Folding Forum

I wouldn't have expected using onboard graphics to slow down the main graphics like that. The main graphics usually slow down if the CPU is overloaded, as that workunit needs a dedicated CPU core. What's the load on the CPU? Are you folding with that too? It could be starving the CPU of memory band...

That's good to hear, as I have had this problem a lot but not usually quite this severe. As such I suspect it may not be limited to just that one server, with any luck the developer will find a fix that may improve the others too.

Things seem to have recovered.

Also not sure what this is about, is there still an issue where if you specify a preferred cause it fails to fall back to anything else? 17:50:00:WU01:FS00:Connecting to assign1.foldingathome.org:80 17:50:00:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from 'assign1.foldingathome.org:80': No WUs avail...

You misunderstand my point, this is so I can easily compare the performance between different hardware in an OS agnostic manner. I already have multiple scripts to partially achieve this by pulling the v7 client data from each client, alongside nvidia-smi writing to a shared folder, then creating a ...

I was just wondering if anyone has considered adding support for reporting current power consumption of GPU jobs? Would it even be possible to include CPU too? I've been able to hack together stats myself by just looping a script calling nvidia-smi and writing to a network share, but it would be gre...

From what I can gather the lockups are not a memory problem, its because I have an early 5950X which has quite a few reports of having an iffy voltage curve, so can lockup when idle. So far if I don't CPU fold it crashes randomly, if I DO CPU fold its been perfectly stable. It seems worse since I sw...

Yeah the CPU estimate in v7 tends to be fairly accurate, the GPU less so. This seems to be down to delays in the server actually verifying the result and so you lose a little credit during that time, and given GPUs score so much higher it can be a big discrepancy. What would be useful is if the UI a...

The interesting thing I found is I had to disable PBO on my 5950X due to instability and suddenly CPU folding is having little impact on GPU. :/ Makes me wonder if I was hitting a memory bandwidth/latency limit of some sort? I built the system when 3600MT RAM was still a bit flaky so only bought 320...

I emailed the dev. Nice to see someone trying Asahi. I’m still waiting for Asahi to go to fedora, myself. Yeah I typically use Fedora for its bleeding edge support, so Asahi kinda makes more sense anyway in that context. Seeing as I've always used KDE as my desktop, there's not really any benefit t...

If electricity is too expensive, consider solar power. You can make your own power 10 times cheaper than buying it from the grid. You're not giving them a profit or paying for the power losses and maintainance of miles of wires. But don't sell excess to the grid, here anyway they pay you a tenth of...

Same problem on my Mac Mini running Asahi Linux. Works fine in v7, but this error in v8.

Pretty sure I had it working on 8.1.11 months back. Seems to be a server-side issue (kinda obvious from the error message) as neither 8.1.11 or 8.1.18 works now.

When I run the CPU on Folding (or another project), I don't see GPU Folding slow down unless I overdo it. Leaving a core or three free is sufficient. The easiest way is to watch the temperature and/or usage of the GPU in something like MSI Afterburner (works on non-MSI cards, and also monitors the ...
