GPU CORE22 0.0.2 coming to FAH - p11737-9 feedback thread

[MeeLee]

Small units can still be done by CPU if need be, or small GPUs (like IGPUS of AMD).

One other thing that I've noticed is that both with these core 22 WUs and the core 21 ones in advanced, my 1080 Ti's coil whine has been greatly reduced .

A byproduct of the capacitors being under near to full load, as opposed to switching on/off all the time.
Core 22 lowers GPU frequency more than core 21.

[jima13]

I had to shut down one of my 1080ti systems due to constant crashes. I watched the FaH log as it went bad work unit (114 0x72) 4-5 times followed by "too many errors failing"..as soon as 'failing' hit the system reboots...this is with 0x22 11767
I had been having trouble with 8.1 failing updates so installed 10, same problem. I'll try and post from the system log itself 'if' I can get back in since it's been rebooting before I can pause FaH...oh, and checking the windows error log shows a kernal error at that time...

[toTOW]

This sounds like a hardware issue ...

I hope you'll be able to post some logs.

[jima13]

I thought the same thing too, however I can't recollect this ever happening with 0x21. I ran a stress test on the 1080, but I will do another. If all else fails I do have an AMD board ready to install. Will try and get those logs posted if the system lets me in

[foldy]

0x22 is more demanding on HW than 0x21. So maybe downclock or power limit the failing gtx 1080ti could help.

[cainscou]

Just thought I'd share my experience so far with 0x22. Folding on a dedicated machine (ancient AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor slot is turned off) with a GTX1070 under Linux Mint 18 "Sarah". Folding is stable. GPU temps are around 82C with the fan running about 70% capacity. No OC. So far, so good. Folding about 700k PPD. I did have it hang, waiting on a WU after an apt-get update. But a reboot fixed that.

[jpalpant]

I've been having some trouble with this core - or possibly with my setup. New folder, I only really started last weekend after I got sick of my GPU sitting around. I have maybe an unconventional setup, but am happy to debug however I can, I'm just not too familiar with tracking down issues like this yet.

Running on Ubuntu 19.10, with an RTX 2080 Super. 440.59 drivers and CUDA 10.2. I'm running with Docker as well (nvidia-container-runtime) which might be complicating things. I've had pretty good luck running other GPU cores for the past few days, but this afternoon Core22 started erroring out. Every time this work unit starts I see an immediate "FahCore returned: INTERRUPTED (102 = 0x66)". Pausing and restarting, restarting the container, rebooting the PC to be sure, and clearing out the `cores/` and `work/` folders for the client and restarting did not help.

Any advice on how to track down what that error code means and where it's coming from?

Full logs for that core, in isolation:

Thanks a lot for the report, problem is I don't think I have a way for you to only run core21 until we sort this out. Let me think about this overnight, maybe there is something we can do, I suspect there might be more people like you coming.

No worries, if there's any other info I can get you I'm happy to.

[bruce]

I don't use the Cause preference setting so I don't know much about it, but you might be able to choose an option other than "any" and increase the probability of NOT getting Core_22 assignments (or at least projects that don't exhibit the INTERRUPTED error).

[jpalpant]

For completeness' sake, I should update and say that I think the issue is likely in my Docker/nvidia-container-runtime/Kubernetes environment and how it interacts with hardware, rather than the core. I don't know why I didn't think of this but I quickly tried running FAHClient from the native OS and the core has no trouble, and proceeds like this:

I'm fairly interested in getting this to work in my environment, so I'll play around with it and let you know if I find anything interesting. I do notice that I get assigned a different project/run/clone/gen number here, but I don't know what that means. Could anyone let me know if that means I'm not making a valid comparison?

[bruce]

If Containers are anything like Virtual Machines, it should be noted that most VMs don't expose all the features of the GPU so FAH can't use them. You need a dedicated GPU driver.

[foldy]

@jpalpant: nvidia opencl-devel docker on Ubuntu 18.04 is a good base for running FAH on nvidia GPU
https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/opencl

[jpalpant]

@foldy yep, I'm using

Code: Select all

FROM nvidia/opencl:runtime-ubuntu18.04

as my base. This image has worked well on other GPU tasks previously, but since I was assigned Core22 it hasn't been able to succeed.

[foldy]

sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

Maybe the nvidia/opencl:devel-ubuntu18.04 is better? Works for me on vast.ai cloud machines.
