You should expect to see a few hundred thousand with a GPU. The config file is located in /etc/fahclient

What does the command "nvidia-smi" show as the GPU name?

Excuse Bruce, he replies to a lot of emails.

What version of Linux are you running? I assume Ubuntu? if so follow this and do the Graphics drivers and Open CL part:

I wrote this post specifically for what you are looking to do: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28869 This is my eighteenth year folding so I have a little experience. I have two solid machines running with the AMD FX-8350/8370 CPU's for years now. They are cheap to acquire. Then I ...

Same issue here.

You need a physical core per GPU to maintain performance. No hyperthreading, etc. That will limit you with lots of PCIe losts. The best I have done is 7 cards on 16X slots. I have moved to the max of 5 on mixed 16x to 4x for stability and performance.

One other thing to note. If it is a dedicated machine with multi GPU it is best to turn off Hyperthreading. Otherwise fahcore can jump to using the same physical core on both threads. Hyperthreading is only good for apps that do a lot of IO and are threaded.

Never mind I found the entry for the above. It is a case issue. And that makes sense with the email part. But now the question is how to handle this in a stats page since there is no way to decipher the differences in the summary file. I see that http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ ... =&u=7...

Two entries on the same team. Did this person lose some PPD? If you look at FAH stats it gets even more hosed: 3,331 jims85montess 74,591,948 1,688 111065 31,113 jims85montess 2,971,743 294 0 Where is this 2,971,743? Not in the summary file anywhere. This is just for starters. I have many more I ca...

These summary files are completely broken. Whoever runs stats sites off these are not going to be accurate. keith099 2378224865 43323 3074 keith099 110484639 64065 3074 jims85montess 74591948 1688 111065 jims85montess 6205067 605 111065 jims85montess 2425431 318 0 jims85montess 665216 182 0 Two entr...

Or this new issue:

Two anonymous users on the same team. Obviously the first is correct one. But this is just the small issues I am finding with something so simple. Makes me worried about how the data is being handled.

Understood. But most of them haven't added credits in years. What about the other errors above that where there is no usernames in the summary file?

Additionally looks like a team entry that doesn't exist:

2244970
4294967295


Not to mention some crazy character usernames that don't translate so well.

The database could really use a cleanup of garbage usernames

There appears to be several users with no usernames in the daily file. Example lines:
Which looks to be the credit and not the username for the first field. This has been there for a long time it seems.

7 slots doesn't necessarily mean it's capable of handling 7 GPUs... Since the CPU will handle a max of 40 PCI lanes, 5 x8 GPU connections would be the max available, IF you could physically put the cards into the machine. That board will accept a max of 4 double-slot GPU cards. This is not correct....
