Core seems stuck after start WU

Post by IkkeDus »

AMD R9 280X 3GB (ID: 6798 SUB: 3001)
Identified as: TAHITI XT [RADEON R9 200/HD 7900/8970]

Project: 11761

I seem to encounter a strange phenomena where a WU is downloaded but the work never starts. It resembles this viewtopic.php?f=74&t=32991&p=319598#p319598 but it not the same.

The log sits at ".. 0x22:Version 0.0.2" line.
Pause/unpause has no effect (not in this log).
When I reboot the work starts.
Apart from the manual entry to indicate the reboot, the timeline is as is.

Code: Select all

Can you post the full log, including the system details? In Advanced Control, click Refresh before Copy.

Can you elaborate with what you mean with 'advanced control'?
The log was as is. I run 7.5.1 on Windows 10.

I have to guess, but maybe you're concerned about the time between the message
10:39:56:WU04:FS03:0x22:Completed 0 out of 2000000 steps (0%)
and another line that says:
hh:mm:ss:WU04:FS03:0x22:Completed 20000 out of 2000000 steps (1%)

Depending both on your actual hardware and on the complexity of your protein, it can take quite a while to finish that first 1% ... and probably an equal time to complete the next 1%. During those status updates, there's really noting to say except "I'm working on it." To get to 100% of a the calculation that takes a few days, you don't get updates every few minutes.

No that is not my concern, that is only to indicate that the calculation seem to have started.
The observation is that I seem to have had several cases that the calculation doesn't seem to run. Only when I reboot it seems to start. The log shows that. It sits for 2 hours when I noticed that is was still at 0%. After reboot the logs shows progress (as I didn't focus on the times of the updates after it started, I didn't include the next line)
Typically a WU takes around 4-6 hours on my R9 280X and around 10-12 hours on a 7950 I have running.
I currently have for the same project (11761) a WU running which took around 40s to show the first completed cycle. The updates are approx. 3.5 minutes apart. Which is what I observe in most cases. So having no updates for hours seems weird...

Start one of the classic performance monitors that can tell what your hardware is doing. Be sure you're using one that reports the performance of the GPU, and it's temperature.

I have that (apart from the AMD overview, I use GPU-Z). All is normal. Temps around 60-65C. Load around 93%.
The setup is a new Win10 install. No OC, just stock. Cards are on risers with separate power supplies. In short: I don't see anything strange there.
Currently everything is running nicely. But once in a while this hiccup seems to occur.
