Folding Forum

Wanted to let the community know that long time forum contributor Jimbo Palmer lost his battle with cancer. He was an active and helpful member here and at the distributed computing fora at Ars Technica. He will be greatly missed. His obit: https://www.wilsonandknight.com/obituary/james-jimbo-jay-pa...

Did they let anybody know they were coming or are we going to run out of workunits like the covid moonshot days?

Point inflation is an interesting topic. As someone who was able to take advantage of a job that allowed me to fold on dozens of enterprise class servers back in the advanced methods big units days, I was amused to see that a consumer GPU could outproduce those boxes that cost six figures. Points wi...

I've got BOINC on my boxes and it will nicely cede the card to F@H when there is work for Folding. I run Einstein (an astrophysics project that sifts through radio telescope data looking for various things) as the work units are not time dependent. Just one way to ensure my boxes are always doing so...

I had a very small (few minute) delay getting work right now as all 4 assignment servers claimed there was no work for my configuration (big Navi). Older NVIDIA box has no problems getting work.

Looks like the logjam has broken somewhat, as the 209.202 server has work.

Best I can say is check both your current log file and the older stored log files to see if you actually had processed a particular WU before. If not, then it is possible particular project(s) or server(s) could have an incorrect setting or bug. Normally the servers will only send a WU out to a par...

These are starting to occur with frequency from different work servers. Not sure if this indicates a problem on my end with something corrupted or on the server end (unlikely). 22:35:58:WU00:FS00:Connecting to assign1.foldingathome.org:80 22:35:59:WU00:FS00:Assigned to work server 128.174.73.74 22:3...

I read the article. As my username suggests, that was my "home" technical news site. I'm pretty sure I joined to discuss Seti@Home. Anyway, Ars is well... I dunno what to call it. A marginally better version of Wired magazine? The article appears pretty low effort, although for the most pa...

I've looked back through my logs for the last few weeks and I don't think I've ever actually gotten a work unit from this server. Based on the hostname, this is Dr. Paul at UI. Is there perhaps an issue with generating work units for these projects? There's obviously a disconnect between what the as...

It would be nice if the "Failed to assign" condition was detected and the assignment server round robin'ed among the other servers. I just got one from .4.210 which isn't even supposed to have work units based on the server status page.

FWIW, this project and its best friend 18449 crashes my windows 10/6900XT box usually at the first checkpoint. By crash I mean black screen reboot. Once rebooted, the project usually runs to completion.

Its stuck. How do I dump it manually? Thanks.
