Did you set affinity for each VM their own cores, say 0 and 1 for your first one and 2 and 3 for the second. They will otherwise interfere with each other.

Do they have the same project #'s as that will change the times.

Yes I set the affinity's different, the first instance has the affinity set to core 2 and 3, and the second instance has the affinity set to core 0 and 1. I am going to give it a day or two to see how my folding scores are, then I will reassess if it is really affecting everything to have both CMP's running.

According to all that I know about the various cores you should get around 2 to 4K PPD depending on the cores, if you have 2 a1's going then expect 2K PPD and the a2's will give you a max of 4K PPD plus whatever your GPU does which should not be affected as it only uses some %3 CPU.

So are you saying that depending on what cores I get it may not be to my advantage to run both VM as I could get up to 4K with one and a max of 4K with two?

Nope, 1 VM will give you 1 to 2K PPD and one just doubles that for 2 VMs. Those are the min-max PPD and of course you will land somewheres in between depending on the mix of cores you get. Same goes for the GPU, everybody wants the 353's but the 511's come into play too. BTW, I'm curious as to what project those 5min/% are coming from as I haven't seen that yet.

That one has finished and I can't scroll back that far, how do I check to see what it was?

Never mind, I found it, it was project 2653 (run 5, clone 30, Gen 123)

That's an a2 core 1760 points. I've never seen one fold that fast! :shocked: The a2's I've had were all around 14 min./% Geez man at 5min/frame that's like 6.3hrs.! Which translates to some 7K PPD :slackjaw:

It wasn't folding that fast the whole time though, that was only part of the time.
