Folding Forum

Fahcontrol is not a requirement for folding so it is safe to not install it. You could pull the repo from github and apply the pull requests and get it to work that way. Alternatives are to install the python2 package for Ubuntu until python3 support gets implemented. Yup I'm pulling the modified r...

Awesome. Thanks panther!

Please note that unfortunately, the CPU usage of FahCore_22 is caused by the implementation of Nvidia's OpenCL implementation. The implementation uses spin-wait (polling) and will always use 1 CPU for that. I would suggest that you can pass your feedback to the Nvidia developers so that they can up...

I understand that the previous LTS are still supported but my work requires me to compile with the latest compilers rather than gcc 8 on 18.04 so I have not choice but to use the bleeding edge ubuntu and dual booting 18.04 and 20.04 is eating into my limited space. That's why I was hoping that the c...

Also I have tested out Ubuntu 20.04 beta and it seems that the canonical team has depreciated python2 in favor o...

Hi Panther, thanks for the welcome! Yes I totally understand that, some people might have very little storage space or low speed but there are some with huge storage servers and high speed as well, which is why giving the option for people like us an option to host a work server would be awesome. Fo...

Those are some very valid points. Maybe the work servers could be distributed but the FAH team would still maintain the stats server and assign server and those server would have their IP address hardcoded into the distributed work server code. The distributed work servers could work in a way like t...

Long time lurker, first time poster here! I just watched the fireside dev chat and I understand that the suggestion for a distributed file system was suggested to combat the lack of space for the completed WUs but what if the work server software was distributed as well such that people all over the...
