Folding Forum

I have this build and I'd like to know what I need to do to take 100% advantage of all computing power available. You may (or may not) already be using 100% of the computing resources. We need to see the first couple pages of FAH's latest log file: /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt. (The one you posted 32...

Will the folding app automatically leverage all GPUs and CPUs in the system?

Yeah I don't know about those results for the 770s

One more question. What is the best hardware to dedicate for this type of computing?

What's the difference between 780 and Titan's performance? Is the Titan worth the difference? They just dropped the price on the 780 down to $500 USD, which makes it more competative on on a PPD/$ basis. The Titan, at twice the price, does not fold at twice the speed. From an Anandtech review... ht...

Tesla are being phased out bruce? The K20s should get you somewhere in the ballpark of the 780 - more 'thread processors' but at a lower frequency. Telsa's might actually allow more support with linux, because my understanding is that the Radeon Linux drivers provide less information than the profe...

In terms of value for money, you're going to get better bang for your buck going with 'regular' GeForce GPUs - the benefits associated with Quadros (i.e. DP compute) don't really apply for F@H at the present time. The quick return bonus (QRB) rewards faster GPUs in an exponential manner, but this i...

My apologize. I didn't exactly know what I have. Looks like they are all 2x E5-2950s. 8-cores each. 16 physical cores. 32 /w HT.

Anyway, is there anything else I can do with the config to maximize computational output?

ALSO, what GPUs are best for this? In the case of nVIDIA, GeForce or Quadro?

What is a WU?

How?

ekiro - personal servers or servers (work or otherwise) that you have access/control of? It's a common first question, as if they aren't personal servers then as per the EULA you need to get permission of the owners/business to run FAH on them (ideally in writing). It would probably be useful to ke...

I have numerous servers sitting at the data center, powered on with lots of disk activity, but the CPUs are 99% idle. Worst thing is, these servers have 4x 8-core CPUs (32 cores total). I installed the available debian package and set the load to 'full'. Here is what I see now. Can someone confirm I...
