iGPU offload for FAH CPU core could give upto 20% speed improvement. So if 4 core 4Ghz CPU does 100k PPD then with iGPU offloading could be max 120k PPD total.

Maybe iGPUs < gen 9 can still be used to accelerate FAH CPU cores in future by using offload?

The Jetson Xavier GPU is not so powerful anyway. But maybe there are plans to use iGPUs and such slow GPUs as accelerator for CPU slots? Then also an ARM CPU FAHcore could use the Jetson Xavier GPU as accelerator?

nvidia Jetson Xavier seems to have ARM-CPU and CUDA GPU. You can install the FAHclient for ARM but I think FAH will only run on X86 CPU for CUDA GPU work units? And are there any ARM-CPU work units?

Does this give performance improvement for both Nvidia CUDA and AMD OpenCL with FAH?

That sound good is it reproducable with other work units too? Then this really would be a recommendation to update Windows 10 to 2004 or newer. Is the option enabled by default or the users need to switch it on?

Linux is faster than Windows for FAH and also has lower pcie requirement. For gtx 1060 you can go with pcie 3.0 x1 risers. But e.g. RTX 2080 it would bottleneck some, so for very fast GPUs you would go with pcie 3.0 x4 on Linux. Anyone tested pcie 4.0 x1 risers yet with very fast GPUs? For 6 GPUs I ...

If virus mutates then it will be after many people have got the vaccine. Because then current corona virus cannot spread anymore easily and only the mutated corona viruses survive. Then we adapt the vaccine to mutated corona virus and next season this game repeats. The mutated corona virus maybe is ...

So this FAH error was really a hardware issue.

If you want to do experiment you can try to revive your old GPU.

This is more a theoretical issue as you would not expect your own cloud instance to be evil and attack your PC running FahControl GUI. But if you update to FahClient 7.6.21 or later then you are also theoretical safe.

You can also try to run 2 work units in parallel on the same GPU to help with small work units not able to use full AMD GPU.

How much faster is Linux compared to Windows for the new GPUs?

If this is a single error then you can ignore it as the core restarts itself. But if you get this error more often then it needs to be checked.

If you get more of these errors you can limit your FAH CPU slot to use less threads like 14 or 12 temporarily. But is should get fixed on server side...

In Germany the new vaccine centers get ready til Christmas. But vaccine is limited to necessary professionals and corona risk group first. It will take the whole year 2021 to vaccinate the entire German population. Currently we have a lockdown light were all restaurants, bars, cinema, clubs... have ...
