Folding Forum

Okay guys, it works fine now. I feel that I didn't do anything... This is really odd. If problem re-occurs, I will post it here. It has just managed to successfully fold a unit! Bruce, if I throttle down the CPU, would it cause a unit to fail to fold? This is the only new thing I have been doing rec...

I dumped the WU, now is has gone into a loop. It keeps saying "FahCore returned: INTERRUPTED (102 = 0x66)". 12:09:36:WU00:FS00:Starting 12:09:36:WU00:FS00:Running FahCore: /usr/bin/FAHCoreWrapper /var/lib/fahclient/cores/cores.foldingathome.org/Linux/AMD64/AVX/Core_a7.fah/FahCore_a7 -dir 0...

dmesg shows one instance of segfauling. I don't know how relevant this is.

Okay,I tried changing the CPU maximum frequency, and frequency governor, and suspending / restarting the machine, it is not causing any problem. I will keep an eye out.

Okay, I have figured out how to change the CPU frequency governor and CPU maximum frequency for thermal control and noise reduction purposes recently. I don't know if that's causing the problem...

bruce, in the first of the two logs I submitted, it says: I changed the checkpoint interval to 3 mins, it seems to have temporarily solved the problem. If the problem occurs again, could I submit the log via pastebin?

For the past several weeks, I noticed that my FAH instance isn't folding WU all the way to the end. It always mysteriously crashes. Right now, it is complaining about "BAD_FRAME_CHECKSUM". The only thing I can think of that might have caused the problem is that I am now running Debian Bust...

It is a shame that you don't hear much about FAH in new media these days. I suppose when the mobile client got released, it did create a bit of stir.

Surely the magic Android port by Sony only uses CPU, right?

Yes, but those things are so expensive, might as well invest in a really old machine with a powerful graphics card.

Folding@Home has been going on for a long time now. I kind of want to know a bit more about the people behind it. For example, who is "bruce" - the site admin? Is he in Dr Pande's research group? It would be nice to know the personal stories behind the usernames - what drove everyone to fo...

Yes, I shouldn't even have posted the thread - it is all answered here: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=21688

I guess I will use my Raspberry Pi for Eienstein@Home then. Folding@Home is too classy for Raspberry Pi. haha.

Apologies if this has been asked before, is there any plan to make Folding@Home available on Raspberry Pi 2? We already have a port for the Android devices, does that mean porting to Raspberry Pi 2 would be easy?

Mod: Merged with other topic on failure to get assignments for a CPU setting of 1 I guess I will fold with 2 cores for now then. If my system's performance deteriorate, should I stop running Folding@Home non-stop, or should I turn it back on single core? I heard that you can run Folding@Home when s...

I keep getting the following error for the past few days. I don't think there is any problem on my end, as my computer had been folding fine until a few days ago. ******************************* Date: 2015-07-13 ******************************* 01:41:59:FS00:Unpaused 01:41:59:WU01:FS00:Connecting to ...
