Re: CPU priority of GPU slot (feature request)

I belive this has been fixed. The CPU priority setting used to set the priority of Can you please add an option to set CPU priority of e. g. FahCore_22.exe? It is not that hard to do. This is already listed in github issues, which is where enhancement requests reside until somebody is available to ...

CPU priority of GPU slot (feature request)

Can you please add an option to set CPU priority of e. g. FahCore_22.exe? It is not that hard to do. I have 8C8T CPU with iGPU (which is quite capable for an iGPU) - Intel Core I7-9700K. I can get 100% iGPU load by limiting CPU slot to 7 threads but this wastes 1 CPU core. If I configure Folding@Hom...

Re: Intel UHD Graphics? (gen >= 7)

0x8086:0x3e98:3:1:CFL GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] is already supported. Have you even read what I wrote? i7-9700K with UHD Graphics 630 (which is gen9 iGPU) works but wastes logical CPU to feed iGPU. i5-5200U with HD Graphics 5500 (which is gen8 iGPU) is not supported in Folding@home but works e. g. wit...

Re: Intel UHD Graphics? (gen >= 7)

Can someone please look into implementing similar logic for Folding@home (optional CPU sleeps)? It makes a lot of sense for low-end (i)GPUs. I'm not a developer so excuse me for asking stupid questions. I think a little guidance is needed for who that "someone" might be. Are those recomme...

Re: Intel UHD Graphics? (gen >= 7)

I strongly suggest adding support for Gen8. Example: I have I7-9700K with Gen9 1200 MHz and I5-5200U with Gen8 900 MHz, both have 24 EU. Win10 20H2, distributed[.]net OpenCL benchmark: Gen9 - 194 Mkps, Gen8 - 169 Mkps. What is even more important, Gen8 driver (15.40.48.5171 is the latest at the mom...

Re: red circle with stuck out tongue

Using the iGPU concurrently with the CPU (whether on the same WU or on different WUs :!: ) would compound the potential for heat dissipation issues. Modern CPUs automatically adjust CPU/iGPU frequencies to achieve desired TDP. Please see my benchmarks at the link above (that's distributed.net clien...

Re: red circle with stuck out tongue

FACTS: The Intel iGPs are extremely slow compared to other GPUs. Also if you also fold with a CPU slot, it will slow down, increasing your total throughput only slightly. In other words, don't expect much. Speed it really important to FAH projects and slow GPUs do slow down the whole project. There...
