Folding Forum

Never occurred to me they hadn't written cores for ARM but I guess it makes sense given how few people will use it. Kinda surprising they have an ARM port of the client at all really. I mean if they don't think its worth supporting Metal on MacOS, then what chance does Linux on ARM have.

Any chance of RustiCL support in Asahi Linux? I realise this was discussed before and the MESA drivers considered not good enough, but this may be different on Asahi which now has OpenCL 3.0 support?

I consider this definitive; dig down to individual GPU pages will show Points Per Watt. https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/overall_ranks Its not always, I found my PPD tanked if I left Chrome open running that extension so I do not contribute to the page any more. Though right now, that does look ...

I wouldn't have expected using onboard graphics to slow down the main graphics like that. The main graphics usually slow down if the CPU is overloaded, as that workunit needs a dedicated CPU core. What's the load on the CPU? Are you folding with that too? It could be starving the CPU of memory band...

That's good to hear, as I have had this problem a lot but not usually quite this severe. As such I suspect it may not be limited to just that one server, with any luck the developer will find a fix that may improve the others too.

Things seem to have recovered.

Also not sure what this is about, is there still an issue where if you specify a preferred cause it fails to fall back to anything else? 17:50:00:WU01:FS00:Connecting to assign1.foldingathome.org:80 17:50:00:WARNING:WU01:FS00:Failed to get assignment from 'assign1.foldingathome.org:80': No WUs avail...

You misunderstand my point, this is so I can easily compare the performance between different hardware in an OS agnostic manner. I already have multiple scripts to partially achieve this by pulling the v7 client data from each client, alongside nvidia-smi writing to a shared folder, then creating a ...

I was just wondering if anyone has considered adding support for reporting current power consumption of GPU jobs? Would it even be possible to include CPU too? I've been able to hack together stats myself by just looping a script calling nvidia-smi and writing to a network share, but it would be gre...

From what I can gather the lockups are not a memory problem, its because I have an early 5950X which has quite a few reports of having an iffy voltage curve, so can lockup when idle. So far if I don't CPU fold it crashes randomly, if I DO CPU fold its been perfectly stable. It seems worse since I sw...

Yeah the CPU estimate in v7 tends to be fairly accurate, the GPU less so. This seems to be down to delays in the server actually verifying the result and so you lose a little credit during that time, and given GPUs score so much higher it can be a big discrepancy. What would be useful is if the UI a...

The interesting thing I found is I had to disable PBO on my 5950X due to instability and suddenly CPU folding is having little impact on GPU. :/ Makes me wonder if I was hitting a memory bandwidth/latency limit of some sort? I built the system when 3600MT RAM was still a bit flaky so only bought 320...

I emailed the dev. Nice to see someone trying Asahi. I’m still waiting for Asahi to go to fedora, myself. Yeah I typically use Fedora for its bleeding edge support, so Asahi kinda makes more sense anyway in that context. Seeing as I've always used KDE as my desktop, there's not really any benefit t...
