Use incognito mode

lilac vine Mar 14, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

i think ill just leave it for a bit because my points per day on a 2080 and 8700k are currently 4714

#

lol

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

i think something like this would be sufficient

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

You need to have the username, team number and PASSKEY entered to get decent points, you get bonus points after 10 successful WU uploads

#

@buoyant valve Dont use PCIE riser with folding

lilac vine Mar 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

well a few hours ago i was getting 260k estimated per day just from my gpu

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

you will get like 50-75% less points @buoyant valve

lilac vine Mar 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

now its using 1.4% of gpu lol

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

what is the point of points anyhow?

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

Without being able to see what's happening you have no idea how to sort the problwm

#

@buoyant valve to make you fold harder than your friend

lilac vine Mar 14, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

are they not a pointer of how effective your shit is?

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

They are a numerical value awarded to you based on the amount of work your systems have done. They exist as humans are so competitive its unreal

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

considering its just gonna be a server for that alone its gonna be set it and forget it

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

Like I said, don't use risers, especially 1x risers

#

you need 8 lanes per card minimum

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

that just means itll be limited to what 4 cards? wouldnt using 8x risers for an additional 3 remote cards be useful?

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

no because you will lose 50-70% production on the cards over 1x

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

i said 8x risers not 1x

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

You can use 8x risers but FAH is so latency sensitive its unreal. I personally wouldn't trust it for Core 22 especially. It should work most of the time but the likelyhood of slots failing is much higher. With that said, it should be fine for the most part.

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

well the original thought was to have 3 mounted to the mobo in the 16x slots and to populate the rest of the slots to the remote bays using 8x risers but if that wont work then i guess ill just get a shorter case and go with just populating what i can

#

so which is more effective? boinc or FAH?

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

So im using the FAH thing, but its not able to pick up my gpu, any help?

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

@buoyant valve Depends on what area of science you ar e wanting to help

#

I'm the folding team leader so I am obviously going to say F@H

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Ok so it still wont detect my 1050 MaxQ gpu

#

even tho its on the supported list?

stark bough Mar 14, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

damn i want a 24U case

#

kept on running into full size ones. i cant fit thouse, lol

oh thats nifty

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

so anyone else find themselves with the "No WUs available" log error?

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:54 PM

We are hammering the servers that hard that they are running out of WUs to offer.

This is the default teams graph

also a good thing as this is a participation drive and not a contest :p

rich depot Mar 14, 2020, 7:56 PM

And this is our graph.

Quite a number of other teams are seeing similar gains so yes, the PC community has answered the call of the scientists

If you have any gamer friends please do ask them to join team LTT

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 7:57 PM

i cant get my gpu running either

Lets see how hard we can push this

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 7:57 PM

whats the team number for LTT?

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 7:57 PM

I gotta go guys sorry, @rich turtle can you help?

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 7:58 PM

yeah I was having issues from last night so I'm assuming that a lot of machines got put online

thanks spectrum

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 7:59 PM

doesnt even pick it up

📎 unknown.png

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 8:00 PM

you should be able to set it up under configure in the advanced control client

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

i tried

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

delete all the slots and add it manually maybe?

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 8:00 PM

Error: No available GPU

#

How can i manually add it?

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

have you updated the nvidia drivers

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

yes

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

it's all under the slots tab in the configure window

soft fox Mar 14, 2020, 8:02 PM

It wont pick it up

#

even by making slot 0, it doesnt detect it

spare glen Mar 14, 2020, 8:04 PM

very weird. other than those basics I don't have much more

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 8:09 PM

@stark bough you could check craigslist, thats where i got my racks from

#

@stark bough mine were $40 each

stark bough Mar 14, 2020, 8:14 PM

@buoyant valve Someone was literally giving away a full size rack but I had nowhere to put it

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 8:15 PM

yeah a full size rack wont fit in my room, short ceilings suck

#

mine are 30u

#

and they arent really deep enough

warm plaza Mar 14, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

I'm showing no WUs for my CPU now

buoyant valve Mar 14, 2020, 8:24 PM

@warm plaza they are out of WUs so their server keeps crashing with all the requests for work

warm plaza Mar 14, 2020, 8:25 PM

Okay, alternate question, can a Radeon HD 6950 do anything folding-wise? It shows up in the list of devices but I get errors when it tries to init

Just installed it F@H, it was able to get one for the cpu but the gpu keeps trying to conect a 155.247.166.220:8080 and its returning a HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE anyone else having this issue?

reading up I guess I'm not the only one struggling to get GPU work for F@H

timber grove Mar 14, 2020, 10:20 PM

no i have a gpu sitting around waiting for work

cloud flower Mar 14, 2020, 10:20 PM

so that aside, I do still have a question if I may.. I've added LTT's team number and it seems registered to it however on the panel it doesn't load the info. Pic:

Been like that for 6 hours now

CPU isn't struggling to find work, only GPU and of course the stat pages and above ^

Does the actual program open, if you're on windows.

cloud flower Mar 14, 2020, 10:21 PM

Yip, opens, been working with cpu, got some work for gpu earlier today. 4-6 hours ago

i wish they would make a covid-19 selection so we can just work on that

cloud flower Mar 14, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Yip.. I understand it would take time to push an update (cause apparently the drop down selection is coded in, not refreshable/changeable at will without an update) and they wanted to get us on covid-19 as fast as possible but really... it's been long enough now

well, F@H main stats page finally updated for me

do you have the folding power set the medium or full?

upper shuttle Mar 14, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

full

#

does it matter which work you are doing?

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

it does - different projects do different utilization

#

though I've had some use 40% utilization according to windows and still my GPU was at the maximum temperature and clock speed sooo it was not indicative of "working hard"

upper shuttle Mar 14, 2020, 10:58 PM

oh and, im trying to connect my other pc to a client, and it seems like its stuck on connecting

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

that's happening to everyone - folding has had a 4x surge in contribution from a week ago - their servers for downloading new work units are not always responding

it eventually gets one

upper shuttle Mar 14, 2020, 10:58 PM

i mean, adding a client to the client list

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 11:06 PM

yeah so after finishing latest cpu unit, no CPU or GPU wu's for the last hour

#

did we win folding? did we fold all the things? or is it just their servers are derping due to the load

maybe, but I literally folded 16 years ago, then started again yesterday, so I don' t know that much

cloud flower Mar 14, 2020, 11:07 PM

but technically there IS a post from one of the Dr.s at the University stating that we'd taken ALL work units.. and that they were working on adding more

#

so kinda? guess we won in that weird way

timber grove Mar 14, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

most peoples PPD will be lower than other peoples due to them having better systems and how many work units you do will affect you PPD

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 11:08 PM

@timber grove I mean PPD that is tiny fractions of what I see other people talking about, on similar hardware

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 11:09 PM

so I guess I'll wait and see what it gets

frozen oxide Mar 14, 2020, 11:10 PM

like there's no point in repeating work someone else might do, unless they crash or shut down and never do it

cerulean oriole Mar 14, 2020, 11:11 PM

in a week while we sit idle for the next roughly six days

At least now we know where all the WUs went 😄

now my cpu is waiting for a work unit

same here, turned it up and got me a GPU WU. so watching a chill rimworld stream on twitch while my gpu seems to lift off any moment 😄

cerulean oriole Mar 15, 2020, 12:15 AM

my GPU has a work unit and it's a core22 test benchmark?

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 12:16 AM

I got one of those after my undervolt crashed my GPU yesterday

fierce steppe Mar 15, 2020, 12:20 AM

Yeah I've got a Core22 test benchmark WU as well

I wonder if they're just sending those out when there isn't any other available projects

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 12:23 AM

if you right click the tray icon and go to advanced control

try and do the "finish" button to finish current workloads and not leave them hanging I guess

north forum Mar 15, 2020, 12:25 AM

yea

#

will do that when i go to sleep, so it will finish current WU's but not get new ones

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I just booted my machine which crashed last night, limited it to half the cores, so it can finish the workloads it committed to (it still needs tweaking it's not a stable machine, but that's a project for another day)

#

it had both cpu and gpu workloads from last night, while my beefy video editing machine is like... plz give me work plz for hours today

From a bit of googling it seems the viewer hasn't worked right for a while, though I thought I could remember it working a few years ago

On my Radeon VII i'm seeing like half the PPD estimate doing only 14310 WUs

My old roommate sent me that pun when I told him F@H was doing covid lmao

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 1:30 AM

no it doesn't - that's just a bit of luck tho

but many people aren't getting new jobs at all for hours at a time on either their CPU or GPU or sometimes both the last 6 hours

I managed to get a few covid wu's yesterday

huh, should I turn SLI off?

my second card is only at like 4%

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

afaik F@H does not benefit from SLI - there's a post about it

#

and instead run it on each GPU individually as separate cores

#

...presuming you get WU's

fierce steppe Mar 15, 2020, 1:31 AM

Yeah, SLI doesn't work...
Run 2 slots one for each GPU and they will work on projects independently

should I just leave SLI alone then?

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 1:33 AM

then you probably just don't have a work assignment for the other GPU - most people aren't getting them at all the last few hours

Is it bad to have PBO2 on while doing CPU folding?

when my recent wu loaded it said 24 hours at first, but now that it is going at it, the time is down to 1.5 hours so thats nice

@void lynx my single GPU 1080ti is at "5%" utilization in windows and hitting 76C so I don't think it's doing "little" work it's just little as how windows chooses to interpret it - compute is different from rasterization

Guys if you want Task Manager to show your GPU usage while folding you need to change one of the graphs to show CUDA usage

are all cuda cores the same? Or perhaps same inside a single 20xx line of gpus?

it does by default

You can right click the CPU slot and set it to Finish, then when it is finished go in to the configuration settings and remove the slot

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

it's worth noting that it takes a whole CPU core almost to feed the GPU worker with enough data

which is why some people with 4 cores but 2 GPU's installed were seeing 50% usage earlier with no CPU slots running

i know my folding at home web control used to work but now it broke so yeah

mystic hollow Mar 15, 2020, 5:42 PM

<gpu v='true'/> is one thing, but also needs something like <slot id='0' type='GPU'/> for it to work

it also needs opencl lib to be installed in OS

(for the GPU folding to work)

how can i exclude gpu0 but not gpu1?

mystic hollow Mar 15, 2020, 5:43 PM

@split cipher can you use fahcontrol ?

if yes, then it has options like this

so opencl-index and cuda-index might help with that

no idea how that translates to config file, let me check

    <cuda-index v='1'/>

fahcontrol is a separate dpkg for debian systems, no idea about arch

mystic hollow Mar 15, 2020, 5:50 PM

@split cipher 1) first you need to enable remote connections. for that open /etc/fahclient/config.xml in editor and add lines like this (change the IP range if needed) :

<web-allow v='127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255'/>
<password v='password_of_your_choice'/>```

@LinusTech It appears the global folding efforts have exhausted the projects they've been able to setup, or overloaded the servers, because the client shows no work available for anything.

Thank you for bringing this up. Why you might ask? We are sending so many passkeys out that @Yahoo and @Google are treating us as a spam email server. It's also in the FAQ https://t.co/ZF7GJ3h7qZ

might move the GTX1060 or R9 380X to the server, but unsure

yeah, i 'cancelled it' in official way, so the WU is back to pool

@mystic hollow does it matter how fast the jerbs get done at all

@tough trout if you don't do it before Timeout, then the work will get assigned to someone else, so two people will do the same work

@tough trout Not really, but as long as it hits the deadline. It’s all about that score though

ahh nice, is it always 5 days like that?

stark bough Mar 15, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

They send out several copies of the WU.

#

Usually if multiple people can replicate the simulation independently, they can refine their models and predictions on what drugs they can use to change the folds

On my Define C build, I was feeling the exhaust and I was like “wow, it must be super hot in that case”
But Mainboard is 26, CPU/GPU is 48, and ai realized that probably 90% of all the heat generated is leaving through that one rad

@split cipher it's fine CPU jobs are just bonus fluff - even a 16c/32t can't beat even a GTX 1050 for points - gotta get dem GPU jobs

there are a few production jobs that run on CPU's that produce data that eventually makes GPU jobs if I understood yesterday's update

imagine there's a cake eating context and our team has to eat the whole cake- they cut the cake into small pieces so our team can finish the cake - each person is working on finishing a cake piece

and once one cake is finished what happens, how is the next "cake" made?

scientists / researchers have to come up with problems/experiments to be solved

it says for cpu, but it is running on my gpu

hmmm

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

which is what happened yesterday basically they ran out of problems to hand out - and a lot of people had cake pieces they hadn't finished but

#

cake is not the best analogy now that I think about it because we have to hand work back and I don't want to extend this analogy to stuff we'd get out of processing cake

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 8:47 PM

okay saving my analogy - they hand out lots of flour&eggs and we have to all go home and bake cupcakes in our own ovens

#

for a big cupcake sale at the end they'll have 10,000 cupcakes

(oh I just realized why we are talking about cake XD

#

I will be sad if the 108k points arent accurate

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

depends - they are dividing it by time so if you get it done in the same amount of time as it thinks it will now then it will be close

i wish i could put my desktop on folding, but it doesnt detect my GPU 😢

#

i guess this is what i get for hackintoshing lol

frozen oxide Mar 15, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

it's a bit weird points system really because faster GPU's not only get more points for finishing the job faster but also can finish more jobs - so a 1080ti vs say, a 1050ti not only gets double the points per job but finishes each job in 2 hrs instead of 4 so it actually makes 4x the points per 4 hours - I think that the time-based bonus should be much lower TBH
