A GPU WU needs one cpu, but some GPU work units will use more than that if they're available - I've had work units with 1 GPU and 7 CPU cores assigned. So I thin the quest Peter is asking is how can you make your CPU cores available to assist a GPU WU but prevent them from being assigned to a CPU WU.

So the default group doesn't get assigned a folding task?

I guess I'll have to try doing this tomorrow.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to understand how this works.

Right, but how many CPU cores would it use? Would it ever go above 1?

But won't that limit each folding task to using just one CPU and one GPU?

No I didn't ask it not to use the CPU. I asked it to use the CPU only to assist the GPUs. I assume pushing the slider all the way to the left means don't do CPU tasks, since as you add GPUs, the minimum increases by 1 per GPU. I think the slider does exactly what it says & sets the number of CP...

On my machine it's intermittent. Sometimes I'll get 7 of the 8 CPU cores attached to one of the GPU tasks, other times the GPU tasks will get just get 1 CPU each and the remaining 6 CPU cores will work on their own task. I just let it do what it wants. But I let my system use all the CPU cores - if ...

8.1.13 works, I'm up & running again. Thanks!

I'm afraid that just resulted in a different error: *********************** Log Started 2023-02-07T22:07:44Z *********************** 22:07:44:I1:*********************** Folding@home Client *********************** 22:07:44:I1: Version: 8.1.12 22:07:44:I1: Author: Joseph Coffland 22:07:44:I1: Org: fol...

Run FAHControl. You can find that in the Start menu inside the Folding@home folder, or you can look in the C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient folder.

Yes. It doesn't know what your passkey is, so it's showing all the points awarded to that user id. AFAIK, the only place you can see the points awarded to your specific user id AND passkey is in the web control.

By changing slot 0 from a CPU slot to a GPU slot while a CPU work unit was in progress, you caused the client to throw away the CPU work unit: [10:40:09:WARNING:WU00:No longer matches Slot 0's configuration and there are no other matching slots, dumping [10:40:09:WU00:FS00:Sending unit results: id:0...

If your laptop tries to switch GPUs while Folding@Home is running, then yeah, I think that's going to result in a corrupt WU (unless F@H is smart enough to pause itself before the switch - haven't tried running it on a laptop myself, so I have no direct experience). Folding@Home doesn't run on Intel...

AFAIK, 7.6.8 isn't defective. I don't know what changes have happened between 7.6.8 and 7.6.9 as the change log is identical for both versions. I have confirmation that the latest stable version is 7.6.9 https://foldingathome.org/alternative-downloads/ Yes? Every installer on that page is for 7.6.9.

There was a PS3 client - I ran it on my PS3 (and in fact that was part of the reason i bought it). I don't recall ever hearing of a PS2 client, but I never had a PS2, so it's not something I would have paid much attention to.
