Brony@Home would like to formally challenge Team AnandTech

[Pokey]

Count me in.............

 

[GoStumpy]

After almost or more than a decade I'm folding again! I'll get my other two computers online tomorrow, for 4 total PCs

 

[TennesseeTony]

Welcome back, old friend!

 

[GoStumpy]

Quick question, I am also running Nicehash miner for my GPU, when I have the folding client running it uses both and reduces my hashrate... if I disable the GPU in the client the CPU usage also goes down to ~75% instead of maxxing 100%... is there something I'm doing wrong? (Besides not dedicating everything to Folding@home lol)

-edit- Accidentally confused the Folding@HOME with SETI, updated to be correct

 

[GoStumpy]

And on that same question, I paused the GPU in Folding@HOME client, to let my Nicehash run... but now if I want the Folding@Home client to run the GPU, it's stuck on "Paused: Waiting for idle", and won't change no matter what I do? I even tried restarting the computer! Or do I just have to wait a looong time for it to start back up?

I know nothing about the mining world, but I suspect thats your problem.

 

[GoStumpy]

I restarted the computer without the nicehash miner running, and the GPU just sits idle without the Folding@Home client trying to restart it

 

[Markfw]

Check the F@H log file.

 

[Ken g6]

What's your Nvidia driver version? There were some that broke F@H.

 

[GoStumpy]

Only two log files found, only thing I could see in one of them that could have something to do with it was:

02:48:45:WU01:FS01:0x21:Folding@home GPU Core21 Folding@home Core
02:48:45:WU01:FS01:0x21:Version 0.0.18
02:48:45:WU01:FS01:0x21: Found a checkpoint file
02:48:45:FS01:Shutting core down
02:48:45:WU01:FS01:0x21:WARNING:Console control signal 1 on PID 11508
02:48:45:WU01:FS01:0x21:Exiting, please wait. . .
02:48:45:WU01:FS01:FahCore returned: INTERRUPTED (102 = 0x66)
02:49:21:FS01:Finishing

 

[Markfw]

Run the FAH control app, and click on the log tab.

From the F@H forum :
"INTERRUPTED happens when you intentionally PAUSE folding or when you make changes to parameters that alter how a FahCore operates. It also happens when the PAUSE function is invoked if you've got a slot set to fold only when idle."

The F@H control app also tells you the status, if it paused or what. And you can resume

 

[GoStumpy]

Doh, all it was is I had to right-click to remove "wait for idle" instead of left-click

Thanks!

 

[GLeeM]

Go GoStumpy

 

[HutchinsonJC]

Can count me in!

I usually fold through the colder months, anyway. "Intelligent Heat" I think I was quoted once or twice last year

 

[crashtech]

Those colorful ponies might be in for it!

 

[TennesseeTony]

Good to see you again JC, been missing you!

I think they know they are in for it, but being the underdog brings out the best in a team. So we'd best be careful. Takes a fair bit of nerve to challenge a TeAm during their peak output period, and also to be part of a "my little pony" team. Kudos to them!, looks like a good crew of dedicated, science minded individuals they have there! I am looking forward to advancing medical research with our new friends!

 

[tiwake]

So we are all consenting on a two month long competition starting december 1st?

 

[GoStumpy]

I am

 

[indydude345]

I should have quite a formidable fleet come the time of the race. A couple of high core count CPU's and a whopping amount of GPU power. Be interesting to see how this competition goes.

 

[crashtech]

Winning is by no means assured, but it will be a fun (and house warming) event!

Edit: Except for @Kiska , sorry about our reversed seasons, mate!

 

[petrusbroder]

So we are all consenting on a two month long competition starting december 1st?

Yes, as things stand now: we are.

 

[tiwake]

As the day approaches, would a starting time of 0UTC on december first be good? or is some other start time more desirable?

 

[petrusbroder]

We usually start the race at 18:00 UTC - but that is not, as we say in Sweden, "chiseled in stone" (we have all these more than 1000 years old rune stones, you know ...)

 

[iwajabitw]

So whats the deal on this thing. After the last formula sprint I'm shutting down a day and cleaning all the systems. Need to know what to look toward on Dec 1, are we running this race Dec-Jan 31st or Jan-Feb 28th or Dec-Feb 28th and take on everyone, haha?

 

[crashtech]

Non-stop action, blow them out whilst they run!
