Welcome!

I've been trying to set my desktop (Windows) up to run F@H and be recognized as a heater in my Home Assistant set-up (Home Assistant OS on RPi). Guides for how to do this aren't hard to find, but they no longer seem to apply. Is there a way to set up an IP whitelist for a LAN IP, so that my Home Assistant instance can send fold/pause/finish commands to my desktop, now that FAHcontrol seems to be gone? I haven't managed to find an option to do this in the web control.

Hello all,

Been folding for about 3 days now with a basic Mac Mini M4 gave it a 12 hour brake in those 3 days and have 14WU’s now.

As far as I know the Mini is already power efficient but would there also me a cheaper option like a budget mini pc/Nuc I can buy to use only for Folding, and is efficient to get as many WU’s in a short time?

Still true?

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/flops/ says:

[quote]Why are the ATI x86 FLOP numbers half of the ATI native FLOP numbers?

Due to a difference in the implementation (in part due to hardware differences), the ATI code must do two force calculations where the x86, Cell, and NVIDIA hardware need only do one. This increases the overall native FLOP count for ATI hardware, but since these are not useful FLOPS in a sense, we did not include them in the x86 count.[/quote]

Hopefully this is just out of date, and should be removed. If it's still true, "ATI" should be updated to "AMD." (And if it's still true, then that's a bummer.) (If it's out of date, maybe it's worth checking if the rest of that FLOPS FAQ page is up to date, since it's linked from a moderately prominent page.)

The "Contact Us" page sent me to the folding forum; I've also posted there. Can someone get in touch with whomever should update that FAQ page?

Hello

I am trying to get back into the fold and hitting some issues -- the doc's seem to be out of date or the versions of linux im using are too new/not optimal/support?

I am trying to setup ubuntu 22.04 or denian 11 containers in proxmox and run a few instances of folding in my cluster

does anyone have a working guide and know how to get allow remote access so they can be monitored and controlled via my windows workstation?

Thanks in advance.

There was a bug with these Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs which can burnout after some time. A new BIOS version fixed it.

[I just looked at the machine details and it's saying the GPUs are unsupported, so there's my answer. I'm posting this anyway to see if there's a workaround or some way to get them added.]

I'm back to F@H after a lengthy hiatus, so a lot has changed. I'm running it (via Brave browser) on a Trashcan Mac Pro, which has dual AMD Firepro D500 GPUs. The F@H client (v8.3.18) shows that I have 2 GPUs enabled, though the client is IDing them as:

Tahiti LE (Radeon HD 7870 XT).

The status monitor is showing that 0 GPUs are engaged.

(Running FaH 8.3.5 in Windows 11, OEM license on my home PC. CPU 13600KF, GPU 7900XT.)

I just got FaH a few days ago, started out without issue. The next day, I tried to start the FaH client and it just... did nothing. Checking in a browser, it either showed the machine disconnected or stuck on "downloading core". I figured what the hell, un- and reinstalled FaH today.

Now, FaH is definitely running. It's hitting all 8 E-cores 100% according to HWInfo and Task Manager, but none of the P-Cores in my CPU are getting hit at all. In the client, this is independent of the allocated CPUs - even if I give it less than 8. Also, the client still shows "Downloading Core" on the CPU.

GPU Compute is at 100%, temps are fine. However, the GPU isn't even showing up as doing anything in the client, even though it's enabled in settings. It's not even showing an active job, core download or anything.

This is independent of the browser used. I've tried Brave, LibreWolf and Chrome. The log file in the doesn't really help me as I don't know what to look for - all I know is it's still tracking some folding progress right now.

So: what's up with the client not displaying what's happening? How do I fix it, and regain control of the folding process?

Hello there. I have a a small problem that is taking more effort than it should to work out. Maybe some of you have some ideas? I'm sorry if it is simple. FAH is something I install and let run when I'm idle, but not actually knowledgeable about.

I am trying to have FAH run at 5am to begin to heat up my room and help me wake up early since I have delayed sleep phase syndrome and heat helps me feel like morning is actually happening.

However, I have tried setting up FAH to run on startup, using my BIOS to autoboot windows 10. But FAH doesn't actually run on startup even though I've set it to. Then, I tried using task scheduler, that will launch FAHcontrol, but it won't connect to the web, for some reason.

Does anyone have Folding at Home somehow set to run at a certain time automatically? Not only would it help the FAH community to have that extra time running, but the heat from my 7950X and 4090 making my room boil be 6:30am would help me get up a bit. Any ideas anyone? Thanks a ton in advance!

Hello,

I just tried to add my homelab server to my folding at home machines but I cannot get the service to start. All I get is the following error message:

Failed to connect to 3.141.166.229:443: Network is unreachable

My proxmox host has a v6 address with a NAT64 gateway on the network. Does F@H not support IPv6 Addressing?

What up dudes!

I have been using Folding@home for a few years now. I get paid out in Bano coins for doing so.

However in the past few months I have noted the rewards in bank coins is getting less and less even though I have not changed to setting on program at all??

Can anyone explain why I'm making next to nothing in terms of Bano coins.

Thanks

So, I've been running my rig for a few days off and on until i realized i had an extra gpu to throw in. everything looked fine but it shows as greyed out and doesn't seem to work. any suggestions?

UPDATE: bios chip is bunk, im going to flash it and fingers crossed i can get it to work.

our 5 week folding event starts next month, sign ups close on Monday, there's prizes.

You need to folding for teamLTT 223518 and sigh up on the Google form before Monday to be a participant. All prizes are random draws from participants who qualify, meaning even if you come dead last you could win a prize.

Cards that would normally get 8M PPD are getting 3 or 4M per day. I setup another pc that has 2x 1M PPD cards in it and it says they might get 250,000 PPD right now. Not sure what is going on. I am using the same account and passcode as always. Not sure if someone else out there is seeing the same.

Thanks,

Hello. I am a 17-year-old student living in South Korea.

I achieved 4 million points with my Xeon GOLD 6138 * 2ea and NVIDIA Titan XP!

I have only started FOLD a few days ago, but I will continue to work hard.

It seems to way underperform as compared to the GPU, and it's running at a comfortable 85C while the GPU is steady at 66. Am I missing something?

What reaserch task has the shortest time to compleat a task for both or either CPU and GPU. I was wonderingg what someopne with not the best computer could do faster to help out more

Not super important, but the current certificates are 640x480 and do not look great on regular printer paper. Is there a way to get a 1080p version? Thank you!

Hello fellows on the glory way traveling

I use F@H 7.6.21 and HFM v10.3.2016. Imgur Imgur When WU finished I can not see it separately in these apps. It shows current WU not previous. How can it be resolved?

Thanks in advance

UPD. *right category is #helpanddiscussion

(my pc is gonna be my heater) . How does one even get paid for it . like . I can't find any tutorial ... How does one go about getting paid . Do i need a crypto wallet ? . T.T thx for any replies :D .

I'm using an older laptop for folding in the background. I just reformatted it to Rocky 8, currently on 8.10. The system has 4 i3 2.3GHz cpus and 11G RAM. No GPU that I can find.

I'm using version FAHClient 7.6.21 in the FAH-GPU image (docker.io/foldingathome/fah-gpu).

It's running the default configuration which currently takes 2 CPUs and not even 500M. Any newer images or configuration updates I can use to make FAH run more efficiently?

Thanks.

I'd like the community's thoughts on why I'm not seeing the performance that I expect from a 4090 and 4070 ti Super GPUs. Because I am an enthusiast and believe in what F@H is doing I built a daily use PC with an RTX 4090 GPU and a dedicated 2 GPU (4070 Ti Super) rig that is not used for anything other than F@H. I decided to track and compare the time it takes each GPU to complete work units from the same projects. Since the RTX 4090 has 16,384 cores and the RTX 4070 ti Super has 8,448 cores (which is 51.5% as many as the RTX 4090 but lets round to half as many cores to make things easier) I think that if both types of GPUs process a WU from the same project then the 4070 ti Super should complete the WU in about twice the time that it takes the 4090. That's not what I've seen. Times are not even close to what I expected. The 4070 ti Supers are completing WUs much faster then expected or the opposite is true: the 4090 is completing WUs much slower. My data collection methodology involved tracking the time to complete at least 3 WUs for each project listed below on each GPU type and averaging the times. I refrained from using the PC with the 4090 during data collection.

Hi all, I asked a question here before about using old Tesla K80’s and seeing if I could prioritize FP64 (I collect old hardware). Anyways, I was drunk and on eBay and bought a quad node Xeon Phi 7210 server. The things pretty sweet and I tested it out on FAH. It clears about 2 million PPD across 4 nodes with HT on (1024 threads). Power is not an issue (cheap + I put solar panels in my backyard). Is there any point in CPU folding or will I be better off using just graphics cards?

Is there an improvement in PPD for version 8. Should I install immediately?

It is getting chilly again so it is time to fold but after installing it on a fresh Windows I don't recognize anything. Advanced control gone? Having to create an account to log in? Pretty much non-funcional web control? Can't launch folding after a restart?

What is all this?
