I think that you will have two of us looking to catch you soon. I've decieded to set you in my sites to see if I can match or pass you in the ppd. At your current ppd, it will be doable but only "just". I think that equinox is going for your ppd too.

I just wanted to give you a freindly warning out of respect.

Additionally, by picking up our ppd, hopefully we can fight off curecoins advance on team 32.

FOLD ON! my brothers/sisters. Fold on.

Farwalker2u · Jan 1, 2015

I'm folding on six GPUs.
But my GTX 970 is only getting Core 17s occasionally (produce about 275K PPD). The 970 gets mostly "unknown" cores now which produce ZERO PPD. It sometimes gets Core 18s which produce about 80K PPD.

For example in December, 29 core 17s, 24 Core 18s, and 40+ "unknown" Core 18s. Right now it is folding a P9105 Core 18, but it is "unknown" and will produce nothing. This ties up the GPU for almost a day.

I am thinking about just turning it off as it does nothing over half the time.

Where are you seeing "unknown" cores ??

caddi daddi · Jan 1, 2015

I have never seen an "unknown" work unit.

Farwalker2u · Jan 1, 2015

I see "unknown" cores in HFM.net v0.9.2.

According the Work Unit history in HFM.net, I've had mostly "unknown" cores and done no PPD for them.

As you can see, there are ten (10) unknown cores in this screen shot. They yield zero PPD.

Looks like for these five days, I have had about two a day. They occupy the GPU for about 7 hours each time.
So 14 hours out of 24 where my GPU is folding, using electricity and producing nothing. Instead of getting 275,000 PPD, I am getting about 30K PPD.

In HFM.NET go to "tools" then "Download Projects from Stanford" after which it should download all missing work unit info......

(The odd time it will still be missing the most recent wu's if Stanford hasn't updated their info yet.)

equinox · Jan 1, 2015

Seems a common problem with the 970, 980 gpus. Drivers issue perhaps. Early adapters get to play test pilot it seems.

What do you have the client-type set as for those NVidia cards? advanced or beta?

The p9104-p9114 projects still do not show on Stanford psummary pages, but the info is listed in the opening post for the new projects in the beta forum. https://foldingforum.org/viewforum.php?f=66

The HFM projectinfo.tab file can be manually edited to include the missing project info. On my computer running Vista, the file is located at AppData\Roaming\HFM. Need to exit HFM, edit the projectinfo.tab file to include the project info, then restart HFM. I normally insert a row in the appropriate location, copy a similar project into the row, then edit the info for project name, points, deadlines and k factor. Be sure to make a backup copy of the file and use a simple text editor.

Below is the portion my HFM projectinfo.tab file for those projects. You may be able to simply insert the whole block into your file.

I do not have any client-type flag set on my GTX 970.

HayesK,

Thanks for the advice. I tried it, but still have unknowns.

Did you get any of the p9104-9114 projects to show in HFM?

Suspect an issue with the HFM file editing. HFM needs an entry in the projectinfo.tab for each project, which needs to be in exact same format as the prior rows. In the past, I have used windows notepad or the freeware NoteTab Light to make the edits. Simply inserted a row using the "enter key", copy the entire prior row (all 12 colums), paste, and edit the parameters. All the projects in your screen shot were in the p9104-9114 series, so the parameters in my earlier post should be fine for those projects. My insertion point was between p9102 and p9201. The project name is in columns 1 and 3. The project parameters are in columns 5, 6, 7 and 12. The info in the other columns is displayed by HFM in various locations, but not required for HFM calculations.

Seems like an excuse which is odd since you're the one in the lead. At any rate, I'm delighted to see that fellow folders have come to your aid to perhaps rectify the issue. Unfortunately, this only makes my goal more difficult.

AIRBORNE!

Hold on there, just because it says Unknown does not mean it's not doing anything, HFM does not see what your folders are doing for these projects, but if you look at F@H on your PC's you will see they putting out points. I'm getting same thing with my SMP and GPU (GTS 450) folders. (see below)

Farwalker, that info helped my on clearing up som occational Core 18 on 280x on Win10, or specifically http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=3714131&postcount=4 if there's different info.
I'd also like to check if your HFM is set, in preferences-web settings, from http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummaryC.html (the C is important).
I just tried updarting and hey, there were new projects!

I do not see Core 18 WUs on my AMD GPUs.

I have copied and pasted that information to my projectinfo.tab file.
My HFM.NET Work Unit History Viewer still shows "unknown" for the WUs 9104 through 9114.

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummaryC.html was what was set under preferences.

To determine what, if any, PPD the GTX 970 is producing; I am shutting down all my other computers as far as fold for two days to test.

Seems a shame to cut back production when the status can be viewed in FAH Control, which should give good estimates for these projects. Also, the logs will show the estimated points for the work and the EOC stats will show the actual results.http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=639064

Never said the block copy and paste would work, but the insert row, row copy and edit has always worked for me. I often have to manual edit the projectinfo.tab file when working with beta projects. Sometimes the parameters are not even published in the Beta Forum, and have to use the info in FAH Control to figure out the values to plug into HFM. Regardless, the values provided by HFM are only estimates based on available info and do not show what is actually credited for the work units.

Farwalker2u · Jan 4, 2015

As soon as I shut down my other computers from folding, all I've gotten on the GTX 970 is core 17s. I've gotten five core 17s in a row. This never happened before. Watch, as soon as I turn on the other computers for folding the Core 18s will dominate again.

Nathan_P · Jan 4, 2015

Core 18 is now restricted to non Maxwell gpu's. Your 970's should now get no core 18 work.
