You know that thread is a year old, right?

 

 

But here is the thread I meant to link

Anandtech Radeon rx 5700 review

 

"In short, OpenCL doesn't have any good champions right now. Creator Apple is now well entrenched in its own proprietary Metal ecosystem, NVIDIA favors CUDA for obvious reasons, and even AMD's GPU compute efforts are more focused on the Linux-exclusive ROCm platform, since this is what drives their Radeon Instinct sales."

 

Let's hope that the status of OpenCL improves on all platforms but it sounds like there is no effort from manufactures side.

Maybe it's time F@H looks beyond OpenCL...

 

As much as I hate the idea of embracing closed standards such as CUDA, the situation isnt currently very good for the open side either, or maybe its time to move ROCm over to windows, if it is at all possible that is.

If there is too much work to support multiple standards, then it will divide us the supporters to one project based on our hardware.

We will see, the problem is the time in between standards and support. New standards aren't supported by programs and old standards don't have support from manufacturers.

GUYS!

 

Due to the explosion of sign ups we are wondering if anyone would like to help with manually verifying the data once it has been inputted. You will need to be available around 00:00 British time each day. 

 

Also please read the OP to get updated info on prizes from LMG and READ THE PASSKEY INFORMATION!

If there is a guideline on how to check it, I would like to help. The time absolutely works for me. That will be around 4.00pm here.

[flibberdipper]

My body is ready again.

I'll add you to the message thread! 

 

Thanks for the offer, the process is simple and we will go over it closer to the time

I would most likely be able to help. Not 100% sure if I would be available at that time every day, but I'm 98% sure. 

[justpoet]

The time of day is fine for me to help out, and I'd be happy to.  Other life events scheduled to come kicking and screaming into existence around then may change my available time though.  Feel free to add me or not.

We have 1,271 sign ups for the event, with 772 active folders for team LTT producing 112,651,981 points over the last 24 hours. 

Is there a way to see if I'm signed up? I already signed up via the google form and am in the LTT team but, seeing a list will sure help. ty!

I tried to fold my GPU and it broke in half.

What did I do wrong? Can this be fixed?

Team rank is your rank in LTT team.

Project Rank is you ranking among all folders regardless what team you are part of.

Have to say guys, I'm not liking this heatwave we have at all...

 

35C we have had today, which for you guys in hotter countries may not see mall that hot, you have to remember AC isnt really a thing here ,and our houses are built to keep heat in, not out.

35C is nasty but I’m sure it’s not related to Climate Change 

I'm sure that the cause of the heatwave is ITNOS Power   from all the folders of Team LTT and not the climate change...

Folding has been running great for a few weeks now.  SSH'd in today to check on things and noticed that although the FAHClient service was running, no folding was actually taking place.  I noticed in the log it just says "Interrupted" and "Examination of work files indicates 8 consecutive improper terminations of core."  The "Interrupted" code 66 supposedly means it's a user initiated interrupt, but I haven't done anything.  The service is still running, it just sits there and doesn't do anything though.  I've also tried restarting the service, to no avail.  Suggestions?  I'm considering just renaming/deleting the "work" directory and letting it re-download another project to see if maybe it's just something specific to whatever project I got handed.

Can you just delete the folding slot and remake it?
