When FAHControl shows 99.9% completion and doesn't move, it's the sign that the WU is taking more time than expected to progress ... it could be because of an issue (core crash) or because something is using the system more than usually. Gromacs doesn't like when something disturbs its threads ... ...

I use advanced control 24/7/356 and tbh have never seen such behaviour .. I wonder if your script and maxing the cpu as you do is maybe the cause of the issues with advanced control? Irrelevant; I shouldn't've mentioned it (people always jump to blame the one odd thing). Happened long before I did ...

I run a lot of F@H PCs around my house in the winter - if I'm going to heat it, it may as well do work first. Surprised this isn't more of a thing. ;) Anyway, on relatively frequent occasion, I'll check in on one, and it'll have a slot constantly showing 99.99%, unknown ETA, and a completely insane ...

Installed 470 with mhwd, no cuda package installed (never had) but now cuda seems to work! Idk what happend, but as far as i am concerned i have the same setup when it was failing. Wait, how do you know CUDA is working? Does the "configuring CUDA context" phase succeed, or is it falling b...

OK. I'm back with a little more experimentation. First, should mention I was only using Ubuntu for folding because I'd found a slight performance advantage to it that made up for its significant difficulty in setup. That now no longer seems to necessarily be the case - especially if you tweak the pr...

holy crap if any of y'all are thinking of e-wasting (read: sending to the grinder) any full size nVidia GPUs newer than Kepler, send it my way... just retired my GRID cards because of aforementioned issues. But if it's still new enough to fold on, geez, cmon. One of my rigs (the GRID system) doesn't...

https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=37545 craaaaaaaaap :cry: welp it was a nice run I suppose. My just-as-old AMD Radeon R9 280x card in my MacPro1,1 continues to fold though :lol: for now! Getting OpenCL fallback working properly (for multi-multi-GPU systems) would be nice though, bu...

I use 2x nVidia Grid K520 cards (each 2x GF 760 equivalents - which are Kepler) in one of my room-heating folding rigs, running Ubuntu 20.x LTS, and after a series of normal WUs, suddenly I started getting errors on each: "Error compiling program: nvrtc: error: invalid value for --gpu-architect...

Didn't I say to stop focusing on gpu=false? I said it 3 times now. Stop. Talking. About. That. FLAG. The only thing the client configures is what bus and slot it assigns to a WU slot. Guess what? Those are configured correctly. Know how I know? IT WORKS NOW, WITHOUT CHANGING THE CONFIG. You've been ...

Nope, see the thread (again). This is a long spent detour that doesn't address the problem. Look at the config. The flag is in there for a reason, and the GPU slot is configured correctly for slot/bus (that's what I went through above! It's configured correctly and the client even "thinks"...

Note the config: 05:21:38: <slot id='0' type='GPU'> 05:21:38: <pci-bus v='9'/> 05:21:38: <pci-slot v='0'/> 05:21:38: </slot> This corresponds to GPU: 05:03:33: GPU 2: Bus:9 Slot:0 Func:0 AMD:5 Fiji XT [Radeon R9 Fury X] That's the only GPU I want folding. Due to issues with the auto-detection, the g...

An option to disable specific hardware such as a GPU has been requested as an enhancement. But for now detected hardware will be automatically added when FAHClient starts up. The option is (almost) available. You can disable automatic GPU reconfiguration during restart: * Start FAH so all GPUs are ...

Yup, that is all of my problems in a nutshell -- though my concern is with the faulty nVidia slot, not the Intel one - the client adds the Intel one but disables it, so it's not affected by the "fold all" button. Seems this has been a requested "enhancement" (I semi-apologeticall...

I have a laptop, with an external Thunderbolt GPU. It's hard enough getting that to simply work properly (spare me the apologist "but that's a complex setup and it's weird and you're a strange person" stuff, please - it should work, it does not work, I make it work). Problem is, folding ca...
