Can you post a URL for this service?

Good idea, I've done the same. I'll remove it when the server is healthy.

I've been seeing this too.

Does anybody know if there's an OpenCL program somwhere that can report the actual hardware characteristics of a GPU? I found that the Nvidia SDK for linux has a sample program for querying CUDA Device information. I've included the output for my EVGA 2060 KO (non-ultra) from both the app deviceQue...

Nevertheless, FAH has always focused on the *@home market and there are very few folks who will spend $1000+ for a CPU for a home computer. First is the basic issue of science. Adding an expensive GPU to a computer adds more computing power than adding a threadripper. Second, there's the issue of p...

Thanks for sharing the solution for this. I installed FAH on Fedora 31 this weekend and I was scratching my head on why FAHControl was failing to start, then spotted this post.

I installed linux and let it auto configure and run over the weekend. From a PPD perspective the difference is massive. I have 2 GPUs now so it set the CPU slot to use 46 threads (which the logs show it drop to 45, I assume because of the prime thread count weirdness). The PPD of the CPU slot is 1-1...

I picked up a 1650 Super after asking about it. It's ppd is in the 350-440k range depending on project and OS. It seems to be reasonable given the price, but 700k is much higher than the actual results.

I've been eyeing the 1650 Super, would like to know what your PPD is with it now that it's had time to settle in.

Today I tried 2 cpu slots with 24 threads each and 1 gpu slot. This seems to be working well, the gpu slot is not suffering at all. I think with 48 logical processors the effect of not having a dedicated core for gpu is negligible. So far 32/14 seems best, but has the risk of running dry on 32 threa...

I configured 4 slots, 16/16/8/6 and after 20 hours or so I checked the PPD and it was down quite a bit compared to 2 slots (32/14). The drop was 80k+ PPD. Today I'm giving 25/21 a shot, giving bruce's suggestion of keeping the slots more balanced in thread count, while avoiding avoid large primes. S...

Thanks for the information everyone. I'll test to see if AMD's SMT is of value or not, it's a different implementation than Intel's HT and may be of value. If I do see value in running more than 24 threads I'll experiment with running 3 or 4 cpu slots to find the sweet spot. I was unaware of GROMACS...

Hi, I recently upgraded to an AMD Threadripper 3960X, it has 24 physical cores and with SMT enabled 48 logical cores. Since the FAH A7 client is limited to 32 threads I configured 2 cpu slots, one with 32 threads and the other with 14 (I left 2 logical cores free for GPU folding/misc system stuff) ....
