Folding Forum

You can always pause the client and manually force it to sleep when all slots are in the ready state "ALL" slots need not be paused. A CPU slot will resume properly after a sleep; only the GPU slot(s) must be paused. It doesn't matter whether this is done using the slider or by right-clic...

Hi Joe Thanks for the info. I was asking because previously the core_16 was using significant CPU resources all the time (26% usually) and the CPU slot was using the rest so they were kind of clashing. Anyways, I will try to see what works out the best. EDIT: core_17 works way better. 8-10x more PPD...

Simplest is to pause folding completely, then let your system sleep or shut it down. You can usually resume afterwards from a checkpoint. The problem arises when sleeping with the GPU slot active as no indication is given to the software that the data in the GPU RAM might have gone away or have bee...

With GPU folding active, sleep is disabled. This is because in many cases sleep removes power from the GPU, and loses the current folding data. On waking the usual result is a crash of the folding process or corruption of the data. CPU folding does not have the same issue as the default sleep setti...

You are right, my drivers did crash. EDIT: seems to work now, resumed from 59% (point when it stopped logging) Also, regarding the CPU WU: When I click finish, and it finishes it normally stops after the WU is complete. However, if I restart my PC it starts again in the next session. Can I actually ...

Hi! I need help again! First, the GPU WU is at 99% and not moving at all. It's a core_16 one. The log simply stopped recording anything other than opening a web client couple of hours ago. It stopped at 59%. The WU is 99.99% now and there is no upload in the queue, just the unit itself. Also, I noti...

Yes, that's what I meant for the GPU process.
Thanks!

Yes, the CPU usage is constantly 100% if both CPU and GPU slots are available. Right now I am running GPU only ( I stopped CPU slot, you can see that at the end of the log). GPU process uses about 26% of CPU So far all my WUs for GPU were core 16 *********************** Log Started 2013-10-19T13:20:...

Hi! Thanks! My PC is not dedicated to Folding, but it is running mostly without usage from user. It is running maybe 16h/day in idle and couple of hours of use. Should I still do this? My processor is dual core hyper threaded i3 I have the latest Catalyst drivers, should that be fine for AMD card? I...

Hi! Thanks for your reply!

When I click "add" on extra slot options it asks me for "name" and "value"
What should I do here?

Hi everyone! I am new to folding so I need a short help to configure my system. I am aware that there might be solution posted elsewhere, but I haven't found it so you can also direct me. I am running Intel i3 3220+ Radeon 7850 + 8GB RAM Folding@home client 7.3.6 Windows 7 64 bit Both of my units ar...
