Folding Forum

sorry for not searching better; i was not sure of the right keywords. i will look again. i mean, you know the kind of people we tend to be. while i didn't put kill-a-watts on any machine, i do have a zigbee device monitoring my grid consumption and i have 5 years of prior data. i know how many machi...

i noticed a while back that jchodera was soliciting cash donations for the project on twitter, and mentioned that any donation would be tax-deductable. has anyone looked into whether or not the electricity used to run FAH simulations might be tax-deductible with their accountant? my electricity bill...

thanks - are there any instructions on how to do this on Ubuntu? i think i just installed nvidia's cuda package and i don't think there's any SDK version mismatch (though the installer probably did install the SDK)

ok well i couldn't figure out the CUDA_PATH thing on windows, but i found that i had cuda 10 and cuda 11 both installed simultaneously. removed all of cuda 10 (probably not necessary) and then removed the cuda 11 development stuff and now at least on my windows 10 box FAH is using CUDA to fold on bo...

how do you do this on windows? FAH is started by some kind of windows service daemon. is there a registry setting or something?

Hi all - i see the new 0.0.13 core trying to create a CUDA context on both linux and W10, and both failing. on windows 10 home, the error is: Failed to create CUDA context Error loading CUDA module: CUDA_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (301) on this machine i have VB2019 and cuda 11.1.0 installed. the NVIDIA c...

well they don't say what they did to eliminate the synthetic nanobodies... but if they were using someone's supercomputer i'd think they would mention it. anyway as i understood it the moonshot project wasn't making moon shots in the dark as it were, but they invited people with domain knowledge to ...

well UCSF isn't exactly russia, as far as credibility goes. i guess what bothers me about this (as a computer guy) is that they apparently accomplished this the old-fashioned way. i would have hoped that this massive computing power we brought to bear on these problems would have yielded results bef...

did these guys just beat the moonshot project the old fashioned way?

sounds like they are already trying to get it into production which seems a bit premature... shouldn't there be a bunch of FDA testing on this?

just had back-to-back-to-back failures on 13420 on an RX 5500 - the work unit dies right away with "ERROR:Discrepancy: Forces are blowing up! 0 0"

meanwhile 13420 is chugging along on a GTX 1060...

i managed to get FAHClient to pull some WUs but so far all the 13416's that i've gotten have pretty good performance with TPFs in the 4m30s range. CPU utilization on the FahCore_22 thread is ~9% when this kind of 13416 is running.

@astrorob: We are currently working internally by testing out a a wide assortment of systems, which have a wide variety of short WUs for different kinds of workloads. The high CPU load is concerning. Is this constant throughout, or periodic (at checkpoints)? If constant, it is likely that the OpenM...

without shutting down rosetta a 13416 finished OK on the RX5500. another 13416 is now running on the RX5500 and the frame times are back into the 6 minute range. i don't know if they tweaked it or it's just the natural variation in these WUs. clearly though looking back thru HFM i can see that i've ...

when i pause folding on that machine, 3 threads are available. i had originally left 2 threads free, one for the nvidia card and one for the AMD card, but with other random stuff needing CPU time, the AMD performance was really bad until i told rosetta to only use 5 threads instead of 6. prior to 13...

P13416 has huge variations so you're not comparing apples to apples. e.g. two 1070s in the same machine, same PCIE speed, same overclock, same drivers, same OS. P13416 (R577, C150, G1) - TPF 02:20 for 1307292 ppd P13416 (R910, C67, G0) - TPF 03:14 for 799240 ppd Don't get hung up on this. Some P134...
