Folding Forum

Whatever team you want or create your own, as far as the F@h consortium is concerned you can select any team just by entering its number. All credits for completed WUs remain with the username, team, etc that they were folded under. Some teams have rewards, F@h is not involved in those. If you want ...

Yes, that has been documented multiple times, but people don't notice. The only connection between a username and a passkey is that if you use the same username and email address when requesting a passkey, you will get the same passkey. It is not required that the username and passkey match that sto...

Also an account to connect to the F@h server is only required if you want to remotely control and monitor a system in v8. Without losing in you ca set whatever username, team, and passkey values you want in the web control. As a note, passkeys are qualified as a username and passkey pair. You can us...

Unfortunately that improved performance for AI does nothing for F@h as it is all in low accuracy Neural Engine calculations, INT8, FP8, and so on. The improved communication pathways will help some, but the bulk of the calculations F@h uses are FP32. There is no similar speedup in that, but it is im...

Usernames are not unique or registered. The name Rollo has been used on a total of 5 different teams including the Pande Lab team. So any points earned and credited to a specific username and team will remain with team. The API that looks up your stats through the client initially only looked up by ...

Basically you can't. Unless you use a completely unique username, it is likely someone else has already used it before. For example at least 2-3 others have used variants of the username I use just differing in capitalization. A policy decision made over 20 years ago was that usernames were not regi...

Your assumption is that you will always get the same type of WUs. There may not be any WUs like you were getting a couple weeks ago available to assign to your 4060Ti, so you might be getting WUs from available projects as opposed to getting nothing to work on. Or your system could have had a video ...

I took a look at my hackintosh currently running v8.5.5. It has run various v7 versions in the past, I think just the last versions of v7.5 and 7.6. I haven't pruned the cores directory in a while, 4 different directory trees with the A8 core in them and a couple for A9.

So far all of the Intel processors with iGPUs still have a detectable PCI ID. Same exists for the AMD processors. When or if that will ever change we will find out, but the client detection code still works for them for now. Don't underestimate stability either. F@h has a fairly small group of softw...

Exact core storage location varies by F@h client version. In addition, I recall under the v7 client that could change as they changed the way the cores were stored on the download server. So at one point a few years ago I had several directory trees containing variants of the same folding cores. And...

For several years, the exclusion of Apple Silicon iGPUs from the Folding@home whitelist has been justified by the claim that macOS lacks stable OpenCL support and that the M-series chips cannot handle the high-precision FP64 math required for scientific folding. There is nothing false about the Ope...

Earlier Gen Intel iGPUs did have FP64 support and then for some unknown reason they stopped including it with the Gen12 Intel Xe iGPUs for Tiger Lake and later processors for mobile usage. That also removed FP64 hardware support from the Rocket Lake desktop processors. The higher end Gen9 and Gen11 ...

Okay, can find a single illustration indicating FP64 in the Xe Vector Engine graphic a third of the way through the wccftech writeup. Assuming that graphic is accurate as supplied by Intel, then yes it appears to support FP64 in hardware. The final say will be in the developer notes issued by the so...

Except when they are totally bogus. We have seen some really off numbers for a number of GPUs from the LARS ppd estimates.
