And another high TPF WU (s.a. my other thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22853). Normally I need ~2:30min per frame for this project, now TPF is on 8:40min and my PPD dropped by factor 8. CPU utilization from A4 core is at 99%. Something went wrong with 70xx projects in the last days :evil:

Re: Project: 7012 (Run 2, Clone 84, Gen 99) - High TPF

Post by bruce »

Normally nobody really pays any attention to the number of steps because different projects do have different numbers. In the past, one significant sign of the problem I think we're seeing is that for a single Project, moving to a different Run/Clone/Gen will find a different number of steps. Can anybody determine if that's happening?

The only 7012 I could find appears to have the same number of steps and afaik it ran normally:

One other user ran the same WU as Fahrenheit451 and assuming it ran on one of the systems in his profile he had the same slowness:

Days taken to complete WU: 0.46

Hi xxxxxxx (team xxxxx),
Your WU (P7012 R2 C84 G99) was added to the stats database on 2012-11-03 11:08:01 for 2909.28 points of credit.

Another project is having similar problems:

viewtopic.php?p=227675#p227675

Could this slowdown be related to the same a4 bug?

I think that there is a real problem with automatically assuming high TPF's are all caused by this bug. The issue is that there are legitimate causes for this behavior that are not related to the bug. It means that they do not go through the diagnostic process to see if it is the bug or some external application using up CPU time. Since diagnosing a problem takes time and effort while dumping is quick and easy there are going to be people dumping where they shouldn't be. I do not know how to distinguish between bug and not without going through the diagnostic process.

That being said, if the diagnostic process has determined a specific WU has the bug by elimination of the alternative causes, it is likely that the WU is outright bad and should be marked in the database so it does not get reissued.

Re: Project: 7012 (Run 2, Clone 84, Gen 99) - High TPF

Post by bruce »

Both Kasson and tjlane have seen WUs in their project which were completed after running with a high TPF and determined that the result was corrupt. They have examples demonstrating that there is a bug in one or more of the SMP cores and the core developer is aware of the issue but it has not yet been fixed.

It's not appropriate to assume that this bug is the ONLY reason someone might have a WU that has a high TPF. That's one reason why I asked if the step count changed. It could help them to understand if it's the same problem or a different one.

Thank you to all for your replies. If I understand aright, we can only wait for a updated A4 core.

I hope Stanford can use the results of this WU and it was not for nothing.

@bollix47: My folding name is superduper4711. Fahrenheit451 is only my forum name.

Here is the rest of the log file for this WU. Perhaps it helps the developers.

Re: Project: 7012 (Run 2, Clone 84, Gen 99) - High TPF

@bollix47: My folding name is superduper4711. Fahrenheit451 is only my forum name.

Just letting you know that the other folder mentioned above was not you. Your entry is now in the database as well as a 3rd one that took 2.46 days to complete. I have no way of knowing that person's computer setup or whether they run 24/7.

According to the database your run took .63 days.

The reissuing of the WU might be another indication of whether or not the results were corrupt but that can't be assumed as has been explained above.

ASRock FM2A88X Extreme 6+ motherboard
AMD Athlon X4 860K CPU @ 4GHz
Watercooled EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 - typically folds @ 1454MHz Boost Core / 1502Mhz Memory
Windows 10 64bit
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD - OS
2TB Western Digital SATA III HDD - storage
16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1866 G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series RAM
Corsair Air540 case
Antec EarthWatts 650 Watt PSU

Average folding temps on GPU ~60C (+/- 7C depending on WU being folded)

In the past, one significant sign of the problem I think we're seeing is that for a single Project, moving to a different Run/Clone/Gen will find a different number of steps. Can anybody determine if that's happening?
This is the same problem I've been experiencing p7007 & p7005 I've looked through my old logs & as best I can tell, the high TPF wu's are the same as the regular wu's except of course for the much higher than normal TPF. The only non-OS programs running besides F@H (GPU & SMP) when this problem occurs is monitoring software, HFM to track work unit data, & Core Temp to track maximum CPU temps. All unneccessary services are dissabled.

If it would be of any help, I can post complete log files of the two 7005's that completed normally on my PC plus the one that ran high TPF, as well as the two 7007's that completed normally plus the one that ran high TPF.

The issue is that there are legitimate causes for this behavior that are not related to the bug. It means that they do not go through the diagnostic process to see if it is the bug or some external application using up CPU time. Since diagnosing a problem takes time and effort while dumping is quick and easy there are going to be people dumping where they shouldn't be. I do not know how to distinguish between bug and not without going through the diagnostic process.

That being said, if the diagnostic process has determined a specific WU has the bug by elimination of the alternative causes, it is likely that the WU is outright bad and should be marked in the database so it does not get reissued.
Actually, diagnosis is pretty simple. Open Task Manager (if you don't know how to do that, you might want to reconsider whether folding is for you...), take a minute to set it up properly by:

Task Manager is now setup properly, so click the process tab, be sure to click the "show processes from all users" option, then click the 'CPU Time' header to sort all processes by CPU Time. Anything other than your wu core taking a significant amount of time (more than a minute or two) should be investigated, i.e. Google search, if you don't already know what it is & why it's running.

example:

Nothing significant running to slow down my 7005 wu there, so it's probably the bug...

Also, the entire work unit will run at about the same speed (+/- a couple of seconds per frame) from start to finish, pretty much eliminating anything that's not taking up dozens of minutes of CPU time.
