Howdy all! Some of you may have noticed a PPD decrease if you fold a lot of CPU WUs. This is a WS bug that has apparently been around for over a month. More info can be found here: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=31698 -Brian

There was an issue last week in which many folding clients hung on a phantom update core download. Stanford resolved the issue but for any client affected, they didn't recover. If there is anyone who folds but doesn't monitor their rigs, please to check to make sure you are not affected by...

Well y'all, it has happened. A member of Team Rage3D has joined the 1 BILLION POINT Club! :eek: :eek: A hearty congrats to Jima13 for this totally awesome accomplishment!! :fold: :fold:

Howdy all! Two milestones Team Rage3D reached in the past week: - We hit 5 BILLION points!! That is just awesome! - We are currently at 6 million PPD, which is the highest I've ever observed for the team. Lets keep the good times rollin' :D :D :fold:

:fold: :D

Y'all, I've been folding with Team 64 now for over 12 years... and I have never seen anyone break 1 million PPD until today when I happen to venture upon Jima13's mad stats!!! Seriously, this alone is more than what the entire team was pushing only a week back! This is seriously awesome...

Howdy all! Little update on my folding. My only GPU folding rig belonged to my roommate, who needed it back (he folds for team 0, and only part time :cry: ), so for the past few weeks I've been back to CPU folding.... However this will change in about a week, as last night I ordered an R9...

Team Rage3D hit the 3 BILLION point mark today! This is awesomeness redefined right here! :drool: :cool: :D For those of you who used to fold but no longer do for whatever reason, and those of you who have never folded before, come join us and help us reach 4 billion points! That is 1...

On one of my v5 client machines, been getting this continuously for a few days now. The pattern is always the same: [10:41:50] Completed 57500 out of 250000 steps (23%) [10:44:18] CoreStatus = 8B (139) Then the WU is deleted, the same WU downloaded again, and this continues until 23%. It...

Howdy y'all! Many of my machines are diskless, and I was using NotFred's solution, but sometime recently all that stuff was taken down and I could not find a mirror anywhere, so I created my own solution. It is currently quite basic, but here are the main specs: -Tinycore based (microcore)...

I added a classic to my low-end folding farm. The original benchmark folding system, a P4 2.8, ripped right out of a laptop. I currently got the mobo/cpu folding on the floor, using NotFred's diskless folding on a USB stick. Always can find a use for old computers. I noticed it is currently...

Finally made it! May be a while till the next milestone :p -Brian

This probably doesn't apply to very many people, but if anyone plans to fold on a 32 bit system in linux, the latest FAHclient (7.2.9) build appears to by dynamic. It was complaining about not having specific shared libraries, more specifically mkl. using FAHclient 7.1.52 works. I'm not sure...

I ordered an Atom n270 based system as a stop gap for some basic work, and after I'm done with that I want to fold on it. However from what I have read that cpu doesn't seem to meet the preferred deadlines for SMP WUs, so I was curious if there are still single threaded WUs that have have long...

Looks like the TK-55 laptop I added is producing abt 900PPD, which is more than I thought I would get out of it. I also didn't know how stable it would be, but so far so good. It aint much, but it's happening :D -Brian
