Re: No bonus

In short, either you have failed to finish a lot of work units, or they have dumped due to failure. If you don't use HFM or check your logs, you could potentially have a lot of errors you have never known about. Depending on how long you folded on your older gear, it's possible that they happened ju...

Re: How do I set the number of cores to use

I'm assuming you are using an operating system other than Windows?

Re: Folding priority on multi use machines?

Your wife is worth more than Folding. Let her have the priority. I'm not going to let anything get laggy for her, though she might not even notice if I changed things. I know when I put the GPU in the system she didn't even notice that it was quicker as compared to the APU in the machine. Since she...

Folding priority on multi use machines?

Just question for those that use their folding machines for other regular tasks. I'm seeing a trend lately that either the newer projects or possibly a change in Win 10 update settings allows for folding to be slowed down greater if running in the background. Our system probably gets used at least 4...

Re: Bad work unit, massive reassignments, ongoing

Yep, the more I dug into those other failures the more I thought something is wrong. Humans and our mistakes, just glad I checked it out after it failed for me. Thanks for passing on the word Joe.

Re: Bad work unit, massive reassignments, ongoing

After a second look I see what you are saying. I looked at the top of the failures and saw the time gaps every 5 failures, and missed that it's still been going out daily for a few months now. Well not maybe instead of egg on my face I feel like I might have lucked into something useful to pass alon...

Re: Points Earned Mysteriously Changed/No Longer Accumulating

There is currently a problem with the 7.6.xx version of web control where it's not displaying points. As far as I know, everything else is still functioning.... https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?p=362161&hilit=points+display#p362161 From my understanding it's fine if you use advanced contro...

Re: Bad work unit, massive reassignments, ongoing

Joe, I suspect they are going to tell us not to worry about it. I was getting ready to head out the door when I looked at it and posted. Just as I was getting ready to power down the monitor I noticed that there were gaps and the assignments stop after a few failed attempts. I suspect it is somethin...

Re: No work assigments...

Yeah, had two in Ready State earlier this morning, ow a different one in Ready. Guess we are near the end of work for F@H… and isn’t just some random problem to be fixed. From my understanding of the system used to assign, it's simply a matter of there not currently being enough work that suits the...

Re: RTX 4090....underperforming?

Interesting catch Lazvon. On my 1660 Super P12424 is one of the most predictable projects, consistent in points returns as well as responding in an almost linear fashion to power level changes. Others seem to be hit and miss, some very stable, some often having a 20-40% points return difference. I w...

Re: Project 12103 taking too long

That should be better information if they have time to take a look. From my understanding the assignments are a bit trickier for AMD GPUs because they use the same device ID for a sometimes broad selection of GPUs. That makes it harder to nail down the specifics of the various species break downs as...

I would suggest you do something quickly with those extra gpus.

It adds up to a lot more science, and the efforts are appreciated...

Re: Project 12103 taking too long

Giving the most information you can is more productive. Answers to uestions such as the below might be helpful to the people making the assignments. Are you folding 24/7? If not, how many hours per day do you fold? Are your gpus or any other part of your computer running power limited or in any sens...

Re: Switch preference to Parkinsons for highest PPD

I haven't really paid much attention to it lately. At times certain preferences might help, but that also depends on the level of hardware you are running. I have in the past used preferences to avoid certain work units that my older gear wouldn't finish on time. Now that I have a newer GPU I really...
