Folding Forum

I do not think it is possible to properly run FAH on CentOS7, or any EL7 for that matter. Why? EL (Enterprise Linux) systems are designed to be slow to upgrade (actually, some things will never be upgraded within a major point release; bugs are fixed by backporting). As I described here: https://nei...

Wow, 3-months have gone by and no one has been able to fix this little FUBAR! Yikes!

I've been getting this error message "WARNING:WU00:FS00:Failed to get assignment from 'assign-GPU.stanford.edu:80': Empty work server assignment" for all my AMD GPU platforms for a few days now (these are all HD-6xxx cards). Since all my Nvidea systems continue to fold, I am now wondering ...

I sent a PM to neilrieck Sorry for the long delay; I should have responded sooner. Yep, my stuff is hosted at www3.sympatico.ca (owned and operated by Bell Canada) and we now know that hundreds of accounts were hacked (someone dropped a file tiled "default.php" into every directory; suppo...

Team, From yours stats reports, I noticed that "Active CPUs" is approximately half of what it was a year ago. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats CPUs http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats2 Cores 1) I wonder how much of this drop was due to Sony di...

Hey, thanks for the tip (it worked). I don't know why I was sent that WU (stamped Nov-19) so it looks like this machine didn't do any folding for the past three days. Oh well

Team, I've got an NVIDIA GT560 on Windows-XP which just decided to stop folding. The error message reads: 13:38:31:Trying to access database... 13:38:31:Successfully acquired database lock 13:38:31:Enabled folding slot 00: READY gpu:0:"GF114 [GeForce GTX 560]" 13:38:31:WU00:FS00:Downloadin...

FYI,

FAH is the featured article today (Nov 1) on Wikipedia

Okay so this has nothing to do with protein folding but it does have a lot to do with low level biology. Enjoy.

As others have already mentioned, AMD has dropped OpenCL support for all platforms below Windows-Vista SP2. http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK ... quirements Since I still have some working Windows-XP systems, I just purchased two nVidea cards (which still support CUDA) http://developer.nvidia....

If you are certain your GPU should support OpenCL, but are unsure if a driver upgrade removed OpenCL support, then test your GPU subsystem with GPU-Z which is available here:

I just stumbled onto this article over at TR:

Starting with a database of all known structural features in proteins, researchers have performed a network analysis based on their similarities. The surprising result is that almost every protein we know of is related to the rest by seven degrees of separation. Click the next link to read the full ...
