Folding Forum

Of course a powerful PC will fold a small unit very quickly, and come back for more, so there are not many situations in which folding power is wasted. Now when you mention it, a few hours before the servers ran out of work, my main computer did start to get some pretty small WU's which only took 1...

Sounds like an interesting project, I might look into that.

I will probably base it on this https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-control

If interested in adding it to the list, I got a little Nvidia Quadro P400, it sits at an estimated 25600-25700 ppd

"They merged my topic to make help manageable! What can I do? Make even more topics!" Yes, two unrelated topics got merged, that is why I ask. One is about why only one gpu got used, I am asking about how WU's gets distributed to different hardware types and architectures. It is people wh...

Yes the topics were merged. If you look at Bruce's last post in the thread, he indicated such. I can't make much sense of this. My topic is about if there is any balancing going on, depending on what hardware is requesting work. That is merged with a topic related to the current situation where ser...

I made a topic about how servers balance WU's between different hardware, but the first few entries are now about someone having multiple GPU's.

The client software is configured to use a certain number of CPU cores. For example, I have 8 cores on my CPU, but I've configured the software to only use 4 cores because I need the other 4 for other purposes. With this setup, the workunits will only use 4 cores, just as I set up in the configurat...

Right. The "problem" goes away in your perfect world when the server has time to process the request. i.e.: yes and no. There was never a problem, there was a question if there was balancing/priorities depending on hardware. An example, we got a 4 thread cpu and a 8 thread cpu, both idle....

If the servers are too busy to respond to your request, it's also too busy to evaluate your hardware's description. That evaluation happens when the server receives the information about your hardware and it is given the opportunity to choose which project to assign to you. But that is exactly what...

As i interpret these stats ... The servers are handing out 70K WUs per hour. Which is a bump from 55K earlier this week, ( no clue what number was prior to coronatimes ) So there is a lot of work being assigned, but contrary to what the error message in the client is saying ( WARNING:WU00:FS01:Fail...

it is pure luck combined with actually getting WU's means it resets the time between checking of available WU's. Every time an attempt is made to see if an WU is available the time will go up before it checks again, from 1 minute to 5 minutes etc. You might want to see the "next attempt" ...

I have been folding on/off for a few years, but now with so many people helping, it is the first time I have tried it with not enough work for everyone. In my main computer I got a Ryzen 3700x and a RTX2070, most of the day both cpu and gpu sits idle and isn't able to get any WU's to work on. My ser...

Latest word I have was that the developer got the stats up for a bit yesterday, only to have it go back down shortly after. They are looking to see why that fix was not enough. I did notice things starting to look better with the stats api yesterday, looking forward for the new fix though, almost 1...
