Welcome to the team!

 

I have folding in various VM solution including Hyper-V and Sun VirtualBox. The only reason to do this, if you have a very large system running various VM's already. But, depending on the VM solution, you only get access to virtual cores and such, so performance can tank a bit. If you are thinking just running multiple VM's all folding, then no, that doesn't work, from a performance perspective. Just fold on the entire unit. Either Windows, if also doing GPU, or ubuntu...

 

What is the situation and perhaps I can help more.

So just switched teams to LinusTechTips, My old team kinda died out so I decided to switch to an active team. Should be hopefully bringing in at least 100K ppd if I get good WU's. Really starting to get into folding again, I see a 4p rig in my future :)

 

I am currently folding 24/7 with the following specs:

  • i7-3930k @5GHZ
  • EVGA GTX680 ftw+ 4GB
  • Asus R4E
  • running on windows server 2012 datacenter.

 

Quick question, has anyone experimented folding on VM's? it would allow you to run multiple instances at once but would any benefits be seen considering the performance hit of running multiple OS's

 

anyway glad to be part of the team,

Welcome to the LTT Folding Team! 

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014
