haha take that @ENTERPRISE

 

 

We are no longer friends

 

In all honesty though I have not had a WU come my way in a little while lol.

nvm. delete

Could be worse. You could be folding on a computer with a 1080Ti and another computer with a GT 1030 and are only getting WUs on the computer with the GT 1030 like @Alex

I can't get Work Units on my gaming PC at all with a Ryzen 3600x and Navi 5700, but my work laptop with an i7-8850H and Mobile Quadro P2000 can get units here and there no problem, but sounds like a bloody jet engine while Folding...

That's why I'm not folding with my CPU anymore. The insane heat output and noise is not worth the extra 20-30K PPD. Plus I'm averaging like 100K more PPD when not folding with my CPU.

We can have good talk about it this weekend :thumbs_thumbsupup:

 

For real though, if you haven't restarted your folding slots in a while, your countdown timer is probably waiting a good 4-8 hours before it makes a server request attempt. You should probably pause and re-fold your slots if you haven't already done so.

I'm coming for you E ?

Yeah I should have done that, I was working so did not really think about it lol

Isn't everyone ! lol

Quick question, I had a GPU OC that obviously messed up a WU. So now I have a WU that is stuck in "Send" mode. How does one fix that again ?

I can't remember if I ever had that issue before. I think you can in to the Appdata folder for FAHClient and delete the unit there, you won't get any credit or anything, but then when you restart FAHClient, it shouldn't find the bad unit and start a new one.

[Simmons]

I mean, lately a WU getting stuck in send mode is probably just a result of overloaded stanford servers.

I've had that. I can't even get it started now. It won't connect to the client now for some reason. Not sure if that's an issue on my end. I should be on a little over 1M points for EHW so far, the stats page doesn't seem to be updating very often.

[ENTERPRISE]

Thanks guys. After leaving it a good while the WU eventually sent anyway and the fun continues lol. Might see if I can get my work pc folding.

[Alex]

Finally getting some WUs to my 1080 Ti instead of them just all going to my 1030! So let's see if I can catch up finally :angry_suck_kr:

No catching up to me please...I am not a 24/7 folder :sad_sad:

Did you ever pick up any work? The only WUs that Navi can fold are core_22 WUs. I know that Stanford is prioritizing distribution of the Covid19 WUs which are all based on the new core_22. I imagine your laptop CPU and Quadro are picking up regular core_21 WUs in addition to the core_22 WUs.

 

Not sure if you have the amdgpu-pro drivers, but you will need those in order to run OpenCL projects in Ubuntu.

I gave up on folding in Ubuntu, was getting nothing and computer was just sitting their idling at 100 watts. And Laptop was getting way too hot and fans clicking at high speeds so that wasn't quite feasible right now.

Quick question to the Folding Guru's. Quadro's. Our work PC's have some entry level Quadro's, namely the P400. However when I install the Folding client it does not pick up the GPU. So I thought it was no biggie and tried to manually add it but when I try, nothing happens and it just drops back to the main screen of the Advanced viewer. Oddly enough it did give me a error before about supported GPU's (I think). Any idea or best way to force the client to use the GPU ?

Sometimes the Manufacturer Driver's aren't fully supported by application sometimes. Also I can't remember if Stanford has an up-to-date list of compatible hardware. All I can find is this old list: https://foldingathome.org/faqs/gpu3-...ed/for-nvidia/

Yeah may just have to do without it as it wont work lol, wow yeah that is an old list. This is a more up to date one I guess : https://foldingathome.org/support/fa.../requirements/

The P400 is whitelisted, but being a 30W card, performance if you can get it running, is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of a GT 1030. Here is a link to the latest list of GPUs that are whitelisted for F@H - https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt

 

If you want to post the beginning of the log, we can see what drivers are installed and if the client is picking up the card.

[Andrew]

Nice, I've been getting WUs pretty consistently now. I've nearly broken 2M points.

Nice find, I will add that link to the OP actually.

 

As for the log, it speaks very loudly. Looks like my client cannot actually get a hold of that TXT file for some reason.

This could be possibly due to my works firewall. It is downloading CPU WU just fine but I think .txt files may be getting eaten by the firewall. Do you think I can download the txt file and manually drop it in the correct directory ?

You can just grab the txt file and put it in the F@H data directory. After you get the file just stop and then restart the client.

 

*Edit* If you can't download the file, you can just copy the list, and then save it as "GPUs.txt".

Btw, we are targeting to get into the top 800 folding teams as our first objective. That's what we need to see a folding user list on the extremeoverclocking site
