FahCore 23 broken on Fedora 39

[wdanwatts]

When I run the software for any length of time, it gives me a core 23 project and then I get this:

It continually cycles. I can stop this behavior by removing the GPU slot and re-entering it. That lasts until another core 23 job is assigned.
I'm runnung Fedora Linux 39 (Workstation Edition) on an AMD Phenom™ II X2 545 × 2 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU. It had been running ~ 1 million 'points' per day.

 error while loading shared libraries: libOpenMM.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

even though the 'offending' library is in that folder, and removing the Core_23 directory (which causes a new one to be rebuilt) causes no different behavior.
Is this core cursed, or does Fedora 39 have a folding problem?

[bikeaddict]

Core 23 has been running on my three Fedora 39 systems with no errors.

It could be a dependency problem with missing libraries on some systems. Wouldn't think lack of execute permissions on libraries would cause that error message.

I'll see what "ldd libOpenMM.so.8.0" reports on my machine this evening.

[hmacdope]

Not always the reccomended solution but you can try manually adding the core dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH like so

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=var/lib/fahclient/cores/cores.foldingathome.org/openmm-core-23/centos-7.9.2009-64bit/release/0x23-8.0.3/Core_23.fah:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

with permissions did no good.

The libOpenMM message may not be the real problem. Something is causing the INTERRUPTED (102 = 0x66). Check for crashes at the bottom of

Code: Select all

journalctl -p err

or scan through /var/log/messages for anything related to files in /var/lib/fahclient/ or FahCore_23 or libOpenMM.so.8.0.

It appears that a build-id is missing or wrong.

How is that repaired?

[bikeaddict]

It may be trying to execute instructions like AVX or SSE4.x that aren't supported on a CPU as old as an AMD Phenom II X2.

[wdanwatts]

Have such commands been recently added? This problem has only shown up this year.

[bikeaddict]

From what I can tell, Core22 uses OpenMM 7.7 and Core23 uses OpenMM 8.0. The documentation for both versions says the OpenCL platform requires SSE 4.1. Maybe something was changed in Core23 or OpenMM 8.0 that executes SSE 4.1 instructions that causes a crash.

It would be up to the F@H core developer(s) to determine if this can be fixed and whether they are willing to do so.

But the cost of picking up more modern hardware with SSE4.x and AVX support is minimal. I previously used a HP Z240 Tower and Dell Precision T3600 workstation with 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe adapters that could easily power a GTX 1660 Super. These are now available for $100 or less on eBay, FB Marketplace or Craigslist. See greenpcgamers.com and their YouTube channel for HOWTOs.

Don't worry about this, the core is running perfectly fine on my old first generation i7s (920 and 860).

This is definitely a library issue. Fedora 39 is very new ...

Don't worry about this, the core is running perfectly fine on my old first generation i7s (920 and 860).

This is definitely a library issue. Fedora 39 is very new ...

The i7-920 and i7-860 support SSE 4.1 and 4.2, but the Phenom II doesn't.

My three Fedora 39 systems have had no problems for a month.

From looking at objdump output of libOpenMMPME.so, there are SSE 4.1 instructions in OpenMM 8.0, but not in OpenMM 7.7. Not sure if the F@H core devs modified version 7.7 to compile without SSE 4.1 or what.

[wdanwatts]

Could we get a "Don't use Core ZZ" flag?

[muziqaz]

Could we get a "Don't use Core ZZ" flag?

No,

but we'll see if we can get core_23 disabled for older CPUs
