Re: Thoughts on Apple M chips?

My M1 mini gets 40-240k ppd with bonus. Usually 150k. I expect the base M4 to get twice the ppd. Well anything released in 2024 is going to smash my current chip, which averages 40k! I just have a hunch though the 8700G will still beat the M4, albeit using slightly more power, just due to the FAH &...

Re: Thoughts on Apple M chips?

I have a Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip. I set it up to use the 6 performance cores for folding, and have not noticed any impact at all while gaming in WoW or other games so far. I see a bit higher PPD than shown on the Lars site, but that includes an average over all cores. The economy cores do s...

Thoughts on Apple M chips?

I've been running a Ryzen 3400G CPU for some years now (no GPU), and am looking to upgrade over the coming months. I was originally looking to upgrade to the latest AM5 Ryzen chips (8700G), that is until Apple recently released the latest Mac Mini with M4 for just £600, and now i'm torn! This will b...

Mystery indeed solved (at least for me).... Last WU went by without a hitch!
Sorry for the run-around! :lol:

Re: Problem with WU 18806 (19, 5, 167)

I will have to check this further on my systems as I was running an older release of the v8 beta client. I also saw a memory leak on macOS, that was running v8.3.14 Intel and fah-client had grown to 3.3 GB over a few weeks. As that system has 48 GB of RAM it barely noticed the memory usage. On Wind...

Re: Problem with WU 18806 (19, 5, 167)

FAHClient.exe memory usage is not related to this project. But the reason it crashed might be because you ran out of memory allocation My machine has 16GB of memory, and this WU is the only one where this happens, so there must be some link surely? I see it's the biggest CPU project there is in ter...

Re: Problem with WU 18806 (19, 5, 167)

This project needs to be urgently looked at. Failed on me again, only for my machine to be given another straight after. Note that FAHClient.exe uses a LOT of memory when running this project. 07:09:49:I1:WU23:Project: 18806 (Run 45, Clone 34, Gen 265) 07:09:49:I1:WU23:Reading tar file core.xml 07:0...

If you could report your full system details in this issue tracker, that would be great: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/issues/291 Alternatively, you can list your system details here, in this thread (please include OS + build, CPU, GPU, motherboard and RAM used) Thanks Thanks, ...

Re: Problem with WU 18806 (19, 5, 167)

Thought i'd "re-open" this thread, as I had this WU fail on me today. Unfortunately I haven't been able to copy the logs, but I do know that at around 90% I noticed it had stopped (was monitoring on my phone), and upon checking the logs, "bad unit" was mentioned. Interestingly, b...

Re: Account not replicating - Disconnected

Mystery solved I think! I disabled the Intrusion Detection system of part of my home firewall network, and once I refreshed the phone, it immediately synced! Now just a case of me figuring out what the false positive was that was causing the block.

Re: Account not replicating - Disconnected

Things are getting even weirder. Just tried to start a new WU manually to see if I could start it from the phone. It would start on the phone but not sync on the machine itself (Disconnected). Then noticed I had multiple icons in the System Tray. One said Failed, the other was asleep?, the other run...

Account not replicating - Disconnected

After a two year hiatus, I have returned to folding, and got the latest version installed on my Windows setup. All good on that machine, folding fine. However, I have noticed that my account when logged into on my iphone no longer shows its current status. Yesterday during the first WU I could follo...

Raspberry Pi 5

I've done folding before on a Linux Mint machine, but have had to revert back to Windows, and don't want to leave the machine on 24/7 like I used to, so haven't folded in a while. I'm now considering running it permanently on a Raspberry Pi 5 seeing that there's now an official client for ARM machin...

New Omicron varient

Given the level of mutations that appear in the new Covid Omicron varient, and therefore the amount of "unknown answers", i'm interested to know if the scientific community believe it could be helpful for it to have its own folding projects? Does the folding@home project help in answering ...
