I got it running also and it shaved off a little bit of time.
I compiled it on another machine though, since I couldn't do it within the Linuxforge image.
I think you can still run the 32 bit version of FAH, but I don't think you can run SMP with it.
I'm not sure if you can update/upgrade to 64 bit without reinstalling. One of our Linux experts will need to chime in on that....
I'm not sure, but that's been the norm for me. On the couple of machines I have it running on, it fluctuates between 90%-98% load. It's never fully 100% all the time, unlike folding natively.
I got a couple of 6901s at first, but 6903s after. It's running on a 16 and 24 thread machine. No overclocking, so your 980x machine might be faster.....
I had a machine unable to get work for about 7 hours yesteday. I'm not sure if it's related to Virtual Box somehow though....I just started using it. The machine was running bigadv(when available) in Windows.
I changed the machine id and it grabbed a work unit right away.
I noticed...
It's broken...I've been able to create them, but it was hit and miss. Of the ones that got created, none were able to get a public IP.
This was all on AZ2 though....I already had working instances on AZ1. I haven't tried to terminate and recreate them on AZ1, since I figured I might not be...
I had the same error...I opened up a trouble ticket with them. Support said they would email when it's resolved.
I was able to make smaller instances, just not the 8 core one.
Running Windows, the R710 should be capable of about 30k ppd on average with SMP and almost 40k with bigadv(when they are available). I have an R410 running, with those same processors.
