Absolutely. It's just too bad the software isn't more up-to-date and that there's not an easy to use, built-in guide to help users to even realize they *can* make it do better, as well as actually doing so. It just sucks to think about how much less work is being done because of all the default, ine...

Maybe I'm overestimating the scale of impact from the outdated code, but it seems, especially with such a large number of computers being used, that the project would benefit hugely from prioritizing the updating of the code to make the most efficient use out of users' hardware. Leaving it using the...

Ah, ok. Well, it seems it's finally using the GPU now, so I removed the CPU slot altogether anyway.

Just to chime in - I've been wondering abour running BOINC and F@H at the same time. I'm sure there will be a heavy load on the system but I'm OK with that during idle time. I just don't want them choking one another for resources. It would be ideal if there were collaboration between the apps so t...

I think I spotted that you are using 15cores in your cpu slot ... that may not be a factor in the waiting for a GPU download situation but if you search for "prime" or "large prime" you will should find a number of threads with detailed explanations of why this is not necessaril...

Ok. Pretty sure they are from WU, so downloading Nvidia drivers now to try. Thanks!

Looks like it's trying but there's no work for the GPU? 01:08:47:Saving configuration to config.xml 01:08:47:<config> 01:08:47: <!-- Folding Core --> 01:08:47: <checkpoint v='10'/> 01:08:47: 01:08:47: <!-- Network --> 01:08:47: <proxy v=':8080'/> 01:08:47: 01:08:47: <!-- Slot Control --> 01:08:47: <...

Thanks for the answers, makes sense about splitting the work due to workload shortages. I am going to assume you meant Folding@Home (F@H) folders/teams. There is no overlap in the Work Units (WUs) sent to each folder. Every project is split into WUs that is easier for folders to compute. Each of tho...

Trying to donate some computer time to the COVID-19 calculations, but I have some questions, both specific to that and about folding in general: 1) Since there are different folding groups, does that mean there's overlap and therefore wasted resources in doing calculations? 2) In trying to ascertain...
