Nothing loading

Post by drtyrell »

I'm a longtime folding customer with a team in the early 2000s.

I just reloaded the client after several years on my Mac OS machine (latest top model made in Dec 2016).

My client is installed and seemingly working, but no project is loading thus no progress.

It says "connected" and "loading."

Is this normal?

Welcome to the folding support forum.

The statuses of "Connected" and "loading" are normal, that the client is not loading a WU probably indicates a setting that is wrong. Could you post the first 100 or so lines of your log file, that would give us the information needed to figure out what change would be needed. Directions for posting the log are in the Welcome topic, those for OS X are here - viewtopic.php?p=261084&f=24#p261084.

OK
You have 8 CPUs and 8 is not a multiple of a large prime (greater than 5) so at first blush you are OK
Sadly, you have a recognized GPU, so one CPU is reserved for GPU folding leaving you with 7 CPUs, which is prime, a no no.

It lists your OS as Darwin, which I associate with Mac OSX, where GPU folding was never implemented. (if I am wrong, let me know)

My advice would be to delete the GPU slot, which should return you to 8 CPUs.

Another choice would be to edit the CPU slot to 6 CPUs, also not a multiple of a large prime.

JimboPalmer's explanation is partly right on why you are not getting WU's, a setting of 7 will not get WU's when using the 7.4.4 release. The actual reason has to do with the default settings for this version of the client. The log does show the GPU being detected, but on the OS X client that does not reserve a CPU thread for a GPU slot. Instead the default is for the client to be at the Medium setting on the slider, and that reduces the thread count to 7. No GPU slot is shown as being set up in the log.

The options are as he mentioned to manually set the core count, or you can move the slider to Full or Light and get usable CPU thread settings. Another option is to use the public beta version of the client, 7.4.16. That version has additional code to handle some settings that used to get assignments by negotiating with the servers for WU's to use as many of threads available as possible, up to the number requested by the client.
