LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19

Try playing it while GPU folding! Just remove CPU slot and you'd be surprised what's possible on modern hardware!

Yeah it runs pretty impressively good, but still way too much lag in busy areas. Running 4K all ultra on 60Hz monitor and I do get a lot of stuttering in places with action which doesn't happen while not folding. Also points go down by half, so not worth it.

I have not read the 97 pages, but since F@H is curretnly overwhelmed, have you considered folding for BOINC Rosetta project which too is researching covid-19?

My GPU been folding almost nonstop over night, it's getting better with the WU assign situation at FAH.

How long does a work unit(?) take to complete on decent hardware?  I'd like to contribute, but I need to have an idea about how long my PC would be occupied.

It entirely depends on the work unit you receive. Some are far more complex and take longer than others.

The Coronavirus Core22 work units I've been getting lately have taken <2 hours on my 1080Ti. So if you're thinking of using the 1070Ti in your signature expect around 2-3 hours to complete.

There are some older Core21 work units that can take me up to 4 hours though, but those haven't been that common lately and they're prioritising CoronaVirus WUs.

3900X should be able to do a CPU project fairly quickly, but their times can vary greatly. Expect a few hours.

You can always pause if you need to use your system, or just set it to only fold while idle.

Got a very big WU for both my CPU and GPU. Normally they take between 1-3 hours (few exceptions) now over 8. Anybody else seeing the same?

[Spotty]

Looks like work units might be getting sent out more reliably. In the last two updates the LTT team has doubled the WUs completed and doubled the points.

(Ignore 6pm, 9pm, and 12am. 6pm and 9pm didn't process due to a bug and 12am updated to correct)

 

Went from 60M - 70M points and around 2500 WUs up to 125M - 145M points and 5000 WUs.

Which WU is it?

That's nearly a banable offence around these parts

Are those stats from EOC? Their site has been offline for me all day.

Not sure how to answer that. It is project 14310 and 14190 if that is what you meant

Ooooooh a pause button.  That's perfect.  Thank you, sir.

I've done like 1.5 mil points in 2 days. I remember when I started with 2 660s and it took me months to get to 1 mil. Neat.

Yeah, those are the WUs (Work Units).
I had 14310 earlier today and it was estimating 4.5 hours! I was playing a game while folding and the game crashed, display driver crashed, and I lost the work unit roughly 20% in to it. RIP

14310 is one of the older Core21 big units I think. They take a long time to process. Kinda suck.

It is. Has been online for me but they are likely getting a lot of extra traffic.

Yeah offline for me all of today, but that's ok, they'll sort it out eventually

Yeah, it's crazy how much performance jumps between each generation. Almost doubles between the XX80Ti cards with each generation.

 

This gives a pretty good estimation on estimated PPD for different cards.

Quick question: are there drivers that are better for compute (folding)? I found a studio driver on the nvida site. Should I use it?

Did you see the LTT community post about the rig they are building for folding? It looks insane.2x CPU + 6x GPU

Where did they post it? On Youtube?

Instagram stories I believe.
I don't have an instagram account so I can't see it, but I think they're using the 6 editors 1 PC build they did last year. Not sure if they're making upgrades to it though it really doesn't need it.

Yes check out the stories tab on their page on mobile.

Just got a new one with eta 24 hours for my gpu (gtx 1070ti)

and 18 hours for my cpu (ryzen 5 1600)

that is really long no?

you might be looking at the community tab. Also you have to skip through them to the end.

If it just started give it about 5 minutes to complete some steps. Estimated time is off until you get a few percent.  Back in the day I used to get 4 day jobs...
