Okay, the log shows what I expected and the iGPU is definitely not supported. v7's log would at least also show the unsupported GPU under the hardware configuration section. With v8.3 web control it may show up on the machine configuration page grayed out, hovering a mouse cursor over it would give ...

Please post the beginning log section to confirm the hardware that the client detects. But if I looked up the correct iGPU information, the UHD Graphics 730 is not supported for folding. It is from a generation of iGPUs that Intel removed hardware support of FP64 processing and provided it with soft...

One thing that was not pointed out when this approach was mentioned back in 2021 is that the cpu-usage option is a legacy holdover from a decade ago. It was only supported by the folding cores that used a single processor for calculations. With the cores meant for multi-threaded processing it only l...

You can just install 8.3 over the existing 7.6 install. The installer will read the config.xml file for settings and use most of them. v8 stores its settings inside a client.db file instead of config.xml. The 7.6 FAHClient executable will be replaced with the v8 fah-client and FAHControl will be rem...

18429 is a continuation of other projects in the 1842n range, the link to the description may be missing or broken. There is this description from others in the series - https://stats.foldingathome.org/project/18420. The Project Summary page provides basic information on active projects - https://ap...

Besides a system sleeping, I have seen clock skew reported on a machine that had I/O stall. In this case the ribbon cable connecting the hard drive to the logic board of a laptop had gone bad, replacing the cable fixed the problem. There were reports in th system log of delayed reads and writes to t...

A - The HD Graphics 630 is at about the minimum Intel iGPU that can complete WUs on time, but there often are none of the smaller projects they can do available. It took specific drivers with full OpenCL support downloaded from Intel to allow folding on one of these in the past, I am not certain wha...

About the only thing I am seeing is that over the last 2-3 weeks a couple thousand more clients became active doing folding. Depending on what GPUs they are bringing with them that might have increased the demand for WUs suitable for high end GPUs such as the 3060 and 3090.

...and are not public beta releases, just candidates for that.

Welcome to the folding support forum. You will be able to run folding on individual machines, but MPI interconnects over ethernet are not fast enough for the folding core processing. The inter-thread data reconciliation would just take too long and slows processing way down. The folding core needs t...

Read the third post in this topic - viewtopic.php?t=26208, and provide the PCI ID number for the L40s. Post in a new topic in this sub-forum.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

Thanks for posting the solution you found in the time between your first post and when I approved it about half an hour later. It may help someone else who runs into the same or similar problem.

V8 is faster on Apple Silicon, because the client and cores are compiled native. To clarify, the v7 client doe not have the necessary options to identify an Apple Silicon processor to the Assignment and Work Servers to download the native core. So the Intel core ends up being downloaded and used wh...

No. Those values of a minimum of 3 minutes and maximum of 30 are coded into the client with a default of 15. Changing that value in FAHControl only effects CPU project WU checkpoints. They do not apply to GPU folding where the checkpoint frequency is set by the researchers for the WUs of a given pro...
