The system folds on CPU, but not on Nvidia GPU

Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2020 10:21 pm

F@H downloads a WU for the GPU, but then errors out.

I have the following errors in the log file (complete log below):

Code: Select all

OpenCL: Not detected: clGetPlatformIDs() returned -1001
[91m20:26:58:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 1 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually[0m

20:27:13:Saving configuration to config.xml
The FAH Control Client "sees" my GPU as ID 01 Ready gpu:0:GF110 [GeForce GTX 570]
The Nvidia driver version is: 390.132
ocl-icd - 2.2.12 and ocl-icd-dev - 2.2.12 are both installed, as are the 32-bit versions of these drivers.

Per the error message above, I looked at the config.xml file (below), but I'm not sure what changes are supposed to be made to the configuration.

Code: Select all

<config>
  <!-- Network -->
  <proxy v=':8080'/>

  <!-- User Information -->
  <team v='232084'/>
  <user v='BarkingMad'/>

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
</config>

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Welcome to Folding@Home!

Your GPU is about as old as is supported, but it may be.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/g ... x-570.c269

Ideally you would have OpenCL 1.2, but some folks make OpenCL 1.1 work.
The Fermi GPUs do not support F@H's CUDA folding, so you need OpenCL support. Linux makes it a separate install.

I am not a Linux user, so i cannot help directly, I would search for OpenCL and your version of Linux.

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, this is an old machine that no longer has the juice to play games, nor fold for that matter, but it is still useful for other purposes. I run an "unsupported" Linux distribution and I just discovered that F@H is available as a Snap package. I'm (attempting to) sorting out the installation and configuration on this machine, before installing it on a production machine.

As near as I can determine, the GTX-570 is supported, but by no means am I an expert.

Cheers!

This is the one I use heavily https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/ ... dia-guide/ [...] But start out with a clean install of a current version of Fedora (backup the files you created/downloaded that you will need first). Should you switch to Unbutu or Debian, someone will be able to help you here.

GTX 570 may struggle to get WUs ... https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/g ... x-570.c269 shows only OpenCL 1.1 and iirc most current WUs will need 1.2 ... however it is an nV card so cuda might work but I can't remember if fermi cards are supported in new cuda enabled core 22 version ... I'd search the forums for clarification of that (bruce or Joe_H will no doubt have posted on this in other topics).

edit: ... Looks like won't be able to use the cuda core :( .. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php? ... da#p344214

The issue isn't whether the GPU will struggle (like the poor Phenom II CPU is - LOL), the issue is how to configure it to function.
I've Been doing a lot of reading. Some guides suggest that all the drivers needed are contained within the official Nvidia binary driver. Other guides suggest that I need to install an "opencl-nvidia" package from nvidia (which I can not find), still others suggest that "ocl-icd" is required, while other guides specify that other packages are necessary. Is there a list of dependencies somewhere?

One guide suggests to verify the environment with the "clinfo" tool, but it gives me "illegal instruction" errors when I execute it. Is there a different/better tool that I can use to verify that the driver stack is satisfactory?

To make matters worse, the production machine that I ultimately want to use, has a Radeon card in it, so I'm no closer to sorting that out. When I run "clinfo" on it, it finds no openCL devices. That machine is equipped with a RX Vega GPU and it runs the open source AMD GPU driver. It's unclear to me if this driver provides the necessary OpenCL support (I've never used OpenCL on Linux before, so I'm completely groping in the dark, here), or if I need the AMD binary, or some other combination of drivers.

The general guidelines for linux are relatively simple.
Ubuntu 18.04 and its derivatives are officially supported by F@H.
To get folding operating correctly, make sure the nvidia packages provided by Ubuntu are installed. You can check with the Proprietary Drivers tool. Ubuntu handles all the neccessary components for folding to work.
The FAHControl app has minor issues running, but you can configure the client by hand. Or follow the steps outlined on the github page.
Generally a full reboot after driver installation is recommended.
This is what has worked for me on many systems. As noted that CPU might hold back your perfomance as some details are calculated by the CPU.

If the card wont work with cuda and doesn't have opencl 1.2 or higher I don't believe it will be able to get any WUs ... it isn't about struggling to complete WUs (maybe a poor choice of words on my part in my first response) it is about not actually being a viable card for folding due to no WUs being available that work without OpenCL 1.2 ... but I'll let someone with the latest knowledge re availability of opencl 1.1 WUs confirm for certain.

The Nvidia driver version is: 390.132

Please note that F@H only uses 64-bit for folding. Thus, I am not sure if the 32-bit drivers would be problematic or not. AFAIK, 64-bit drivers on 64-bit OS works well.

Also, please use the latest version which is V7.6.13 instead of V7.5.1 :)

Also, GPUs need to have OpenCL 1.2 support for FahCore_22 version 0.0.13 onwards.

Thanks for the info. I'm not complaining (well, not much), but on https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/i ... uirements/ it clearly states that Fermi and up Nvidia cards are supported, with no mention of what version of OpenCL is required. In other words, while the page discusses the introduction of v7 of the client, there is no mention of FahCore 22, it's requirements, nor when FahCore 22 was introduced.

Anywho, the GTX-5xx is a 2nd gen Fermi card (GTX-4xx being the 1st gen.), but they only support CL 1.1.

IIRC, the Kepler cards, such as the GTX-7xx series, support CL 1.2.

Since you're a moderator, I'm hoping that you can find someone who can update this page with more accurate and useful information.

Thanks!

I am aware that there are plans to update the site, however, I don't have a timeline for that. Re-doing the documentation/website is a significant undertaking and a proper plan is needed to prevent confusion/issues.

can you help me, I have a Quadro 2000 and it is detected but not folding, I am using Win 10

The Quadro 2000 is too old to use for folding. It is based on Nvidia's Fermi GPU chips, they are no longer supported. Oldest Nvidia GPUs supported are based on Kepler chips and only use OpenCL for processing WUs.
