Register to get a passkey, that will increase the points many times.

I just recently bought a second hand RTX2070 (it was half the price of a new RTX2080Ti, actually cheaper and 2 generations newer than 1080Ti) and it is good enough and did not put big a hole in my budget. (it was circa 380 euros) If you have very old GPU then its not good. Before this, I had a Tesla...

Linux Mint 19.3 user here. I had troubles too, when I installed this program recently a few weeks ago. i had this error at install: "update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting!" (because FAHclient is supposed to run as a service deep inside Linux, probably something is mi...

Yes, it was finally fixed. My two workunits finally uploaded at today, 06:45 (in the timezone of Fahclient)

Just blow the dust out of the laptop and put it on a cooling pad, and watch temperatures frequently.

Lagging of the graphical user interface is normal (slow scrolling in a web browser for example) while GPU is folding. (at least this is what i saw in Linux, on dual monitors)
Flickering of screen is not normal at all.

What operating system? What connection of monitor, and what settings?

think you need to register your email and get a passkey. That's what gave me a ~ 7x boost in my PPD.

Hi, I have a server workstation with lots of threads. (2 CPUs, 24 threads altogether, but I keep 1 for the GPU.) this is what I see: 12:47:32:WU03:FS00:0xa7:Reducing thread count from 23 to 22 to avoid domain decomposition by a prime number > 3 12:47:32:WU03:FS00:0xa7:Reducing thread count from 22 t...

Hi, I had similar issue on my gamer laptop (core i7, 7th gen) few weeks ago, when I started to fold. Actually, I had to reduce the 4 cpu threads to 2 threads in order to keep cpu from melting. ( and with 2 threads it was still 75-80 C on a cooling pad.) (then I got a GPU work unit too but then remov...

Yes! What do you think, which column could be used to compare to other supercomputers?

I don't know, I'm new to this.

So I see two columns, tflops is 473,938 and x86 tflops is 958,011 and, this is probably an average of the last 50 days. And the great battle against coronavirus was just announced in beginning of march, 20 days ago, and news took some time (a week or two) to spread, and newbies took time to set up t...

Hi, where do you see the overall petaflops of F@H? Really, we together (with all the new people like me recently) reaching close to ExaFLOPS first in history ? That (according to wikipedia) is way bigger than any supercomputer in top500. Big things are happening, and I'm happy to be a small part of ...

At https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats , what does "Has CS" acronym mean? Why are "public" and"beta" jobs the same number? What's the difference? by the way on the page, both these servers have 0 error and >90TiB space (is that the free space on the hard disks wh...

Hi, there is this page: https://foldingathome.org/statistics/ you can find the donor list (it's a zipped text file, 18 MB) You download it, unzip (Linux handles it, for Win, try 7zip maybe), and then you load it to notepad++ and search Ctrl+F for your username (the one you gave to FAHControl) (note:...

Hi, I have the same GPU.
Just click on the GPU task in FAHControl, and then it will show your PPD.
This is typically between 1-1.4 million for my RTX2070. If you have the same number then it should be okay.
(but this ppd number is reduced if you pause the folding)
