Folding Forum

Yes, the number of threads was the issue, I was on 7 threads, I got the WU as soon as I got down to 4 threads.
Thank you very much for your detailed answer.

well, I just got a WU, not sure from where though.

The server status page shows that only 171.64.65.124 and 171.64.65.157 have SMP units available but they are in "Reject"... if it is not intended, then you might want to check these 2 servers.

I have restarted Folding immediately after changing the parameter.

Thanks for the link.

Update: the PPD starts increasing, apparently this WU is just a lot more sensible than the others to the presence of other running processes.

Thanks for your time and pieces of advice.

I just swiched to SMP:6 and I don't see any change after about half an hour. The process using about 10-12% of the CPU is named "WmiPrvSE.exe", is described as "WMI Provider Host" and is used by the SYSTEM. As I swiched to SMP:6, there is also a virtual process "System Idle ...

When I look at the task manager, there FahCore_a3.exe representing 80 to 90% of the load, the rest is a lot ot "small" processes but none of them is going higher than 2% (they are mostly so inexpensive that their load is marked as 0%). Sincel then, I think Windows may be configured to assi...

Thanks, but I don't think that can be the source of my problem: I am sometimes running a program doing very intensive usage of only one core (I am not using it actually) and even when this program is running, the PPD is not going that low. The only software running actually are F@H, Thunderbird and ...

Here is the log (only the parts concerning the slot and WU, and after resuming from a Windows hibernation): 03:11:46:WU02:FS01:Starting 03:11:47:WU02:FS01:Running FahCore: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient/FAHCoreWrapper.exe" C:/Users/Christophe/AppData/Roaming/FAHClient/cores/www.stanford...

The GPU is a NVidia Quadro 1000M.

The laptop is only on AC (I stop F@H when I have to use the battery, what happens very rarely).

Hello, I am folding the WU 10125 (53, 0, 120) almost continuously since yesterday and the PPD is ridiculously low as compared to what it is usually (about 220 PPD when I am using a Web browser, about 280 PPD when I am not using the computer, whereas the PPD is usually higher than 5000 for this slot)...
