Folding@Home Benchmark 1.2.0 (GUI)
FAHBench is the official Folding@Home GPU benchmark that measures the compute performance of GPUs for Folding@Home:
Download Link -> http://fahbench.com
1.2.0 Updates:
-Updated to use OpenMM 5.1 with significantly faster speed
-Accuracy checking disabled by default on GUI (enabled by default on Command Line mode)
-Stress Test option to do a very large number of steps
1.1.2 Updates:
-Made the errors due to CUDA JIT compilation more descriptive
1.1.1 Updates:
-Added a stress test option (1 million steps)
-Now checks for NaNs at the end and only once every 50000 steps for stress test
-Added performance estimate to progress counter
1.0 Updates:
-Added FAHBench GUI
Mod Edit: Updated Post - PantherX

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Are you getting numerous downloads of this swamping your connection? Download speed on the 6MB file is only 15-25KB/s on my 12mbit connection...
The openmm link: http://proteneer.com/blog/openmm.org ends in an 404 error.

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
It was pretty fast for me. I updated the openmm link, thanks

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
For me, it just give an error on an x64 Win7 system with 2x GTX460's that fold correctly: "Error loading library c:\temp\FAHBench_0_1\OpenMMOpenCL.dll: 126"

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
The download was also slow for me, and I also ran into the same error:
I notice the forward slash instead of a backslash. Perhaps that's the problem?

Also, your "Folding@Home" link to http://proteneer.com/blog/folding.stanford.edu is a 404.
Even though it didn't work, I do like the molecule artwork that you were able to draw in the command line.

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Do I actually have to install the whole CUDA5 Toolkit to try this? I've got Visual Studio Express already, as well as NVidia 310.90 WHQL driver, which does have CUDA5 support.

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Are you guys using the latest drivers? Also, can you try running
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
on the OpenMMOpenCL.dll file that came with the benchmark?

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Unfortunately yes. The CUDA platform does a lot of JIT compilation and hence requires the nvcc compiler. We assume the user has the NVIDIA GPU COMPUTING TOOLKIT 5.0 installed (and hence why its able to find CUFF).Napoleon wrote:Do I actually have to install the whole CUDA5 Toolkit to try this?

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Updated the download with some additional libraries - please redownload. Should fix OpenMMOpenCL.dll errors.
Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Looks like the 126 error is fixed by installing the CUDA toolkit.
Having installed Visual Studio 2012 and then the CUDA toolkit rebooting I was stuck at the PATH error until I restarted the computer after adding the folder to the PATH list.
Having restarted with the computer I now get the following error:
It would look like by installing Visual Studio 2012 I have version 11 of MSVC?

Yes it's looking for CUFFT in the 5.0 toolkit.k1wi wrote:Looks like the 126 error is fixed by installing the CUDA toolkit.

We compiled our code using Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC 9.0)- you can get the free express version here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=6506
Please don't use 2012 (MSVC11?) it's not supported. I'm not sure about 2010 (MSVC10).
Again, make sure the PATH includes the folder in which Visual Studio 2008's cl.exe is installed.
Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
Will I have to uninstall VS2012 before installing 08?
Might be useful to put that information on http://fahbench.com/ as your link goes to the 2012 version. ah already done.

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
No you don't need to uninstall VS2012. You just need to set your PATH so it points to the cl.exe in VS 2008k1wi wrote:Will I have to uninstall VS2012 before installing 08?

Re: Folding@Home Benchmark Beta Testing
I should have the prerequisites in place now, but "FAHBench.exe -deviceID 0 -platform CUDA -precision single" only reports "Invalid Device (please set valid deviceID by using --display-devices)". Output from --display-devices is
FWIW, FAH v7.2.9 reports
I didn't install the development driver in the CUDA toolkit, as it seemed to be pretty old (306.23, IIRC). 310.90 WHQL should support CUDA5. The nvcc.exe is the first thing in the PATH, now that the CUDA toolkit is installed. Tried both regular console and admin console, same result.
I can run for example "Stereo Disparity Computation" sample program which came with the toolkit, so I assume the toolkit installation was successful. According to GPU-Z it actually seems to do something on the GT430 because core clock briefly jumps from idle (50MHz) to 3D (810MHz).
What else could I try? Or is it just that my GT430 is too old to run the benchmark?
EDIT: if I try to run cl.exe from the console, I get "The program can't start because mspdb110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Well, this is a fresh install of the Visual Studio 2012 Express and all Windows updates are also installed, so I'm stumped with that one.
EDIT2: Never mind, I suppose I'll just have to try with the older version of VS Express.
