Folding Forum

It is up to the labs to apply for FAH participation I guess I'm thinking that they may not know about FAH, and inviting them, or just giving them an information pack, might lead to more work being both available and done. There is a list of current and past members of the Folding@home Consortium Th...

Are there any international research organisations participating in FAH?

If not, why not? Given the lack of work at times, wouldn't having more participants be better. Plus FAH is an international effort, so why not process work for international research organisations?

If you look around these forums you might have noticed that FAH had some server issues in past several days, your GPU transfer failed messages might be related to that I haven't seen any other posts about very slow (55.54MB of 74.10MB @ 34.16KB/s), and which then fail, downloading problems. Thankfu...

My GPU has experienced lots of Exception: Transfer failed for the last three hours, during very slow downloading of a new work unit (@<350kbit/s). Is this problem restricted to v7? Also, is it possible to have FAH Control open whenever Folding@Home is manually started in Windows. I removed the comma...

Why am I getting two of the following messages, every minute, in my version 7 logs? WARNING:52:127.0.0.1:404 HTTP NOT FOUND /api/websocket These messages appear when you run v8 web control and you have a v7 client on our system. I thought that might be the case. Thanks toTow for confirming that. I'...

I've just discovered that version 7.6.21 logs the upload and download progress (in Windows)!

If you have an unused GPU folding slot that you delete using the v7 Configure, by default it will be added back. To keep this from happening, once you have the GPUs you want configured, then set GPUs to false. The ones already configured with slots will remain, the client will not rescan to add GPU...

Note that the 52 is a count of these messages, and increases by one every time a new entry is created

If removed via Advanced Control > Configure, won't they be added back when the Folding@home client is restarted?

Is it possible to remove unused folding slots via config.xml?

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but is it possible to set a machine to download a new work unit, when the current work unit is 90% complete?

As GPU's are processing frames so quickly, there's an unnecessary delay while the (very large) new work unit is downloaded.

Well, it seems that things are improving. 0xa8 WU's are currently being assigned at a rate of 3,264/hr, which is around 3 times faster than yesterday. Now, none of my Pi 5's are having to wait for a new WU. I believe this is primarily due to a new/reactivated assign server, vav22.fah.temple.edu, and...

For at least the last 24 hours, my Pi 5's have all experienced delays in getting a new work unit, while my GPU hasn't.

For those of us who just want to help, could a GPU setting be set up in the 8.4 web interface to only download GPU WUs or download any WUs, with a note about reduced points.

Then, the servers could be set up to stop GPUs downloading any non-GPU WUs, if there are less than x of those WUs remaining.

Is there a reason GPU's can't do any WU?

My 5B's can do an 18240 WU...
