Hmmm ... Very helpful to know it's not just me. And just to put the barista-grade fern on top, I had two of these low-PPD 18251 jobs running when I went to shut down the devices this morning. Ordinarily I try to limit folding to 10pm - 7am local time, (9 hours/day) when electricity is at the cheapes...

I am not fussed about PPD in general, but lately my three RTX 2060s are getting Project 18251 jobs that run for around 10-11 hours and are showing around 500K PPD performance against the usual 1.5-2M PPD for these devices and their settings, on other projects. Have just updated to latest NVIDIA stud...

Project 17648 has no description.

@capejohn31 Some useful information I received from Foxter about achieving nearly 100% folding performance from NVIDIAS GPUs at set to run at <100% power. This might help your power supply to cope. : Too big units, comparing to just finished ones Post by Foxter » Tue Jul 05, 2022 9:38 pm @appepi I a...

For more than 2 years I have been folding with three Asus Turbo RTX 2060 (not super) - all bought second-hand on eBay - for at least 9 hours/day and with no other load - without any failures so far. I also use other GTX 10xx GPUs intermittently, and in all cases I use ASUS GPU-Tweak II or III with a...

Better late than never? ... But thanks for asking because it led me to re-find a reddit post from Joe_H 5 years ago explaining " ... just add the option "pause-on-start" set to "true" using FAHControl's Configure. The FAHClient process uses almost no resources when folding i...

z805_W7 again, re KB2533623: it was installed on the W7 I was using, on 16 Nov 2018.

Update on the Z800/X5620 test with W7. The first CPU job (A8 core) finished OK, putting Donor z805_W7 on the board with 7,595 points, and now the X5620 appears in the LARS CPU database at 1978 PPD per logical processor. There was a snag with the concurrent GTX1080 GPU client, which hung at 1 second ...

Hi barebear: Out of curiosity I installed the outdated version of foldingathome from the link you gave, using a 2011-vintage Z800 that has a minimal 4-core (8 thread) X5620 CPU (released Q1 2010) whose Geekbench 6 performance (1 core/Multicore)) is 364/1223 and thus similar to but lower than than yo...

A2 : Because big.LITTLE architectures sucks on FAH and require user optimisations ... If you were planning to upgrade your CPU for FAH, I think you should go with an AMD one as they don't use big.LITTLE architecture yet. The LAR-using folders seem to agree with your choice, since there's N=7,538 da...

OK. Before moving on, if yous are paying attention you will notice two oddities in the "Modern CPU" data, namely: Q1: How do you get 32 logical processors out of 24 physical with the i9-13900's? A: Because only 8 have dual threads, Q2: Why are the PPD's so low for the i9-13900KF versus the...

I was inspired by this debate to document my own reasons for shutting down CPU processing on my elderly HP Z-series workstations, even though they have 1 or 2 6-core CPUs and thus 12 or 24 logical processors available. I will start by documenting the Geekbench 6 (GB6) performance and Folding PPDs of...

Well, there was a time when Bill Gates was interested in CP/M too.

I agree that it is at best discourteous when beneficiaries of donated time and money - electricity and computer use costs both, after all - fail to provide a project description. That being said, this biology stuff is not in my skillset, so I stopped reading beyond the title a long time ago, and I t...

... The newest LAR Systems dark mode Chrome extension for Folding@Home has a rudimentary time-of-day setting which you can use from the browser, instead of setting up scripts in the OS. This time-of-day setting issues a "start" and "finish" command at the specified time, but if ...
