Folding Forum

Thanks for the replies. This works, sort of. The most obvious problem it seems to ignore <cpus v='12'/> or <cpus v=12/> with or without the tick marks. It uses 31 of my 32 cores. I don't understand something about allowed-origins -- I should think it could accept a CIDR mask like 192.168.0.0/24 inst...

I got a new computer and thought I'd make Folding@Home the first service I'd get going on it because (as I recall from the other one) getting the NVIDIA software to work was painful and, well, let's get it over with. I see that a great deal has changed. Here's where I'm at. I have it running, and by...

Thanks much. Added it to my notebook. The sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev step is what I was missing.

FAHClient is chugging away trying to get an assignment. I guess the server's down.

Thanks again.

So FAHClient finds the GPU and it finds CUDA, but not OpenCL. But /etc/init.d/FAHClient start I think it is complains about respawning too fast, and FAHClient complains about some database being locked. It all exits in a couple minutes. I have no idea what's happening. I had thought OpenCL was a sec...

Ah! Thanks. I would not have thought it.

I have tried using telnet as well, from the local machine, and from another on the LAN.

I'm folding in a Dell T7400 with two Xeon processors (8 cores) and an NVIDIA 1060. I have a 6 core CPU slot, and one GPU slot. I'm seeing the GPU running at 85%. What would be reasons it isn't closer to 100%? t [trl@svr2 ~]$ nvidia-smi Fri Mar 5 15:32:03 2021 +---------------------------------------...

@Bruce -- yes, exactly. The correct term (I have learned) is "Driver Pack". You can install only one NVIDIA Driver Pack and the one that includes the NVS 290 driver does not include the GTX 1060. I think what NVIDIA are doing is making sure their legacy drivers work with newer Linux Kernel...

@JimboPalmer Yes, thank you. I have one coming if I decide to give up entirely on the Q 290. Which seems likely.

NVIDIA say this: "When using two or more NVIDIA cards in the same system, both cards need to use the same NVIDIA driver to avoid conflicts." [URL=https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2280] They don't quite say "you can't install two different drivers" A customer (M...

> Out of curiosity, why don't you want to use the GTX 1060 as the display? The most immediate reason is I don't have a DVI-D ==> VGA adapter for the KVM switch ;-) I don't have a straight DVI-D cable either. But I was poking around the X configuration, and I see it isn't configured to use the 1060 d...

I'm hoping someone here will know how to solve this. On CentOS 8 I have a machine with two NVIDIA cards: a GTX 1060 for folding, and a Quadro NVS 290 for running the display. I know the Quadro won't fold. I managed to get the 1060 driver installed, and it's happily folding. I THINK the 1060 installa...

I'm trying to use FAHClient on the command line to send commands to the running service. Nothing seems to work, but I don't get an error message either. I thought maybe the output would go to the log, but no. Hints? [trl@svr2 fahclient]$ sudo FAHClient --send-command "simulation-info" [sud...
