Now it is stats.foldingathome.org that has an expired certificate. Expired Thursday Jan 2, 2020 4:06:06 PM. I thought using the "Let's Encrypt" system was supposed to make these renewals automatic. Otherwise, certificates that are only valid for 90 days are a real pain. - Dave http://dmear...

I started seeing this same issue yesterday, on 2 machines. I restarted folding, and they started reprocessing the same unit from the beginning. The unit was not downloaded again, it reprocessed the existing unit. Today, these 2 machines were stuck in exactly the same way, and they were joined by 2 m...

Thanks. Would the checkpoint files be state.cpt and state_prev.cpt?

Well it looks like it was a real problem after all: [12:44:58] Completed 1277502 out of 250000 steps (511%) [13:04:31] Completed 1280002 out of 250000 steps (512%) [13:24:07] Completed 1282502 out of 250000 steps (513%) [13:43:38] Completed 1285002 out of 250000 steps (514%) [14:03:11] Completed 128...

... Even accounting for the bonus on the Amber, that is a big hit. Keep in mind that Amber are bonus WU. p1738-9 are good old classic Gromacs ... no bonuses here (not a bigWU and not a special project). As I understand it, the Amber bonus is a factor of 2. Dividing 230 PPD by 2 gives an expected no...

Is 1738 also 57 points? Yep. Yet another 57 pointer. Did you get this WU today? Or was it downloaded earlier? One of the machines on my team started working on it last night. The points seem kind of low. That box has been getting about 230 PPD on the Ambers, but is only getting around 62 PPD on thi...

Is 1738 also 57 points?

The first time it was a little over 5 hours. It tried to send unsent work units at four hours so that part of the program was still alive. There was only one FahCore_a1.exe process running which usually means trouble. The processes did not respond to normal kill commands, so I had to use kill -9. On...

One of my Linux boxes is trying to process Project: 2605 (Run 7, Clone 506, Gen 8). I have tried twice and each time it hangs right at the start of processing.
