Folding Forum

Yes, OpenCL is available, but so far there have been no plans to develop a GPU folding core for the macOS to do GPU folding. Among other issues besides concerns over the deprecated status of OpenCL is that the current methods used by the folding client to detect a GPU do not work. The GPU section of...

It has been a requested feature to be built into the client since the v7 days. But it is so far down the priority list for the one paid developer that I doubt it will ever be included. However the API for the v7 client was published, various people did create add-ons or scripts to do scheduling. The...

2. open Task Manager, navigate to the tab "Details", find FahCore_a8.exe or FahCore_a9.exe, right click on it, select "Set affinity" and make sure that only the first 6 CPUs are checked (from CPU0 to CPU5) Except Windows doesn't necessarily number the P-cores in that order. From...

The GT 1030 was sold using either a Kepler GPU chip or more often a Pascal chip. In either case the card was about the bare minimum to successfully process GPU WUs, but there were not always projects small enough to be assigned to them. In the case of cards based on the Kepler chip, those are an old...

No, it is just a preference, not a setting that will get you WUs only from certain projects. If there are no suitable WUs for your system that meets that preference setting, you will be assigned a WU from another project that can be processed on your Raspberry Pi. Checking the list of active project...

Same file name, but the first full link given in the OP - https://foldingathome.org/start-folding ... _arm64.deb - goes to a page that doesn't exist. The download links on the Start Folding page points to download.foldingathome.org locations for the files.

A new Beta release is available v8.5.5 - https://foldingathome.org/beta Bug reports for the client - https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues Bug reports for the web control - https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-web-client-bastet/issues v8.4 Installation Guide - https://foldingatho...

Generally about the best stress test for F@h is F@h. The ones you mention pretty much will not test your video card the same. Updates for FAHBench have been requested, but the person who developed it is no longer around as far as I know. No one else has picked it up so far except for some unofficial...

I take it you are volunteering to update the installation guide? Or are you expecting someone else to do it? The reality is that much of the support is done by or was done by volunteers. The paid developer did include writing up a guide for v8 installs. It could be improved, but their concentration ...

Why, because the developer who wrote the guide hasn't gone back in to document the one exception that shouldn't be needed. The client was programmed to MS's guidelines to follow and work with shutdown. But Windows Shutdown still ignores the wait from the client and just keeps on going and shuts down...

In my experience a CPU WU usually takes under 30 seconds to pause. That includes writing out a checkpoint. GPU folding cores are a bit different. They have processing loops interfacing with the video driver that can only be interrupted at certain points. So give them a minute or so. For an example o...

From what i understand the gpu's are loaded up and run a WU, and then at the end the results downloads back to the client and saved to the hard disk, before being uploaded from the computer to the wu server. I appreciate thats a very simple block diagram breakdown, and its likely far more complex t...

I am half wondering if macOS 26 is using a newer version of some database than is used by the client installer code. That could cause a problem reading that.

Some vendor said that the UPS has a battery icon on Windows, which will be substituted if I install the software. Does that mean it works as I need? Is it sufficient or should I check more? That should be sufficient. First try and see if the battery status shows up in the client by testing to see i...

Forget the script. As long as you use an USB connected UPS that follows the USB standards for HID devices connected to the system you will know whether or not the power is "out". Your router can also be connected to an UPS, and that is actually standard for FIOS connections and cable route...
