Looks like there is a small bit of work out there, but now I'm getting authentication failures.

Hi aardWolf, Something you might consider or look into: 16:59:09:WARNING:WU00:FS00:Failed to get assignment from '171.67.108.200:8080': Failed to connect to 171.67.108.200:8080: Operation timed out The fact that this one "timed out" sounds correct for your description of the ports being bl...

Ok, I powered off, switched the power supply off and let all residual energy drain. After restart I removed the work folder, deleted the queue.dat, machinedependent.dat and unitinfo.txt file. This time, the steps seemed to have worked and I am getting an expected download size of more than 512. Than...

So is there anything else I can try? There haven't been any software changes on this box and now it can't seem to pull a BA WU. This has been going on for a couple of days. Server still says 16 cores but can't seem to give my 24 core box a correct assignment and delivery. My 64 core boxes seem to wo...

I think the problem still exists.

Earlier today, my 64 core boxes picked up SMP's but are now working on BA WU. The 24 core box can't seem to get a BA WU. Still trying to download 512 byte 8105, over and over.

Finished my SMP WU from a few hours ago, but when I switch back to BA this is all that I get ( over and over ): [23:49:18] Trying to send all finished work units [23:49:18] + No unsent completed units remaining.

Just found mine doing the same thing on an 8101.

Receiving payload ( expected size: 512)

Couldn't shake it by deleting the unitinfo.txt, queue.dat and machinedependant.dat files. Gave up and set it to SMP.

So why do you think that it is only using 3 cores? At 95% it seems you are using all 4 cores for CPU folding, plus the cpu cycles needed to drive the GPU folding, plus run the operating system. The GPU folding and the operating system will interrupt the CPU folding when something needs to be done an...

I just saw this thread resurrected, and wondered if there was any significant change in drivers or cores that would affect the lower-power AMD GPUs. Also, does the GPU core still rob performance from the SMP core? So yes, there has been some development! The new GPU core 0x17 is based on OpenCL and...

My memories of 7.3.6 is that the GPU won't fold unless the power slider bar is run up towards the high setting. Haven't seen it mentioned in this thread, but something to check.

Jim,

I haven't run my patches yet and I see an NVidia optional patch sitting there. It might be an old one that I never applied since it says it's release date was Oct 2013. Do you see an "Optional" driver update on one of the systems that you haven't patched?

Thanks for the info P5-133XL It looks like that is my issue. At first only the Linux box with the GTX570 was having the issue, but now my Linux box with the GTX580 is also exhibiting the issue. And I see that the server making new WU is the only server supporting Linux GPU. So they are happily await...

I realize there were earlier GPU assignment issues, but this seems to be different. Maybe not! But this is what I keep getting on a Linux box: 06:37:56:WU00:FS01:Connecting to assign-GPU.stanford.edu:80 06:37:57:WU00:FS01:News: Welcome to Folding@Home 06:37:57:WARNING:WU00:FS01:Failed to get assignm...

So is this an "availability" problem? Or an assignment server problem?

The assignment server seems to send me to 128.143.199.96 after about 2 BA WU. Then it gives me 2-3 SMP WU when BA WU ( 128.143.231.201 ) shows availability.
