Good catch. I don't use multiple groups so I didn't test that. I always just specify group as an empty string.

If paused is set to false, then it will try to download a new unit no matter what the value of finish is. And you can't override that using just the state command because going from paused to fold will, annoyingly, clear the finish flag. I think it would be fine for lufah to have that feature althou...

Huh, I forget how I did it then. Maybe I just used 8.4.9 for cbang when building the 8.4.10 client? Either way I was able to build 8.4.10 a few months ago, or whenever the hip commit was made (it was shortly after that).

Since those were just examples it was easier for me to just remove that dump example. The state command runs app.setState(state) which will run setPaused(false) if state == "fold", setPaused(true) if state == "pause", or insertBoolean("finish", true) if state == "f...

It's buildable, you just have to checkout the 8.4.10 tag. I've tested the code with a dummy core on 8.4.10 and it passes the correct arguments when enabled. Of course the dummy core does nothing but print out the arguments it was given, it can't actually fold. ;) But at least the client part seems t...

It does support going straight to pause to finish but only if you adjust the state. I checked the code and directly adjusting the pause and finish flags is exactly what using the state command does (see Config::setState() in src/fah/client/Config.cpp). There are no side-effects. Good point that it m...

OP, the solution to your problem is to send a config command instead a state command. Here's a super simple Python script that will change the state from pause to finish atomically (without first going through fold). The script takes one optional argument which is the group name. If no argument is g...

Sorta. It sends commands to clients using the undocumented api that web control uses. It doesn’t login to an account or use the node system. How undocumented is it? Is it possible to somehow find some information about that? Completely undocumented but not at all secret. All of the API is handled b...

I think that code is already written for 8.4.10 and can be released at any time.

Yep it is fixed. Just got the points from a 17265 unit.

I don't think GPU vendors "hobble" their FP64 precision. It's true that each double-precision unit will have a 1:2 speed ratio compared with each single-precision unit, but these cards include more single-precision units for FP32 than double-precision units for FP64 because single precisio...

AMD has HIP out. It is now down to us to implement it. Initially core25 was supposed to be hip. Due to issues with other stuff, core26 was born, which fixed some issues, but had other issues, again HIP integration to backseat. Core27 then was thought to have HIP. But it was pushed without hip to ma...

https://scorpuk.co.uk/.images/5000-series.png Average PPD's from Folding.LAR.Systems Running cost for 5090 taken from metered computer over a day and averaged out. I'm presuming no diff in PPD between 8GB and 16GB! DOH - Cant believe I missed the info on 5060Ti above. :oops: Just need costs now :D ...

I came up with a way to optimize project allocation by changing only the client without needing the server to make any changes. If the client downloads a project that does not fully utilize the GPU, it can then download a second one to run in parallel with MPS. Because it gets to find out the projec...

Oh I see. Then AMD must be overstating their FP32 figures, or perhaps Nvidia is understating theirs! 5080 is 56.28 TFLOPS (360W), 7900XTX is 61.39 TFLOPS (355W). At least officially. That led me to believe that, even with HIP, there was some overhead that caused it to perform more poorly in folding....
