With bonus points, the difference in PPD can be significant. I’m not running v7 anymore, and projects vary wildly. But I believe I’m getting +25% PPD vs intel cores under Rosetta. I can confirm the difference between similar projects from V7 to V8 on a M2 Mac mini is 48% increased PPD so nothing to...

Raspberry Pi 5 is still on the 28nm node I think - they stay on the "value nodes" to get good performance/$, but the result is that the compute/kWh is not great. It's low power when idling, but when number-crunching, it gets relatively poor performance for its power consumption. Take this...

To be honest, after just securing myself a new job which pays better than the last (I work in IT funnily enough), i'm thinking to hell with it, and save up for a custom-build 16 core/32 thread Ryzen machine! Set FAH to 28 CPU's and see if the integrated graphics will be strong enough for normal usag...

My M1 mini gets 40-240k ppd with bonus. Usually 150k. I expect the base M4 to get twice the ppd. Well anything released in 2024 is going to smash my current chip, which averages 40k! I just have a hunch though the 8700G will still beat the M4, albeit using slightly more power, just due to the FAH &...

I have a Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip. I set it up to use the 6 performance cores for folding, and have not noticed any impact at all while gaming in WoW or other games so far. I see a bit higher PPD than shown on the Lars site, but that includes an average over all cores. The economy cores do s...

I've been running a Ryzen 3400G CPU for some years now (no GPU), and am looking to upgrade over the coming months. I was originally looking to upgrade to the latest AM5 Ryzen chips (8700G), that is until Apple recently released the latest Mac Mini with M4 for just £600, and now i'm torn! This will b...

ok, mystery solved

Mystery indeed solved (at least for me).... Last WU went by without a hitch!
Sorry for the run-around!

I will have to check this further on my systems as I was running an older release of the v8 beta client. I also saw a memory leak on macOS, that was running v8.3.14 Intel and fah-client had grown to 3.3 GB over a few weeks. As that system has 48 GB of RAM it barely noticed the memory usage. On Wind...

FAHClient.exe memory usage is not related to this project. But the reason it crashed might be because you ran out of memory allocation My machine has 16GB of memory, and this WU is the only one where this happens, so there must be some link surely? I see it's the biggest CPU project there is in ter...

This project needs to be urgently looked at. Failed on me again, only for my machine to be given another straight after. Note that FAHClient.exe uses a LOT of memory when running this project. 07:09:49:I1:WU23:Project: 18806 (Run 45, Clone 34, Gen 265) 07:09:49:I1:WU23:Reading tar file core.xml 07:0...

If you could report your full system details in this issue tracker, that would be great: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues/291 Alternatively, you can list your system details here, in this thread (please include OS + build, CPU, GPU, motherboard and RAM used) Thanks Thanks, ...

Thought i'd "re-open" this thread, as I had this WU fail on me today. Unfortunately I haven't been able to copy the logs, but I do know that at around 90% I noticed it had stopped (was monitoring on my phone), and upon checking the logs, "bad unit" was mentioned. Interestingly, b...

Mystery solved I think! I disabled the Intrusion Detection system of part of my home firewall network, and once I refreshed the phone, it immediately synced! Now just a case of me figuring out what the false positive was that was causing the block.

Things are getting even weirder. Just tried to start a new WU manually to see if I could start it from the phone. It would start on the phone but not sync on the machine itself (Disconnected). Then noticed I had multiple icons in the System Tray. One said Failed, the other was asleep?, the other run...

After a two year hiatus, I have returned to folding, and got the latest version installed on my Windows setup. All good on that machine, folding fine. However, I have noticed that my account when logged into on my iphone no longer shows its current status. Yesterday during the first WU I could follo...
