Folding Forum

I hit pause, then move the cursor over to the start menu and hit "Shutdown", which takes about a second or two. I don't see why those assumptions were necessary. It's good that the bug is supposedly fixed in the 8.5 beta, but most people are not running the beta. I run 8.4.9 because that'...

You are mentioning shutting down right after you pause. How "right after" is it? ns after? A second after? Are you holding shutdown button/icon ransom, while you are pausing folding? The reason I ask, is that your issues are not widespread and are extremely rare, and specific to your abili...

FAH does not like hibernation or sleep mode.
Shutting down would be the only solution

Search this forum for headless install. I remember there being discussion on how to configure FAHclient in headless setup. Once it is set up with account token and stuff, you can controll it remotely with any other PC

Thanks for that advice, but I'm not sure if I have a way to know whether the UPS will be recognized by Folding and BOINC; so I'd like (or better: I need) to plan carefully. Should I ask the sellers of each UPS I'm considering if they are recognized by Windows 11 as batteries? What do you suggest? T...

Hello, <...> What is wrong with my config? What did i miss? CU alteir You missed the message in the terminal window right after installation. Message was explaining what to do next to start folding :) It gave you URL to click and visit web control page. If you installed the package through GUI wind...

Hi Everyone, Would it be better to accept that if windows is going to force the Fahclient to close, that the software can save its current WU's, or have a somekind memoryfile in place so it could potentially recover. I appreciate that there probably is a reason why fahclient is built as it is, but ...

PPD issue is known. In regards to windows updates, you will have to control them better. When you see them lined up to be done, pause folding, update windows. Windows updates are annoying, I know, but they are also lethal for windows apps, as updates ignore them running and just restart the PC anyways

Logs of FAHclient would help to see what exactly is happening

Yeah, can't believe it has been 14 years since it showed up in Sandy bridge

You may be confusing the existence of AVX supporting 128-bit SIMD as well as 256-bit SIMD. As initially implemented by AMD the 128-bit SIMD instructions were often faster, some unofficially called that "AVX 128". AVX2 then made most of the vector integer instructions 256-bit, before many ...

That was Intel SSE with the 128-bit registers; MMX was 64-bit and AVX introduced 256-bit registers. AVX is also when x86 picked up dedicated FMA instructions.

Alternative reality strikes again

Mesa icd loader hides AMD rocm from the FAHclient. When you remove mesa ICD loader, you have to then follow the guide I linked to get rocm runtime installed and opencl icd loader installed (non Mesa). I have 9070 folding on mint 22.1 without any issues. At one point Mesa pushed their own icd loader ...
