSMP out of beta is expected to be quite sometime off? (I guess this is a rhetorical question, as I know you don't post timescales!)

I have to say, Ive been very pleased with the newer WinSMP and LinuxSMP (and GPU2 clients), as I've had much, much fewer problems - so it looks like the work going on in the background is paying off (great work ) .... just need a native LinuxGPU2 client now ....

Lost a system to a bad hard drive. New drive, clean install and running 6.22b2 Mpich.
Will the 6.23r1 drop in this client or do I need to install the 6.23b first?

[John Naylor]

You should be able to drop this executable in without needing to go via the original 6.23 executable.

[alpha754293]

is this a DeinoMPI or MPICH(2) SMP client?

[kasson]

It should work with either; you just need to give it the appropriate flags (-smp -deino for deino; just -smp for mpich).

I will test it out once this WU either finishes or bombs out (with error code: 0x7b.)

(I don't suppose that those bugs that have been reported have a BugID attached to it?)

[alpha754293]

It works as a drop in replacement just fine.

Gentlemen,

I tried start the F@H in my son's machine today Feb, 02. The program's window just open and closed. Nothing appears in the F@Hlog. Reinstall from scratch and no changes in the scenario. I am using MPICH version.

Any help will be appreciated.

Best Regards, Fernando.

@Fernando: Your client expired today. Follow the link kasson has posted, download the new executable, and replace your existing executable.

[Fernando_Celio]

OK, DanGe.

I just downloaded the program from Download Page. That was my mistake.

Please, Kasson, correct the link on the Download Page from Stanford.

Thanks.

Best Regards, Fernando.

[DocJonz]

Please can some post the correct link to the latest .exe, as the one at the start of the thread fails .....

[kasson]

Can you be more specific with how it fails? The file is
http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/folding ... 32-x86.exe
Which looks like the same URL to me (unless I'm missing a typo)

[MESeidel]

After I put in the new .exe today it wont go further with the current WU.
CPU load is at 100% but nothing happens (stopped after 2 hours, while normally a step is aroung 15min).

Should I clear the work folder and go on?
I'm not hunting for points with this rig but zero progress sucks^^
