Folding Forum

Actually, half of it boils down to manpower and resources. the other half boils down to the suitability of the hardware to continuously process (mostly) FP32 operations. 1. Circuitry doing heavy computation generates a lot of heat and keeping it from overheating is a serious limitation. 2. Battery ...

This is Folding@Home support forums. BOINC forums are here : https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_index.php Sorry, I was certain that I wrote BOINC AND Folding at home, which is what I meant. I've posted this on the BOINC forum too, where I mentioned both clients, so don't know what went wrong here. So...

This might not even be technically possible, but it's just an idea. Since BOINC can't be installed directly on iOS, it would be awesome if you could connect your Iphone or Ipad to your Mac, and use the mobile device's compute power to run more BOINC tasks on your Mac that way. Since the M4 iPad Pro ...

In the settings of the Folding at home MacOS client, the "cause" option is set to "any" by default, and you can manually choose a cause to support. But on Windows there is a "high priority" option, which is missing on MacOS, which I always used on Windows, and I'd love ...

Update

If I set my CPU core count utilization to only 4, matching my 4 performance cores, it is actually faster than using both my 4 P cores and 6 E cores together, I just learned of this, even though it makes no sense to me, it works.

Thanks for the detailed response, I appreciate it.

Any estimate on when it will be supported?

Just installed Folding@Home on my brand new M4 Mac Mini, with 10 CPU and 10 GPU cores. The 10 CPU cores work fine, but in the Folding@home client, it says 0 GPU cores, even though this should say 10. Compared to Windows, and or Intel Macs do the CPU and GPU cores of the Apple Silicon ARM chips work ...

Does the folding@Home client work on chromebooks, both x86 and ARM based ones, and is there an easy way to install it without using linux or the terminal?

Does Folding@Home support Windows 11 ARM in general, and specifically the new Snapdragon X Plus and Elite ARM chips?

Is Folding@Home 100%/fully optimized with native Windows 11 ARM support in general, and specifically for the new Snapdragon X Plus and Elite ARM Windows laptop chips? And if not, when will it be?

Will it ever be possible to use your RAM, SSD, and/or network connection with the folding home software, and does anybody know of any other software that's capable of utilizing these other components to contribute to similar "good" causes?

Is it possible to add other diseases to research for to FAH like HIV/AIDS, Malarya, COPD, or other diseases?

Can you please make an Android and iOS app version of this software, both released in their respective app stores, so it can also be used on mobile devices?

Does the software fully support the latest version of MacOS, as well as all the new M3 Apple Silicon chips, which have new features like ray-tracing, dynamic caching, and mesh shading? Also, the Ultra chips are composed of 2 max chips stuck together, which some software and games struggle to fully u...
