Bad State detected on GPU (AMD)

[Neil-B]

Different project WUs work the cores and your GPU in different ways so whether it is a hardware/driver/whatever issue it is quite possible to have some WUs fold and others not

You appear to be getting a similar type of error from a wide variety of Project WUs at quite high failure rates which other folders are completing - regrettably that probably means an issue with you kit/the way it is configured not with the Project WUs ... Tracking down these types of issues can be tricky - but it is worth persevering.

Couple of questions ... Have you always had these issues or have they started to happen more recently? ... What GPU are you running (couldn't spot this config in any of the posted logs)?

I'm willing to help tracking down these issues. But i'll need advice what to do/try.
For what it is worth: I also think that the PPD on my GPU do not reflect the power that i would expect from such a relatively new hardware. I make about 140k-200k GPU-PPD while older nvidia cards are said to make 1.2 to 2.4M GPU-PPD.

Couple of questions ... Have you always had these issues or have they started to happen more recently? ... What GPU are you running (couldn't spot this config in any of the posted logs)?

I'm folding for 13 years now. Looong time with many platforms and different hardware - but all without GPU - and without trouble also. Some years ago i interrupted folding but reactivated my machines for fighting covid-19 in March 2020. This was the first time i had a GPU equipped machine in my hands and wanted use it for folding too. The nan-errors mentioned in this thread were present from the very beginning of folding on that certain gpu-machine (mar 2020). Decide for yourself if this is "always" or "more recently".

The machine in question is on Linux Mint 19.3, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT and original proprietary GPU drivers from the official AMD site.
Are you looking for these lines?

Are the returned WUs considered "successfully returned" in my case?

You can check your bonus status with the bonus status app https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus

Thanks for the link. My bonus stats implicate, that WU's are only distinguished between "returned in time" and "timed out". All my failed WUs seem not to be counted as "timed out". So they must have been either counted as "returned in time" or not counted at all. So i have no impact on bonus stats and am fine with 99.xy percent.

[Neil-B]

I've CPU folded over the years too ... and only recently started a minor foray into GPU ... so know how you feel re troubleshooting GPUs ... really hope one of the GPU Gurus latches onto this topic

I asked about always to try and see if it might be a config/driver issue that has been with the system for a while as opposed to something that has recently changed as this might speed up the issue diagnosis ... seen this type of questions asked by others diagnosing similar issues so asked them up front so the information is there when the GPU folders read thread ... your ppd observations may well assist them as well

Hope someone can get this sorted for you soon !!

As far as FAH's credibility for GPUs is concerned, it will be restored when a new version of FAHCore_22 is released. A great deal has been learned from the collection of these error reports at the cost of some temporary setbacks. Ordinarily FAH attempts to collect and fix errors as a result of beta testing and then make a second pass at the remaining ones in Advanced testing but as it turns out, the Donor population for Beta and Advanced is smaller than usual so it has been necessary to distribute a percentage of the WUs to full FAH.

We'll all be pleased when the next version of FAHCore_22 is ready for release.

I think i read somewhere, that bonus score is only added, if more than 80 percent of the WUs were returned successfully.

I don't remember reading that. From whom/where you get that information?

My information is that only WUs which are completed and successfully uploaded can be used to generate the trajectory's next Gen. The token points are simply a reward for your effort.

[Neil-B]

It is one of the qualifications stated for the QRB on the website .. sorry brevity - on phone

[bruce]

Aha. Errors don't get bonuses and successful returns only get them as long as you maintain an overall 80% success rate.

[4n0n]

We'll all be pleased when the next version of FAHCore_22 is ready for release.

Where do you have your information from? Is there any public release plan or an estimation in terms of time?

...Where do you have your information from? Is there any public release plan or an estimation in terms of time?...

From the researcher:

We've had to checkpoint these WUs every 25% due to some limitations in the core, but we're working to remedy those ASAP in a forthcoming core release so we can checkpoint closer to 5%.

Thanks for bearing with us!

Please note that there's no ETA, or timeline. It will be released to public after the Beta team tests it out whenever it is made available.

[bruce]

Is there any public release plan or an estimation in terms of time?

FAH never pre-announces a release date. (We don't have a sales department that makes predictions of when new features will be available.) The only factual answers are "When it's ready" and more commonly "soon"

[PantherX]

FYI, the timeline that the F@H Project uses is this:
Now ↞ Very Soon ↔ Soon ↔ Soon-ish ↔ Not Soon ↠ End Of Time

You can vaguely map it to something like this:
Public ↞ Beta ↔ Internal ↔ In Development ↔ Thinking/Planning ↠ Backlog

Hence, the "soon" maps to "In Development" which means it is only 3 stages away from Full release
