Folding Forum

I have the IP addresses specified in both.

It is not a big issue. It runs on multiple servers in my garage. I just need to be mindful when I restart them to manually stop, kill and start again.
As long as they keep running and churning out folds they will likely not be restarted at all.

Thanks Joe_H I seem to get the same behaviour with calling the unit file via full path or via the service command. Stop does not appear to stop it and leaves some processes still active. However, when there were no processes running and I started it up, I can do a reload without any problems. I have...

I had similar problems with current V7.5.1 I have 2 machines on Windows 10. They appear to be online and hard at work. Then I have 4 machines on Ubuntu Server 18.04 running as headless services. Firstly when I start the service, systemctl reports a failure, yet the process still runs and writes to t...

Interesting builds indeed. Each of the Xeon CPU's have 40 PCI-e lanes for a total of 80 and the motherboard has 7 slots. 4 slots are x16 and 3 are x8 Single slot GPUs are expensive or old and inefficient by today's standard. In addition Dell recons it supports 4 of those and then recons there should...

Thanks Joe. 64GB would be a bit excessive then. It got me thinking...would it be better to have multiple VMs running, eg. 12 instances, each with 2 cores and 4GB RAM or 6 instances, each with 4 cores and 8GB RAM or 3 instances, each with 8 cores and 16GB RAM or 2 instances, each with 12 cores and 32...

Don't know how to post images, but the T620 is now folding on all 24 cores at 99%
Does not seem to be using much in the way of memory.

No GPUs yet, but I might be able to add another 3 R720 servers with similar CPU specs over the weekend.

Thanks foldy. I did some more searching and opening. Adding this here for other folders looking to use a T620 or R720. T620 supports 4 double width GPU cards. 2 on each CPU. But then there is no space for the Perc Raid controller or Network interface card. One would have to use single width cards to...

Hi Folders I have some old servers lying about. R720 and T620 They have decent RAM. 64GB or more. And dual socket Xeon E5-26xx CPUs Would they be useful? What OS would you recommend? I can do Windows, Ubuntu or CentOs Anyone added GPU's to such machines? The T620 has lots of space and the manual say...
