Folding Forum

This is a serious issue, what's the status on this? It's been a week now.

How long did you pause the CPU? You need to let it run for a few percentages before the client's PPD estimate becomes reaonable. After your suggestion, I did a longer test and paused the CPU and let the GPU run alone for over 4 hours and complete 9.5% of the WU. During the pause I lost about 8,200 ...

I don't have any useful information about what's going on there.

Thank you, bruce.

Hey guys I did a quick search and nothing came up, though there was apparently a problem in April where an owner of a server kinda dropped the ball (viewtopic.php?f=108&t=34768&p=329819&hilit=Waiting+on+Send+Results#p329470). In my case there is a slot perpetually in the "Send"...

bruce wrote:Instead of two slots: CPU:12 and CPU:2 I would probably set them to CPU:6 and CPU:8 or :9. Let them run until they both get new assignments before you begin to evaluate the changes.

This is an interesting idea. Can you please elaborate as to why split it up like this?

Yes, the disadvantage of owning a 16 core (or thread). You could set it to 15 threads in Linux. But for Windows you'll really need more. Also, PPD will fluctuate during folding, but also from WU to WU. Some WUs will get half the PPD of others. If you have an AMD CPU (like a Ryzen), make sure your C...

I think I figured it out. I have 16 virtual cores so I specified 14, but in the log I'm seeing 22:22:37:WU01:FS00:0xa7:Reducing thread count from 14 to 13 to avoid domain decomposition with large prime factor 7 22:22:37:WU01:FS00:0xa7:Reducing thread count from 13 to 12 to avoid domain decomposition...

It may lower your CPU PPD, but keep the GPU scores high.

Great, how do I do this? I've been researching the "advanced/expert options" and I'm not finding it yet.

Thanks guys. So first of all the laptop is a PowerSpec 1530. It's MicroCenter's in-house brand (they only have one model) and it's pretty impressive. I'm 75% sure that unlike most laptops, it does have separate cooling for the CPU and GPU, though I haven't seen an exploded view or taken it apart. Ha...

Hey guys I just got a new laptop and I'm cranking away for the first time in years. I signed up for CPU+GPU and it's going quite well. I'm getting about 1.1 million PPD on the GPU side and about 90-100k PPD on the CPU side and I thought that was great. Then yesterday into early this morning I saw th...
