#

it appears if i get that server, im not going to get a WU

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

cool. I'll give that advanced thing a try:
<slot id='1' type='GPU'>
<client-type v='advanced'/>
</slot>
see if that'll get me any funny WUs

#

can't hurt I guess

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

I have been running advanced on two GPUs for a week

#

and beta on a third

#

I've failed one unit out of 100

#

and that was only on the R9 nano which also is loud as heck so I'm not likely to keep using it

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

do they have a list of all client-type values?

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

no

#

there's two listed on that FAQ, beta is not listed

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

yeah i noticed

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

the biggest issue I've had with beta units is that I stop folding in the morning when it's time to work (it's too loud/hot in my office otherwise) and start again after 6pm

#

and the beta units can take 6-7 hours on a GTX 1070 or R9 nano

#

so it's been harder to do "finish" and have it finish its WU's

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

they seem to have a very efficient pause/resume checkpointing mechanism

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

sure, but the bonus points are based on finish time - start time

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

ah

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

so if you finish after a 9 hour break, it's now a 15 hour unit not a 6 hour unit from their metric

#

the bonus points are to incentivize people finishing units and not pausing forever, getting stuff done, not having work tied up on people's PC's for weeks

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

right, that makes sense

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 12:36 AM

Hi all, just joined F@H and was wonder if have to do anything special in the web interface to change folding for Covid-19? since there are 4 other research options but not for Covid-19.

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

set it to "no preference"

#

there's basically 98% covid units currently

#

they are priority anyway

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

ok good, thought i had to do something specific

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

if you set it to cancer or something it will attempt to do cancer first if there is any work available, then otherwise do covid anyway

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

well I just got one after setting client type to advanced. small 23.6K atom unit, but 8 million steps lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:38 AM

yeah the new thing they're doing now with 40x compute power is trying the same protein from more angles

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

honestly doubtful of how well atoms will handle it. you'll need to grab a lot of WUs and they'll take a lot longer to finish than with say, a quad core i7

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:40 AM

I'm going to build them into a HPC (Cluster)

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

also all that will probably be beat by a single 2080ti >_<

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

since we're often limited by how fast they can hand out WUs, a lot of those atoms might end up idle

I am not sure if you can trick it to do that or not... yo ucould definitely run it one client on each system

can one CPU WU run across multiple nodes? I saw it was using MPIRUN so maybe...

This will be a 58 core, 116 thread ATOM CPU lol

@weary epoch I hope so

It's going to be an experiment at least

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:41 AM

it seems like fun

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:41 AM

well good luck with that. if you get it working, it'd be nice to know how much message passing it does (like how much network load there is)

that said though... a 3950x 16c/32-thread is beat by a GTX 1050ti, and a 1070 puts out 4x the work... so chances are a single 1080 will beat the atom handily

which atom is it btw?

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 12:43 AM

so, what power do you guys run, Medium or Full? i'm going to watching some ytube videos or twitch on this computer otherwise it should keep chugging on F@H.

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:43 AM

ONE PSU. They have DC barrel jacks for 12V input

#

Going to do one large rail.

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

@rich depot full, and it won't bother your youtube use - the folding work is lower priority

#

but maybe turn off CPU slot, or limit it to to N - 2 threads so you have some threads for your browsing to feel snappy

n2600 on most of the boards I believe

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 12:45 AM

if i set it to medium it uses 7 cores instead of 8, that should be enough right

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

I was even gaming sea of thieves the other night while GPU folding on full - lost about 30 FPS so I went from 120 to 90 but it was completely playable

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:45 AM

2GB on each board. Some have 4gb

#

They were "scrap" at work, so I snagged as many as I could put in a box lol

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

oh geez N2600 uses the saltwell atom core. that's horrible

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

if pegasus doesn't work.. you could just run a client on each

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Never said they were good lol.. They're painfully slow machines for anything other than industrial applications (which is what we use them for at work)

#

They do all have a legit Windows 8 IOT license though

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

you might even time out if you ran a WU on each. saltwell is like, a pentium mmx

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

So I could do them individually lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

hmmm so if you don't have AVX (doesn't look like you do) you're going to go at 1/4 speed again oof

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

on higher clocks with tweaks of course

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

it falls back to MMX/SSE

#

buut it's not preferred

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Yeah, that's why I wanted to try clustering lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

you could also fold on linux, no windows 8 needed, especially for CPU folding

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Just for shits and giggles

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

you could make a very small image and network boot it

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

I wanted to see how many PPD I could get on a clustered bunch of junk cpus lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

I'm going to hazard a guess at about... 100,000

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

I already get over a million PPD on my gaming rig, so I'm not so much worried about the points, just something to play with on the weekend

#

Well, I would if I could get consistant WUs lol

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

certainly sounds like an interesting setup

#

I'm gonna guess, a lot less than 100,000

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

My biggest holdup at the moment is physical space to lay them out and network them lol

#

And I'm waiting on a package with 30 barrel connectors to build a buss bar and connect to my PSU lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

so a 3950x is 200,000-240,000 PPD

divide by 4 roughly for having 1.6ghz cores and much worse IPC
multiplly by two for having more cores

#

I'm registering my bet at 100k 😛

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

But no AVX, so working at MMX instruction set

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

oh yeah

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Maybe 20k lol

#

We'll see if I can get it working in a cluster..

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

might be faster as just 29 individual 4-thread clients idk

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Maybe.

#

If I can't get pegasus to do what I want, I might just set up a headless PXE with autostart of the CLI client

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

it does need some amount of local storage tho for the work files

#

couple hundred megs

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

RAMdisk

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

each saltwell core can do 2x128b floating point ops per cycle. in theory that's 716.8 GFLOPS, for 56 cores at 1.6 GHz
except the core is only 2-wide, and in-order. so it'll stall on memory access (unless the sibling thread isn't stalled), and FAH is a good mix of int and fp instructions (so you're very limited by the core being 2-wide and in-order)

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

aaand 1050ti is 2.1 tflops

#

and 250k ppd indicated

#

so yeah I think you're probably closer with 20-40k because unfortunately PPD is not linear

#

doubling your computing power gives you 4x the PPD

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Heh, my FX6300 + GTX 750 gets about 85k

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

if even that - I don't think saltwell will get anywhere close to theoretical and probably be even worse than a GPU in that respect, because it can't hide memory latency as well

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

My R5 3600 + V64OC gets 1.2-1.4

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

if I had a pcie slot in which to put my 1050ti I'd be running it, but I don't

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

GPUs deal with memory latency by keeping tons of threads in flight. big CPU cores can speculate ahead by hundreds of instructions past a cache miss. saltwell atom can't do either

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

that's probably 1.1 million for the vega64 and 80k for the r5?

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

Hmmm.. These boards have PCI slots, I wonder what adding a few FX5200s would do (LOL!!)

#

I do have a stack of old PCI GPUs from my vintage computer collection. I doubt anything older than FX would do anything though.. I wonder if a Geforce MX440 would be able to do anything.

#

I have some Radeon HD cards in PCI as well

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

I think you need something from the Fermi generation or after

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

I gotcha

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

earlier GPUs have real limitations with GPGPU work

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

on nvidia it needs CUDA

#

and on AMD it needs OpenCL

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

I think they all use opencl now

#

technically the tesla generation (G80) can support cuda and opencl, just with a ton of limitations. you'd have to use a very old compute model

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

I just mean if your nvidia GPU doesn't list CUDA cores, it doesn't work with folding

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

So pretty much 2009 or newer

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

and if it's older than a 9 series it probably can only do core 21 work

#

while 10 series and up can do core 21 or 22 work

that's 2011 or thereabouts?

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 1:04 AM

so a gpu from 2009 probably won't get anything

AMD picked up OpenCL in '09, that's why I mentioned that year

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:04 AM

it wouldnt let you add it if there was no core for it

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

I believe core_22 can run on older NV card than 900 series...

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

I'm not sure the exact cutoff on core 22

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

because they have serious limitations. like, the G80 (8800 GTX) can't even do double precision

near gazelle Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Someone should drop in a GTX 280ti and see what happens lol

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

but the core 22 work is pretty beefy anyway

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 1:05 AM

Me either tbh... But I'm sure older cards than 900 can, seeing as 21 can run on 400 and newer

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:06 AM

core 22 left beta in december 2019

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 1:06 AM

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:06 AM

first-gen gcn can also get core 22 work

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 1:06 AM

my R9 nano is doing core 22 also

#

but it's slow as heck

#

7 hour WU's

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

as for the gtx 280, it can't do concurrent kernels. so it'll probably be quite slow too

#

well eta for a core 22 workload on the 980 ti is like 2-3 hours

#

not sure why the r9 nano is looking at 7 hours

I found something by accident

#

so firstly that "top" card is thermal throttling, of course... but I had it running in another machine for the past 2 weeks until just now, and it was estimated 1.35 million PPD on that one... running now at 55% power limit dropped it from 1850mhz to 1600-ish mhz and in this setup estimated 1.1 7million PPD.... slightly over half the power usage gives me only what like a 20% reduction in PPD

#

so I might just run it at 55% power limit all the time now... not just because I'm forced to by thermals >___>

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

yup, power limits can give some pretty huge efficiency improvements. even stock, most things are clocked past their best efficiency points

#

because amd/nvidia really care about edging each other out by a few fps

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 1:54 AM

im really grateful for my garage being cold right now

i just went to check and the room is 10f warmer than ambient outside but its only like 48 degrees outside cause it's raining

rich depot Apr 7, 2020, 2:16 AM

@weary epoch 70% power limits seem to be the best balance for my 900, 10, and 20 series cards

weary epoch Apr 7, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

you'll probably have to test on each, but sounds reasonable

#

75% might be a bit past optimal for the 980 ti since it's still well above base (and well above stock boost) at that point. and it's running at 1.1120 v

dang lol thats good then

#

my rx580 is getting 71-76c sitting in a cold room in the garage

#

thinking i might open the window once i cram another rx580 and a 980ti in there cause it'll get warm

hushed bobcat Apr 7, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

They are both 150W TDP

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

don't look at task manager for folding utilization tho

#

use afterburner or hwinfo or literally anything else

hushed bobcat Apr 7, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

Actually Power % on both cards is 82%

#

so they are pulling 123W each

frozen oxide Apr 7, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

yeah... I'm pulling 500 at the wall so probably 430-450 for the cards when efficiency is subtracted? I tested the CPU alone on igpu and it was around 30 watts

hushed bobcat Apr 7, 2020, 3:10 AM

AMD needs to unify their driver for dif cards. on my RX5700xt i have a full power overclocking/temp monitor with power draw metering but on the rx580 it has none of that and the software is totally different lol

I want the power draw stats the software for my 5700xt has xD

My folding@home web control page has broken. I started folding on both my PC and laptop using the same account. They were working fine, my PC had a job, and my laptop was waiting for one, then when I cane back the web control page was constantly reloading on both, but according to task manager it was still running

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

im thinking it might be an issue with the driver revision

#

i thought i used the most recent ones but im not sure

#

there's an update from yesterday though so im gonna install it

#

the software is so different i can't even check to see if they're the same or not

#

it's the installer i thought i downloaded for my 5700xt

#

yea

#

im using afterburner on that rig because i overclocked the gpu from 1365 to 1430

#

would just be nice not to have to run separate stuff

#

the AMD one has CPU stats and then i could replace intel XTU on my screen with it

#

yea thats not what i was having issues with in itself lol

#

i know afterburner has it

#

im just trying to have less stuff open in total monitoring because im running out of screen real estate

#

and also afterburner isn't resizeable but the other 2 are

#

i wish but im not code handy

#

learning disabilities in pattern recognition and languages

#

yea, the driver i used was out of date

#

new one has the new UI 😄

#

at least im p sure

#

waiting holding my breath as it loads, it looks like the same loader

#

already rebooted it's just finishing load, says 5 minutes but the timer is going up as the bar slides further to done xD

#

should be fine timer is going down now

#

lol

#

i think it was angry because f@H restarted when i had paused it before reboot

#

stopped that

#

yea its flying now lol

#

this new installer is super extra, it even has sound

#

and an animated graphic

#

yera looks kinda like an atom with electrons rotating but all red

#

lol

#

good

#

if not then IGP standard is a great thing

#

thankful that they made that a normal feature on every board

#

i had to use it to troubleshot my rx580 rig

#

after i rebuilt it it wouldn't post despite being the same bios/config ect

#

i literally removed the board with ram and CPU mounted and just reinstalled the GPU in slot, thats it

#

only difference was no 950 pro 512

#

using an old 840 evo 2.5"

#

120gb lol i got it for $70 when they were the hot model as a boot drive for rigs like this

#

cool i can see power consumption on both now

#

yea, sometimes you just have to RMA to update or find a test chip

i had a friend do that once

#

no money for a CPU that would work with that bios so they sent it to intel (when they still served a ton of mb direct to us) and they fixed it

MY theory: Fry's is running off consignment and burned all their contracts.
now they're forced to sell perfumes and junk cases.
They are literally holding off liquidation (the last 3 years has been slow motion liquidation) cause they were hoping property values would slowly rise to eventually sell off their stores in prime locations for high density housing ~~for millenials~~

stark bough Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Despite being 17 year old or something at that point

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

yea

#

that is about right

#

they have a couple things that are worth the price but the rest is meh

silver wing Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Bose 301 for surround speakers

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

im not a fan tbh

#

heard them, wasnt impressed lol

#

sensitivity is just to low

#

signal sounds distorted no matter how you set em up

silver wing Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

they are only good for surrounds lol

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

yea basically

stark bough Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

just because he spent a lot of money on it doesn’t mean it’s good. The receiver unit is acting up, and unlike say bookshelf speakers I can’t just wire in the sub to something else to make up for a failed component

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

and even then there's better surrounds for the price

silver wing Apr 7, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

and I mean that in the they are the best I've used for that task way

stark bough Apr 7, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

Bose systems are tuned to their specific setup, nothing else

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

hahaha i mean

#

you can

#

i did that to a bunch of m-audio subs

#

checked the specso n the amp, found a 2ch one comparable, fixed 2 subs in 1 go under my desk

silver wing Apr 7, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

I like the 8 in wide range on them and the reflecting tweeter

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

sounds better now than before

#

QSC RMX850 amp lol

stark bough Apr 7, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

I got a companion 5 from the base. They’re awesome for my computer setup

#

But I cannot see them as good for anything else

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:08 AM

i have enough klipsch pro speakers for a 12ch klipsch system with 6000w of sub@ 105db sensitivity in array, 8x18 4x15

stark bough Apr 7, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

The control puck feels premium AF

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

i just dont have anywhere to run them like that right now xD

i figured i'd LCR my KP-301s (klipsch chorus) and put the 4th as a direct rear and then set up 6 channels of KP-250 (heresy) surrounds and maybe move stuff around, set up 4 atmos and 4 surround ect. but just a dream rn

#

i also have a pair of KLF20s just sitting lmao

#

maybe use klf20 x2 and 301 in rear

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:12 AM

the 2 extra threads doesnt make a big difference

my 8350k 4c4t at 4.3ghz is about the same

silver wing Apr 7, 2020, 6:13 AM

we have 2 actual extra cores

which is why I was expecting ~60k

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:13 AM

i keep spacing on that

4790k is a 4c8t tho

it stops and restarts the WU from last save point

brittle coral Apr 7, 2020, 6:16 AM

My 3800 pulls 120kppd easily when i let it run all day

if i game for 3-4 hours it still gets 80k or so

im seriously considering selling it though and getting a 4950x when they are released

is there a way to set up multiple pc's on the same account?
would I just set the same username and password?

oh, okay, it just does work

hushed bobcat Apr 7, 2020, 6:20 AM

@jade spade yes just set up each clients identity to be the same

I've been in similar situations, try explaining to a friends parents that you need to log into their router to forward some ports.

@jade spade you can get an authentication key and then you can link your PPD to a single account yea

atleast that's what's been recommended here

wish I could put my second GPU in anyways too

#

😅

hushed bobcat Apr 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

@jade spade Setting the Advanced Client Flag in the Expert settings opens your PC up to more WU's, However the WU's are usually more intensive so you want a fairly powerful system to crunch them

jade spade Apr 7, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

ah, well my computer sits here all day wasting power anyways, so it will have time, dunno how to do it either way

the advanced flag is fine if you have any kind of rig targeted at 2k gaming from within the last 5 years tbh

that should open the client and the web interface

I once clicked quit and had to dowload it all again

if you set it to start on boot

even if you dont know where you installed it you can run it again that way

but for the future

remember what drive it's on and go to the folder it's in

you can make a shortcut to the core executable
