Folding Forum

The gpus.txt file may get damaged if the client is started before the system has proper internet connection. I usually wait with logging in until the network symbol on the login screen shows the network is up.

Might this help? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2502436

Hmmm... I don't really watch utilization numbers. I think that may have (more?) to do with the number of atoms in a project - lower numbers won't keep all cuda cores busy.

Hey Nicolas If you frequently see 'attempting to restart from last good checkpoint' and then see the job continue, that may indicate the rig needs some maintenance (e.g. cleaning), or a possible hardware issue. I saw those messages now and then on another rig than my main one, but after a folding pa...

Oh wow... this is coincidence. A similar issue with 16780/17/0/107, and I'm not the first who encoutered this either: https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu#project=16780&run=17&clone=0&gen=107. I literally ran thousands of jobs on this machine since the last time jobs blew up (and that was n...

See below the full log for this particular job.

Hola,

So far I've done 120 jobs from P18237 succesfully, this particular one is the first one failing.

I don't know the science behind the cores and the jobs. If this project fails more often on your machine, while other projects all run fine, it makes me wonder what it's doing that's so special...

Hi,

Job https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu#proje ... e=0&gen=71 is failing all the time on different systems, please pull it

Technically, an SSD wears by write actions. Fah writes a bit of logging and job/checkpoint/result data, but not excessively so. Pesonally I don't worry about it. When running Fah on a laptop I'd worry more about cooling, and with an older laptop if it's fairly clean inside (too much dust with cause ...

If it's not related to patching, but to (re)boots, the next question will be: what version of F@h are you running? Can you post the top 100 or 200 lines of the log (also see viewtopic.php?t=26036)?

Each card will work on it's own unit ~ having them work together on the same unit would be both more difficult and really inefficient. Each step in the process needs the entire status of the previous, so the GPU cards would spend more time talking with each other than actually calculating if they'd ...

All credits are in now Many thanks, guys!

That points to a server issue. Can you look up in the log to which server it tried to upload? I can't help with alerting an admin/researcher to check the host, maybe someone else can.

On Debian based Linux (including Ubuntu and Pop) first install dkms, then (re)install the Nvidia driver and have it register with dkms. After that, when the kernel is updated, the driver is automatically recompiled for that kernel. dkms is a standard package, so you can install that with apt-get ins...

The job results are most likely logged, just not collected by the central server. It'll be a matter of restoring that connection, and then the points will be assigned. It has happened before. Someone just has to nitofy the people involved... As I understand there is monitoring, but different parties...
