Folding Forum

The WU size option also only applied to the uniprocessor projects. All SMP WU's were considered "Big" at the time SMP projects became available, and the assignment and work servers were set to assume that. There are some larger projects that have a larger minimum core count requirement, t...

Thank you for that helpful information, 7im. I understand what you're saying about that - so I presume the WUs downloaded aren't 'choosable' by some kind of preference? I was only curious about that anyway - it's no biggie. And thank you for letting me know about when the client downloads the WUs. D...

Hi This might sound a strange question but is there any way to configure folding@home to only download (or mostly download) smaller sized WUs? Only for the most part, most WUs I receive are between 2 and 5 days which for me is rather large considering I only run on one computer and it's not always o...

Panther, thank you very much. Followed your instructions and all's good. And yes you assumed rightly, I'm not now folding on GPU. Bruce thank YOU too. I can understand what you're saying now and apologies for not having done so before. My mistake. Ok all's good now. I'll leave you guys in peace - at...

Hi guys. Quick update - after trying using FULL and seemingly working ok, I then started getting a couple of other 'problems' in the work queue despite the fact the closing date of the WU was 19th May but from what you've told me, this can happen quite normally if others have got theirs in quicker/e...

Thanks bruce, I've done the finish thing on the gpu slot so I'll wait for it to say finished and then do as you say, although it's still idle at the moment despite the fact I've had it running most of the evening, certainly since 4pm without me being on the computer and it's now almost 2am the next ...

Ok panther, here's the rest of the log you asked me for just now - 14:38:02:Trying to access database... 14:38:02:Successfully acquired database lock 14:38:02:Enabled folding slot 00: PAUSED gpu:0:G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (waiting for idle) 14:38:02:Enabled folding slot 01: READY cpu:1 14:38:02:WU01:FS...

Hi Panther. Thank you again for your reply. Found it most interesting and enlightening too. I have just restarted the client after having it off for a while so I could watch some streaming video and converting some video files and needed the extra RAM so in a moment, I'll post what's come up since t...

Hi P5. Thank you. Yes I see what you mean. I was clicking in the wrong place before, the Work Queue window as you said. However there are only 2 slots in the folding slot window - the gpu (paused: waiting for idle) and the 01 slot currently working on cpu: 1 normally. Below in the work queue window ...

Hello Joe. Nice to talk to you. Thank you for the above. Your comments about the code tags are noted. I've not been using the full editor but if I have log entries to post in future, I'll make sure I do. :) As for the right clicking on the folding slots, I'm sorry to say nothing happens except it br...

Hello Bruce Thanks again for your input. Please find here the start of my session earlier (yesterday - Tuesday 15th May 2013) when I started the session. You can see the GPU details. You're right usually it's not worth my GPU running but at the moment I do leave it running more than usual as I'm con...

Hello Panther. Thank you kindly for that. I've had a quick look at the link but it's for experts and I'm definitely far from that so I'm not going to do anything it says, unless you or bruce or another super moderator/user advises me to do so. Just for your information, a work unit or all work units...

Thanks, Bruce. 8082 is now at 98% (still running) so should be finished in just over an hour (ETA). After that I should be able to delete the slot as you say. All I need now please is for you to let me know if you'd be so kind how I do that and any other steps I need to take? You said something abou...

Sorry Bruce I'm a little confused again. You say deleting a WU is frowned upon which is why it's not easy (ok understandable) and you recommend letting it finish before doing that but isn't it merely going to keep failing as before? I've actually left my computer on most of the evening with the fold...

Hi Bruce. You're right it didn't explain it - didn't really understand a word to be honest - too techie for me lol. I understand YOU a lot better though so thank you for your patience. I delete/clear the logs fairly regularly although I do look at them fairly frequently just to see what's happening,...
