Folding Forum

Man-hours by whom? Dr. Pande is a Chemistry/Physics/(applied Math) professor and although he and his people know a lot about computers, they're not in the business of designing features for operating systems or creating improved hardware drivers. They ARE in the business of developing code that ana...

All seem like sensible and valid arguments, cpu might be easier to deal with. it might require more man hours to make it work on a gpu, but the return is also great? accessibility is a big point for cpu's, but from the perspective of folding on a regular desktop computer, using windows. Gpu definite...

So gpu wu's are optimized for both models now? meaning as a contributor, gpu is the default priority, as it is alot faster. Plain and simple? When it comes to the project itself, the only thing cpu's have going for them is that there is alot of them? i imagine even at a 2:1 ratio they pale in compar...

I have been wondering for a while how they decide and distribute the work being handed out to cpus/gpus. I have usually considered gpus and cpus to be in different separate brackets. Is that still the case? i can't seem to find it now, but i read somewhere on the folding site that they were pretty m...

The update you're waiting for seems to be approaching completion. Specific projects are being categorized as Beta / Advanced / Fah based on forum reports. The goal is to move all project which have problems back to beta and all projects which do not have problems to full FAH. As always, the project...

LOL now now gentlemen, i have changed it to advanced see how that goes but still not playing properly just wait and see. was getting 0x18 now 0x17 As far as i can tell the issue lies with something stanford did, i don't think there is anything we can do. I tried the beta flag earlier, grabbed a new...

Same here. Lots of reports of them failing popping up today. ERROR:exception: Force RMSE error of 640.873 with threshold of 5 yah, that's the same error i have been seeing, i guess there isn't much i ca do then as it isn't a local error, strange that they would just suddenly start failing like that...

"The easiest way is to check to see if /sys/firmware/efi exists. It does not appear if you booted using traditional BIOS." Source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162564/how-can-i-tell-if-my-system-was-booted-as-efi-uefi-or-bios If you remove the 7950, do you get the same error on the 970?...

The point is, on the off chance that this is due to a MB incompatibility, that even if he RMAs, his replacement card's behaviour won't be any different. But indeed, the fact that there's apparent damage to the PCB, the BIOS error code and the failed GPU mem self-test points rather to a dead card. I...

Try: 1. Reseating it carefully - make sure it's fully inserted in the PCI-E slot - if you have another one to try in do that. Make sure that the power connectors are properly and full connected. 2. Clear your CMOS (might want to do a backup first). 3. Make sure your MB has the latest BIOS - if not ...

If you remove the 7950, do you get the same error on the 970? interesting that you should say that, i hadn't really done any proper testing, if i remove the 7950 and install the gtx 970 in the top slot, my pc doesn't seem to want to boot properly, first it displays B2 then a single underscore _ tha...

i recently received a msi gtx 970, i have it installed alongside a sapphire 7950 gpu. I followed the instructions here: /viewtopic.php?f=67&t=19989&p=199379#p199379 if i edited the current slots the fah client kept resetting the slot to -1, so i removed both gpu slots and added 2 new slots, ...
