Folding Forum

On some work units, after the release of the new CUDA-enabled core, I'm experiencing a lot of coil whine on my Asus GTX 1080 ROG Strix. The Moonshot sprint WUs produced some slight crackling in my headphones (PCI-e soundcard, Asus Strix Soar) but the card was quiet from outside the case. With a diff...

I'm sure he's not talking about folding, but about rendering. Simplex0, the viewer does not show folding in real-time, it renders the checkpoints (viewer frames) and interpolates between them to make it look smoother. The proteins have gotten larger but the viewer is still as efficient/inefficient a...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to folding but was somewhat surprised by my PPD with a UVOC Vega56 Pulse. PPD depends on the project but I have been averaging between 1.1-1.35M PPD with about 180W peak consumption. Is this typical or did I win the silicon lottery? The silicon lottery has nothing to do with ...

Simple tip, ditch OneDrive altogether. I have never been as annoyed with anything Microsoft as I was when setting up a fresh computer a relative bought and everything was synced to OneDrive...

40 Mbps won't cut it, sorry.

The kind of people who need to be told that scientific software will heavily load their computer are also the kinds of people who ask questions instead of reading FAQ or who attack the project because their pride and joy overheats but plays all their games perfectly . Very Much True. Running FaH ag...

These quick steps should get you started with folding on the Vast.ai platform. 1. Create an account on Vast.ai and add some funds. There should be a $1 free bonus when you add a credit card for the first time, even without adding any funds. 2. Setting up SSH - Download PuTTY from here: https://www....

It's that simple. I used the nvidia/opencl:devel-ubuntu18.04 image for the instances.

I don't know the technology behind it, but you rent an instance and SSH into it. Then install F@H like you would on Linux. An interruptible instance is up for bid for other people while you're renting it. That means you can get outbid and your instance will be paused until the higher bidder has fini...

You can make a lot more than 10M points with $20 if you go for the interruptible instances. I made 2M points with just $0.97 out of the free $1 trial.

Remove all CPU slots except <slot id='0' type='CPU'> Then add <cpus v='6'/> Your config should look like this: <config> <!-- Client Control --> <fold-anon v='true'/> <!-- Slot Control --> <power v='full'/> <!-- User Information --> <team v='251999'/> <user v='vdvogt'/> <!-- Folding Slots --> <slot i...

You will earn less points in total if you split it.

From where did you get your info? Here, for example: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/06/amd_sued_cores/ . "In fact, the Bulldozer chips functionally have only four cores — not eight, as advertised." You should only have one CPU slot and instead configure that slot to use the preferr...

Hi ! Thanks for replying. I already tested thoses values, but in this case, the CPU frequency increase so much and the average load remains around 50%... I don't want to burn my computer with folding process… I do not find any solution to decrease the load on my CPU... I think this issue is similar...

It's been several days now that the GPU has not received a WU so I'm sure there is something else up. Pause the GPU slot and resume it. That will at least reset the retry timer. Right now it's retrying every 6 hours. Also, take a look at this thread: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=74&...
