Given the level of mutations that appear in the new Covid Omicron varient, and therefore the amount of "unknown answers", i'm interested to know if the scientific community believe it could be helpful for it to have its own folding projects? Does the folding@home project help in answering ...

The article got published on Saturday 6/11! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/ ... deadliest/ (unfortunately behind a paywall, but I was lucky enough to buy the actual newspaper!). I myself contributed to the article, i'm in the collage of photos, and who's name is Chris. This is a great thing ...

Now currently running 16990. TPF is over 15mins. Looking in the logs, I notice the steps written as 17:10:15:WU01:FS00:0xa8:Steps: first=40000000 total=50000000 17:10:16:WU01:FS00:0xa8:Completed 1 out of 10000000 steps (0%) What does the first line represent if the total amount steps to be completed...

Got the picture now, thanks everyone. Just found where "steps" is mentioned in the logs. Which makes me wonder, if displaying steps in the control panel would be another useful bit of information to have. In-consequential I know.

As a CPU folder only, I was surprised a few weeks back when I got a project that gave 50,000 base points plus, but where the atom count was only above 20,000 plus atoms (I recall being from the batch of projects 16982 - 16994, as seen here https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary ) I was surprised at...

My opinion: Give MeeLee's post (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=37343) a serious amount of consideration, before you make an investment in a "workstation" graphics card (or other product that is targeted towards those users whom are into AI). Mind you, that many of the cards on that list will re...

~1/3rd to 1/4th the performance (based on 1/4th of the shader frequency), usually results in a much bigger PPD drop than that number. Second, 1/3rd to 1/4th the performance, for 1/3rd the TDP, is lower efficiency. The A2000 series is made for 4/8 bit AI calculations (like RT cores), which is useles...

Tesla T4 and its 70W TDP have the same performance on FAH as a 1070 ... does it answer your question ? Good to know, thanks. I was just noting that the A2000 has 3328 CUDA cores, at just 70W. That's way more than the cards you just mentioned. But having said that, I have also noticed the base clock...

Nvidia just announced the A2000 (workstation) GPU which will come out later this year https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-vis ... rtx-a2000/ I'm intrigued by this card, as i'm still yet to buy a dedicated GPU for my machine, but will only use it for folding. It specs out slightly less than a RTX 306...

Looks like there's an issue again with these particular servers. project:16959 run:12 clone:388 gen:78 core:0xa8 unit:0x000001840000004e0000423f0000000c 05:52:18:WU00:FS00:Uploading 5.12MiB to 129.32.209.205 05:52:18:WU00:FS00:Connecting to 129.32.209.205:8080 05:52:31:WU00:FS00:Upload 10.99% 05:52:...

Actually, just realised how to add the command into Startup Applications. I also should add that i've already added "pause-on-start True" into FAHcontrol. Will give that a go later and report back.

I recently re-installed Linux Mint, so have had to re-install everything. By the looks of it, I wish I had selected to start FAHclient right after installation, because now, after every reboot, FAHcontrol just sits at "Connecting". I have to manually do sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start to ...

Do you have the package "ocl-icd-opencl-dev" installed? Does "clinfo" show different info to "sudo clinfo"? Yes I have that package already installed ocl-icd-opencl-dev is already the newest version (2.2.11-1ubuntu1) No difference between "clinfo" and "s...

I use my Linux Mint 20.1 machine to do folding@home using the Ryzen 3400G APU, using just the CPU. I now want to try using the graphics part as well. This requires openCL. You can only get this from AMD drivers, as openCL is not installed by default. Having found that AMD now have drivers for Ubuntu...
