Foldit allows players to run multiple clients at the same time. With multiple clients, players can work on more than one puzzle at same time, or pursue different solutions to one puzzle. With many newer PCs, it's possible to run more than one foldit client at nearly full speed. This is because most microprocessors are actually multiprocessors. Current desktop systems may have 8 independent processors or CPUs (central processing units), and many laptops have 4 CPUs. These can be "logical processors" (you can have only one processor with 2 cores and still 4 logical processors or CPUs).

  • Foldit allows players to run multiple clients at the same time. With multiple clients, players can work on more than one puzzle at same time, or pursue different solutions to one puzzle. With many newer PCs, it's possible to run more than one foldit client at nearly full speed. This is because most microprocessors are actually multiprocessors. Current desktop systems may have 8 independent processors or CPUs (central processing units), and many laptops have 4 CPUs. These can be "logical processors" (you can have only one processor with 2 cores and still 4 logical processors or CPUs). Each foldit client does most of its work in a single "thread", which can use up to 100% of one CPU (of more than 100% on Mac and other Unix-based OSs, don't worry, it's normal). So running one foldit client on an 8-CPU desktop can use only a little more than 1/8 of processing power available. This page describes one way to set up multiple clients on a single Windows PC. The basic concepts applies to the Linux and Mac environments as well, especially since the underlying hardware is now more or less the same.
