Folding@Home Performance

[Deleted member 16178]

So I setup the Folding@Home console to run on my server. After kicking it off, the CPU never goes beyond 50%. This is a quad-core Q9450 with 8GB of RAM and very fast storage. How can I optimize the F@H client to utilize the entire CPU?

Are you running SMP?

If not, run fah -configonly and set the client "Acceptable size of work assignment" to "big", then run with "fah.exe -smp"
