Chimp learned next time his production slips to go in and delete all the folders ;) Not necessary to edit the registry unless that doesn't work :p

6% in that 1hr+ or so is a whole lot better than 11% across 10 or 11 days.

When sorto get's back to full speed, maybe she can check to see if 7809 R10 C129 G3 is truly bad or if it was a hardware glitch.

Fold on!

Pin posted : To Dump the lagging WU....

Stop the client or pause the SMP slot.

Click on the Windows Start Icon ( lower left corner ), All Programs, FAH Client, Data Directory. Now you should see a configs directory, a cores directory, a logs directory, a themes directory and a work directory; along with a config.xml file, log.txt, etc.

If so ... then click on the work directory. You should see a 01 directory and either a 00 or 02 directory. The SMP client is working in the 01 directory/folder.

If not ... then post what you do see!

Otherwise, delete the 01 directory/folder.

Now restart or unpause the SMP slot.

Pin posted : Rxdoxx,

You have a bad work unit 7809 (R10, C129, G3) on your Win XP i7 SMP client ( the box running GPU also ). It was downloaded on 11/8 and is only 11% done on 11/18 in it's last log entry in your 2nd log file posted.

That or your cpu fan isn't spinning. :o :o

Just a thought, because both would be in the same single client box on the machine that crunches both.

Relkin posted : Ok, frame times are indeed jumping high at times but also running at more normal times, this is normal if you use the computer hard at times(gaming or other processor intensive uses).

~~Bad news- I think you may have lost your quick return bonus.~~ I'll make a post over at folding forum to confirm. In the meantime can you post a log from your other computer?

One of the last units from that log did get bonus points. I'm back to no idea whats going on.

haven't noticed any aborts/restarts
I do occasionally have to pause the gpu on the other machine if i do anything on it, the gforce is weak and computer screen resembles dial-up surfing if I don't pause, and that resemblence is opening a folder, waiting for the folding GUI to appear onscreen.... :huh:

Pin posted : Looks like your WU count is getting back to normal, but not your points. Stanford shows 2 active clients in 7 days and 3 active clients in 50 days.

You mentioned 2 I7's and one GPU, did an I7 or GPU client stop folding, stall, or start aborting WU rapidly?

Looks like you might have found 1 of x (2) problems!

Relkin posted : I have been seeing more work on the lower end of the scale but not that low.

Post the log from that computer and someone can check the times for you. Even dual core hyperthreaded I7s running at stock in laptops should be getting a couple thousand ppd min.

And to doublecheck the computer in the screenshot is not running a seperate gpu client? Or a gpu client for another project? If yes is it an amd card?

Edit- In regards to what Jaynick pointed out, that wouldn't seem too likely as that is a very small number of units with the high tpf problem and your drop in points has held steady for 2 weeks now.

Is that 56 minute TPF in the screenshot accurate? 233 ppd from an I7 is very wrong.

I really don't know
I just set and forget, occasionally check to make sure things are running, are able to call home, machine didn't close down.....

The concern was seeing my graph line heading south
that is why I included the link
»folding.extremeoverclocking.com/···&u=24004
if you look at the weekly production I've gone from far over 100,000 a week to half that 60,000 in November, and nothing that I know of has changed...

that is why I was asking.... are low grade WU being sent out?
Are others seeing this?
Or do I have to start making registry tweaks

If it was eating that many cycles, I have my doubts about the software originating from Microsoft. Now that it is stopped, what is the percentage of cpu cycles that is being used by the FAH core process?

But that was one machine,,, screenshot is from this machine, there should be nothing eating major cycles except FAH

rusdi posted : Mine vary as much as 10K every couple of weeks. Sometimes over the entire month.

Much depends on how much the WU is worth, (Stanford sets that).
Also, depends a little on what else the CPU is doing besides folding.

I would say, as long as you can see all your CPU/GPU(s) showing up as "Active clients within 7 days",»fah-web2.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/ma···e=Rxdoxx everything is OK.
If there are some missing, then start lookin' for those slackers, and whip 'em back in line!!

Pin posted : Can you check for other processes using CPU cycles?

This WU seems to be part of a test to run much faster, but you seem to be running much slower. The time per frame seems very suspect at this point in time.

Edit:
Finding 2 - 4 min time per frame and not the 5x tpf your screen shot shows.

Sometimes my points do fluctuate greatly, but as leibold mentions this lack of production is usually followed by a huge spike. Generally my "lows" don't last more than a day. If you haven't been messin' with anything and nothing has changed recently with your internet connection, I'd say check your logs and look for anything suspicious. Something indeed doesn't seem right to me..

leibold posted : The two things that come to mind are:

1.) I sometimes get large workunits that take almost an entire week to complete. If that is your issue you will see a big spike when it completes and you get 1000s of points for a single returned workunit (which will cause peaks and valleys in your chart but should average out ok).

2.) If you were contributing to Folding@Home with a PS3 you can turn it off now. This project was shut down :(

Is it the type of WU cycling presently or do I have to get into the registry and tweak something? (Hurry up, Sorto is sick, so we can get it adjusted before she gets back :) ) TIA
