Re: Why can't I do more than 1 WU at a time?
Which work unit IS running? I suspect that your CPU is folding, and the issue lies with detection of the GPU and/or iGPU.

Re: Weird "exception: bad allocation" behaviour
Other than the error showing up, it worked fine for me on V7. I just haven't had any of them since November.

Re: Weird "exception: bad allocation" behaviour
Forgot about this thread, and have confirmed the same error. I finally caught the last one and watched when it tossed the error, and there was plenty of memory left to use if it was needed. I noticed the trend of it being 18261 for me back before this thread. I didn't get many of those projects but ...

Re: Paid team
I surely see your view, but that is where I have to make the point that folding is an act of giving and also, nothing is truly disconnected. For example, I can run a fold, heat my home and give a researcher what they need. Folding could not be described as a total loss. I wouldn't be willing to pay...

Re: Project: 15209 (Run 4, Clone 0, Gen 0)
That's the way the system works. At this point the researcher should get a notification of the failures, and it should quit being assigned.
Then the researcher can take a look and try to figure out why it failed.

Re: 18283 - RCG 17,0,181
It happens at times. Once it fails 5 times the researcher is notified and it should quit going out on the assignment servers. They can then use the information to try to figure out why it failed at the point it did.

Re: What is best practice for overclocking / undervolting a 50xx in Linux?
The testing I did was on Turing hardware, with many fewer cores. I would imagine at some point the memory bandwidth vs total core count comes into the picture, along with power limits and where a little extra power helps and doesn't. I've found that most changes will work on all projects, but at tim...

Re: 2025-09-11 -- CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700)
Just food for thought.... I have used both the EVGA (Precision X1) and MSI Afterburner software without any issues, but keep in mind in some cases you can set it to boot to that setting and might have missed it. But in either case, both seem to work fine. BUT I did have one project when I first got ...

Re: 2025-09-11 -- CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS (700)
All those projects are still in beta testing. If you are on the beta team, you should have posted in the beta section. If you are not on the beta team, you now know one of the reasons why beta testing can be less stable and result in failed work units. There may be issues that cause instability with...

To say that he goes in depth would be an understatement. Looking for that efficiency always makes sense for the long game.Albuquerquefx wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 11:24 pm That thread is a gold mine, thank you for posting it Bob! I know what I'm gonna be doing this weekend![]()

Re: What happens with dumped WUs?
Well, until you try you don't know. Maybe you are playing more intensive games then Joe H. is, but then again, maybe not. And I can't count how many times people have tried to tell me that I can't do many of the things we do while folding..... but we do. Often I'm logged in and running folding, HFM,...

Re: What is best practice for overclocking / undervolting a 50xx in Linux?
Just for input - Myself and a couple others have found that lowering the memory clocks is actually more efficient. I haven't seen any testing on newere hardware, but the idea is that anything since Turing has more than enough memory bandwidth and there is little if anything to be gained. BUT driving...

Re: What happens with dumped WUs?
There are options, but not all of them might work for you. But before we even get to that point, what are you using the computer for that is so intensive you can't fold and do those tasks at the same time? We surf the 'net, stream videos, edit photos and videos, work on spreadsheets, etc.... all whi...

I can't speak for anybody else, but site access is fine for me now. I hadn't even sent Jason an email yet. Maybe he was still tweaking some things or the DNS issues cleared up.

Re: AMD RX480 8GB stuck in wait loop
480 is old and nearly obsolete. It will not get too many work units to fold. On top of that future upgrade in HIP will not officially support Poliaris or older GPUs. Is there any way for you internal testers to see actual numbers of what is in the assignment ques? Just curious, since I had some del...
