Folding for Arch Linux

iBertus · 2010-01-23 08:20:50

I've recently rebuilt my skulltrail rig to contain dual quad-core Xeon's at 2.8Ghz each and a pair of GeForce GTX295 cards, all liquid cooled. I'm looking to turn some of my unused CPU/GPU cycles into useful work and thought that folding would be a good start. I heard once that Arch Linux had a team but I'm new to folding@home and need a starting point. Any pointers would be helpful... Thanks.

F@H also has a long thread here with lots of information. Start about page 14 or 15 for information on getting those GTX295 cards going on WINE. Oh yes, welcome to the Arch Folding @ Home team.

Thanks guys! I'll post back as soon as I've gotten arch installed. Currently having an issue with the gfx card cooling loop and may need to place yet another order to FrozenCPU.

So.. err, what do you do that requires that kind of computing power? Just curious.

Folding@home, obviously.

Unused CPU cycles are inferior and must be exterminated!
