Any point in upgrading from 7.4.2?

 

['Cuda340]

Based on the following i would say yes ..........but i still run v6 for the most part.

We are very happy to announce the release of our latest Folding@home desktop client. This version sports a new streamlined Web interface as well as numerous improvements to the user experience and folding performance. Both our internal and beta testing teams have worked hard to ensure that this is one of the best tested and most stable Folding@home clients to date.

The new Web interface was designed to be easier than ever to use. It now displays your user and team points and has a very clear start and stop button and a power slider bar which allows you to quickly control how much of your computing resources are contributed. Power users can continue to use the FAHControl advanced interface which enables monitoring and control of entire folding farms.

Remember I had the problem of HFM not working with this version yet.

 

[HayesK]

I need HFM to monitor my farm and have stayed at client 7.29 on all my hosts, both windows and linux. All the ver 7.xx run the same cores and get same assignments, which is what does the crunching. The rest is basically interface and ease of use/configuration.

I just installed it on an alternate boot but ising the data files (/var/lib/fahclient) from a 7.4.2 installation. I had to enable the GPU slot (which I did) and I get:

12:54:53:WU01:FS01:Running FahCore: /usr/bin/FAHCoreWrapper /mnt/mint/var/lib/fahclient/cores/www.stanford.edu/~pande/Linux/AMD64/NVIDIA/Fermi/Core_17.fah/FahCore_17 -dir 01 -suffix 01 -version 704 -lifeline 5525 -checkpoint 15 -gpu 0 -gpu-vendor nvidia

12:54:54:WARNING:WU01:FS01:FahCore returned: UNKNOWN_ENUM (127 = 0x7f)

That series of log messages repeats.

Searched the error from your log. Found a couple of cases were the error was gpu driver related....

Upgraded to client version 7.4.4 and can not get HFM.NET v0.9.1 to work with it.

 

[WhitehawkEQ]

I hope they fixed the python 2.6 bug in Linux, Linux has 2.7, V7 looks for 2.6.

 

[orion456]

As usual I will wait a few months before upgrading so the bugs get worked out first - nothing worse than fooling around with an interface that won't quite do what you think it should be doing.

Known issue......harlam is aware of it & will fix when able.....

Even setting compatibility to XP or 7 doesn't help?

But . . . but . . . I have new toys to play with and measure and stuff.

I want to see numbers that might be new PPDs generating as I watch!

I do not want to wait.

WAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa

OK. I feel better now.

This was publicly released over two months ago.

It's a capitalization issue, not a Windows compatibility issue. Previously, v7 was outputting the Idle field using "true" or "false", and starting in 7.4.0 that was changed to "True" and "False", which I believe it was supposed to have been all along. HFM only looked for the uncapitalized output and wasn't set to translate the capitalized versions into a form it recognized.

 

[Farwalker2u]

Two months.
I hoped it would work with HFM.

 

['Cuda340]

We all do but clearly harlam has not had the opportunity.......

His last comment on the matter (Mar 2014)

Folks have reported an issue with HFM parsing data coming from the v7.4 client. Something I need to fix in the next update. Wish I could do something about it sooner but things going on in RL are more pressing right now.

Snort . . .

He has a REAL life?!

 

[RoXQi3x]

We must respect RL. I am still on 7.3.6 because of HFM. Little teaset by folks saying 7.4 can view other clienst in the client itself but...HFM is so much more!
