Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
SilvioMartin, you need a passkey too : https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/
Your PDF is great for anyone who would like to build a similar system !

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
Actually I am quite sure that I configured all clients to use my passkey. I can find it in the files in /var/lib/fahclient/configs. Can you see somehow that this is not working?toTOW wrote:you need a passkey too

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
FAH intends to make use of whatever hardware is put into production in large enough quantities. The recommend that you use whatever hardware you have rather than buying something you don't already have. Investing in platform X hardware may be more productive than investing in platform Y. There's nothing that can be done about that.foldy wrote:Any PC with GPU can beat that easily.
FAH bases the points on the scientific value of the results, not on some game-like rules that are intended to make things "fair" for your hardware platform.

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
Not sure if FAH uses all cores on the pi, but on my Windows laptop, only 3 cores were active out of 4.
I had to force 4 cores, and wait for the second WU to run overnight, as the first actually was doing 3 threads on 4 cores.

Okay, I give up searching. Do you know this from a public source, or do you have access to the F@H database (or my WLAN)?Knish wrote:yes, 6 systems (5 linux, 1 mac) currently showing as getting the bonus

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
An easy lookup that anyone can use - https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu. Since your folding name matches your forum login, just a copy and paste into the search field.
There are a few other useful apps in that location - https://apps.foldingathome.org.

I didn't know this. Thanks, Joe_H!

My inner monk just wants to see something ARM related.
I was wondering if it was only for me but with looking up Silvios CPUs Im sure now.Joe_H wrote:https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu.
The ARMs are showing up as x86 CPUs.
Is it even possible to add an ARM related record?
Would be a nice feature for statistics.

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
I have some more numbers in average PPD over several FAH-Projects, tested on some of my ARM-SBCs:
RasperryPi 4B (4GB): 1680
Rock 64: 670
Odroid C2: 860
RockPi-4A: 1906
On the RockPi-4A, it runs on all 6 cores, on the other computers, FAH uses all 4 cores. The numbers are with passkey.
But I stopped testing, because I need these SBCs for other purposes.

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
I did get 2 WUs with a timeout of over 2 Days while folding on 3 cores.Foliant wrote:I wouldnt recommend it but im only on 3 cores and the first (and for now only) WU I picked up will finish before timeout.toTOW wrote:Are you sure that the Pi3 is able to make the deadlines ?
Now I use all 4 Cores and the first WU I was getting had a timeout of barely more than one day. I finished short after the timeout. (After 2% i decided to overclock by 100MHz and this did shorten the TPF by about 2 Minutes.)
The next downloaded WU had a very short timeout of just 6,75 hours. I would assume thats even not possible with a RPi 4
Maybe 3 cores yields to WUs with longer timeout?
To determine I will test two more WUs with core count set to 3 - if they can not finish in time I will quit folding with my RPi3B.

Patrick

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
I also observed very short timeouts in the FAHControl tool, which my RPi 4 could not match although they run on full folding power. But this was only indicated in the FAHControl tool. In the log file and here https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu?q=SilvioMartin I could see that I got a few hundred bonus points for these WPs. Maybe a bug in the FAHControl tool?Foliant wrote:The next downloaded WU had a very short timeout of just 6,75 hours. I would assume thats even not possible with a RPi 4
We may check in around 16 hours, how much points CPUid 9B27EB5F3C200C50 earned for 16923 (93, 79, 122). FAHControl tells me, that it would get only the 419 base points. I'd bet a beer that it earns more than 900, like the other WPs, which I checked before.

Re: Start folding with a Raspberry Pi
You awe me a beer. Where in the UK do you live? Here is what the FAHControl tool estimated this morning. Should have earned me just the base credit, because the timeout was already missed.Neil-B wrote:Heck I'll take that bet on the off chance ... a pint of warm ale against a stein of cold lager - got to be worth a shout
And here is what I got for this WP:
