CPU Not Folding

Post by CACruse »

Hi,
Running 7.4.4 on Windows 10.
I does not appear that my CPU (i7-4790K), is folding, only my GPU.
Log attached.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

You have run into a problem that exists with the released version of the folding client. Use of CPU setting that are multiples of 7 is no longer happening with newer CPU projects, and very few if any WU's are left that will be assigned to that value. The client was coded when the restriction was on primes and their multiples that were 11 and larger.

There are a few ways to fix this. The easiest is to just move the slider from Full to Medium. That will reduce the request to CPU:6. Or you can set the CPU thread count to 6 for the CPU slot using Configure in FAHControl. Another option is to use the version of the client currently in public beta, 7.4.16. That has code to negotiate with the Assignment Servers for a WU which will use as many of the core threads available, up to the number requested.

I will set thread count to 6 and see if that solves the issue.
Thank you,

You may need to pause the CPU slot and then set ti back to Fold afterwards. Sometimes the client immediately takes the change in request for number of threads, but other times the slot may stay stuck on the value set previously.
