Re: AMD Radeon VII - Double Precision

Create 2 resource groups, both having just that GPU ticked Just pretend I have no idea what a resource group is or how I create one. ;) Using Windows client btw. It uses "slots", and when the GPU is used in one of those, you can't re-use it again in another slot. So I assume you're talkin...

Re: AMD Radeon VII - Double Precision

That is the reason I always write guesstimate of PPD increase, since 60% of performance increase is not 60% of PPD increase. 60% of performance increase is waaaay more in PPD increase, but we don't know exactly how much, since HIP FAHcore is taking sweet time to be released :/ That sounds really ra...

Re: Thoughts on Apple M chips?

Seems to be getting about 5x the ppd of my M1 mini. 540-1040k ppd so far. That's quite impressive for the power consumption and only 10 cores/threads... I'm getting an aggregate 1+ million PPD folding on 14 cores/28 threads out of the 16/32 of my AMD 7950X3D CPU (split into two groups), and burning...

Re: AMD Radeon VII - Double Precision

Output ranges from 1m to 2.6m PPD in OpenCL. Probably double that with HIP Is that a guesstimate of what a theoretical HIP core might accomplish, or is there actually some way to enable HIP support in F@H? The way OpenCL is absolutely stone dead, should not F@H do something more to move off of this...

Re: Switch preference to Parkinsons for highest PPD

My AMD Radeon 7900XTX strongly favors a particular series of parkinson WUs - it's the only project which gives even half decent performance for the wattage consumed (over 10M PPD at times with some of these WU - at 300-350+ watts consumed.) Previously I didn't favor any particular cause - it didn't ...

Re: AM5 thermals too high

I’ve been playing with BOINC with my CPU’s. It’s cpu control is a much needed improvement that F@H should adopt. I last ran BOINC ten years ago at least, I don't really remember anymore. But at the time, you could set CPU usage as a percentage, and it was actually really accurate. That always fasci...

Best practices for CPU folding on dual-CCD AMD Ryzen 3000/5000/7000 series

Since 12 and 16 core Ryzen CPUs have dual CCDs/chiplets, is it generally recommended to divide available CPU cores into two CPU folding slots with >16 threads each (multithreading enabled, of course) or not...? Windows 11 OS, by the way. Perhaps particularly with 12 or 16-core Ryzen 7000-series X3D ...

Re: Apple TV app

The client downloads executable code to run work units. Apple will not approve such apps. If the cores appear as DLC in the app store, I don't see why they wouldn't approve it. It's no different than any number of other apps. ...Naturally, an Apple TV app might not be the most useful thing though. ...

Re: 4070ti low power usage...

I have run a quite few other cards and have never noticed this behavior before. Usually a card with no power limit runs at 100% of power while folding. Power useage behavior is not an exact science, this can/does vary between different pieces of hardware and the particular loads you run on them. As...
