My client was completely idle all of yesterday for the first time since starting this. Something is definitely up..

Happening for the first time to me. 08:54:13:WU01:FS01:Sending unit results: id:01 state:SEND error:NO_ERROR project:11758 run:0 clone:2354 gen:0 core:0x22 unit:0x0000000a9bf7a4d55e6d7715c7032479 08:54:13:WU01:FS01:Uploading 55.24MiB to 155.247.164.213 08:54:13:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 155.247.164.21...

I've been getting cancer WUs both yesterday and today, and at a pretty consistent pace, too.

I suppose they've sorted out the servers and are "filling in the blanks" between COVID units with other units.

Are you getting these results with the COVID-19 units? I am certainly not getting anywhere near 1 million PPD estimates, the few times I get units at all the client estimates 100k PPD. Is something wrong with my setup? You probably didn't add a passkey : https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points...

Okay, that's alright I suppose. Perhaps I can run it in a lightweight virtual Linux.

Is there any time frame for the first beta release?

Hello, How is the progress on S@H, and more importantly (for me at least) will it be open source and/or multiplatform? Might be able to run it in virtual Linux, but if it would support Solaris in addition to Linux and Windows that would be best. What operating systems are you guys targeting with S@H?

But the slots on the P6T6 are all single width. So you'd be limited to 3 double width cards. The K9A2 Plat will still take 4 double width cards. To max a single box out you will need to find a WATX board which has the max number of x8 or x16 PCI-E slots in the right place. Then you could fit 5 doub...

What's interesting is that the average GFLOPS/GPU is about the same for NVIDIA and ATI, slightly higher for ATI even. This clashes head-on with the points discrepancy between the two. What's going on?

How does preventing the machines from doing work help find a cure for cancer? If client A is a GPU and client B is a CPU, client A is going to complete a certain number of WUs regardless of whether or not client B is working on WUs. However, if you take client B away, that's a certain number of WUs...

Wait & See :) The 4870X2 already is already more powerful. Wait to see what they have on the GPU front in 2 years. 'More powerful', what do you mean? 32-bit floating point performance in an arbitrary benchmark, no support for industry standard parallel programming languages? It's an entirely di...

Soon the 177.79 driver is going to be WHQL'd for all CUDA capable cards, and Nvidia will have an official workaround for multiple CUDA devices in Vista (due to their PhysX) which will also help.. So to say, current GPU client adoption has barely scratched the niche community. The client is now out o...

Slightly different devices - the Sterling Engine acts like an old fashioned steam-powered train, and is intended to produce motion. The OP's links generate electricity, which can be used for a wider variety of purposes. MSI's HeatPipe + Sterling-powered fan intrigues me; I wonder how effective and ...

Reinventing the wheel.

Yes, it works.

They went from 9000-something to 8000-something clients apparently. Perhaps something to do with the server downtime thing?
