FAH stopped folding

Post by Konan »

I came into work after this weekend and my client seems to have stopped folding. I have rebooted the machine and tried pausing it an restarting and it seems to be stuck. I have included my log file from after I restarted the machine. Looking for any suggestions as to what may have happened and what I need to do to get it working again.

Thanks
Joel

I should probably give a little more information. The issue I am having is for the cpu. I have the gpu paused since I cannot work on the machine if it is crunching. The client tells me the cpu is ready in the folding slot window and it tells me in the work queue window "Download".

The download is shown as started on getting a WU for your CPU slot, but there is no further information in the 15 or so minutes of log after that.

There is a known issue with the network code in the folding client, it can sometimes fail to retry a download or upload that fails for some reason. If this happens the client will just sit there and never retry the connection. It is more commonly seen when there are network problems. When this happens the only way to get the download or upload to resume is restarting the FAHClient process whether by rebooting the system or manually stopping and restarting that process.

So restarting FAHClient would be my first suggestion. If that takes care of it, then you should be good until whenever next this problem occurs. Things that can interfere with your connection with the WS involved include interference on a wireless connection or heavy traffic on your network or your local connection with your ISP due to streaming video or torrent sharing.

Restarted the machine and it is working now. I restarted it before and it still sat there. Must have had a networking issue when I did that.

Thanks for your help

Though this isn't the issue you asked about, I would consider configuring your GPU slot for idle=true. With that setting, the GPU should pause whenever your mouse or keyboard is active but it should fold overnight (even if nothing much is accomplished during the day). I would also set max-packet-size=small so that the servers will assign you WUs that have relatively long deadlines, which would be appropriate for your part-time GT 610 GPU.
