Folding Forum

I didn't find any useful informations (project number and number of CPU cores) in this thread to forward the issue to the researchers ... Next time it happens, post a report in the appropriate section of the forum with enough informations, like this one : https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=41...

This should be fixed again. The researchers are looking into why the setting keeps reverting to allow these assignments, they did not explicitly change them. What do you think about the idea of providing more "donor friendly" info on the WU page? Perhaps also including an option for the c...

I assume that the correct response is to dump the WU as soon as possible, and hope that the next one can be completed within the deadline. Yes, this is what we have been doing as well. Which brings up the question; what is the difference between Pause+Dump and Finish? Since the issue is not having ...

I have a suggestion for the WU Details window: In addition to the Assign Time , Deadline , and Timeout fields, show Time now + ETA . That makes it easy for the user to see if Time now + ETA > Timeout . Even more user friendly: add a flag beside the Account settings icon that appears/changes colour i...

I've had the same problem with a couple of recent WUs: Time now + ETA > Timeout I assume that the correct response is to dump the WU as soon as possible, and hope that the next one can be completed within the deadline. Edit: I started with FAH a couple of weeks ago, and have completed 45 WUs with fe...

Thanks, Bob. Everything seems to be completing on time, although the current WU looks like it will complete with less "spare" time than previous ones - it's due to finish after 21 hours of running, and the difference between assign and timeout time is 24 hours. I'm not interested in points...

Returning to report! As suggested by BobWilliams757, I set up my machine for GPU-only folding. It's back to running cool and quiet, and without noticeable slowdowns. I don't see the Resources not available message any more. So, in effect, I can just let F@H run 24/7 and not worry about anything. I k...

Thanks, Bob - I'll try using the GPU only.

Thanks. I think I follow :D My machine has 8 CPUs, with 6 assigned to F@H. Sometimes during the day things get a bit sluggish, and I Pause for a while, but I was thinking that it might be better to reduce the assigned # of CPUs. Also, at night, there should be no reason for me not to assign all 8 CP...

Most of the time my Machines" tab shows only running WUs, but several times I have seen a "Resources not available" status on an unstarted WU. Other WUs are using all of the resources that are available. https://i.imgur.com/R293o4L.png Should I leave the WU alone and let it start up w...

Not obvious, unfortunately. I’ve known this for months, yet still get surprised occasionally during testing. I asked Joseph to add a note to web control. The reason I said I should have thought of that is that I had a problem with another web site that was solved by lowering shields, so it should h...

Oh - thanks!!

I should have thought of that!

Hi there!! I installed the 8.3.18 client and started it up - I see the icon in the tray, and it says "Folding active". My computer CPU is at 94%, vs 5-15% when I pause the client. When I go to the page https://v8-3.foldingathome.org/machines it says "No folding machines found. Login o...
