Work unit stuck at 76% with GPU

[andreassen51]

Hello, my GPU unit stopped working at 79% while I turned away for a minute.

The card is barely more than a year old (RTX 2070). I've done three reboots, tried X-Plane for half an hour. The harddrive isn't full, btw I have four of them, an ssd and nvme so I'm not too bored..

What's boring is getting the GPU to start from 79%. Perhaps I'd better erase all the files and get it working from scratch again?

I've tried to attach my Log.txt but I can't find a button (like the paper clip).

Regards.

The rest of the log was gone but the GPU is supposed to be WU01, the CPU slot 1 and 2 are WU00 and WU02 here.

I've got it figured, I have the web interface in Firefox (yeah Linux) and had left the power slider to medium.

The power slider didn't change anything for hours. The GPU would randomly stop until I've set the Full Power.

For those who's running 6 GPUs would the Power to Medium run half the GPUs? I think it will run my one GPU half the time to ease up on the electricity. I was about to turn up the heat anyway, we heat electric here in Norway.

Based on the configuration you posted, I suggest the following:
1) Please only use 1 CPU Slot, i.e. keep the CPU with 8 CPUs and remove the 4 CPU Slot by first setting it to Finish and then once completed, delete that slot. Reason is that you're system is competing with itself for folding causing an overall slow-down in performance
2) You can remove this setting as it doesn't do anything <gpu-usage v='80'/>

The Medium will cause your GPUs to fold but will only use half of your CPUs. If you want your GPU to fold only when idle, you can right-click the GPU Slot in FAHControl and select the option "On Idle".

[andreassen51]

Yes, I've considered 2) after I've had it up and running. I was waiting for weeks on end for work units and now it seems we're well fed (I can only speak for myself, I'm very well fed).

For the 1) I had a mere four cores back in the days and had problems setting up (did you mean competing). Yes, I can delete the old settings, I've been too lazy and it sounds like a good idea.

I have the web control page in Firefox and right clicking the GPU icon brings up the context menu to "Save as", bookmark and all that so I'll leave all to full, and make do with 8 threads.

[Edit:] There's a When button in plain sight that sets folding to when-idle.

[PantherX]

Yep, I meant competing. Fixed my post.

In windows, you will have to open Advanced Control (AKA FAHControl) which is an application by itself. By default, you should see the F@H icon in the bottom right of your task-bar (you may need to click on the little arrow to open the over-flow try) and if you right-click it, select the Advanced Control and follow my instructions.

I've been using Linux for some time and it was a fiddle to set up the CPU cores. I've played with the idea of 3x 4-threads and thusly ended up with 8+4 and the cruft.

I'm quite apt with grepping the log files in place of progress bars. I'll run the folding for now and hope it isn't totally wasteful.
