Core 17 has suddenly started crashing

However, 7im told me that it's unused and hence can be ignored...

To elaborate a little, this feature was introduced in FahCore_17 version 0.0.52 (IIRC) so that users with only a single Nvidia GPU can stop folding for X time when Y temperature was reached. This feature doesn't work on AMD GPUs and on multiple Nvidia GPUs. Since you haven't seen this message before, it suggested that something fishy occurred with the FahCore_17 update.

That shouldn't cause an issue at all. I have kept the data directory on HDD Drive with the program folder on the SSD Drive and can fold without any issues. Here's my configuration:

Since this issue started few weeks ago, my best guess would be a mangled FahCore update. As a test, can you please replace the beta value with advanced and see if it continues to fold FahCore_17 WUs properly? Do note that with the advanced flag, you might download FahCore_17 version 0.0.52 in a different directory and continue to fold FahCore_17 WU without issues. If this works fine, then you can revert back to your original setup by doing a fresh installation.

Since this issue started few weeks ago, my best guess would be a mangled FahCore update.

So, although your basic setup equaled mine, you didn't experience the error, but I did. Very strange..

If this works fine, then you can revert back to your original setup by doing a fresh installation.

Core 17 Beta will take about an hour and a half, before it's finish. But right afterwards, I'm going to try your suggestion and report back afterwards.

No lost lifeline, not a single error up until 10% - and since the initial error(s) happened way before reaching 5%, I assume the current "incarnation" of Core 17, version 0.0.52, is correct. Should I try and return to my previous setup? I don't want a WU mess being sent back to Stanford because of all these trial-and-error actions..

This is at least the second time I have seen moving the data location from a secondary drive back to the primary drive fix a weird problem. But I have also seen dual locations work as PX has shown again.

I also don't know why Eagle's X: drive location worked for so long and then stopped working. Maybe drives A through F work better, and G - Z have an issue?

davidcoton · Post by **davidcoton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:10 pm

I suggest that it was the core update that didn't like the data directory location. That could explain the timing in this case. But I don't know why, and I can't explain why it seems to work in other cases -- presumably there would be more reports if core updates always failed with a non-standard data directory.

You might be in luck since I haven't folded on my laptop with V7, only the Folding App. Thus, the cores haven't updated. I can start-up V7 and monitor it to see if the issue is replicated or not.

That's good news. If you do want to return to your previous set-up, set the slot to finish and once all WUs are completed, you can perform a fresh installation (remember that during uninstallation, select the option to delete the data) and hope for the best. To avoid burning through WUs, what you can do is once you start-up folding on the new set-up, simply select the Slot, right-click it and select Finish. Thus, if it errors out, no new WU will be downloaded. If it finishes successfully, it means that you can keep the set-up and fold happily.

Sorry for the late reply, but I had personal issues to deal with and I also wanted to get reliable results.
Now, let's get right to it:

FAH finished and was removed completely (including the folders on the X: drive) afterwards. I then rebooted my machine, installed FAH via the freshly downloaded installer (with the data directory being on the X: drive again) and configured it like this:

Code: Select all

20:30:23:<config>
20:30:23:  <!-- Network -->
20:30:23:  <proxy v=':8080'/>
20:30:23:

20:30:23:  <slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
20:30:23:</config>

As you can see, I didn't enable advanced and/or beta folding. However, right after installing I did notice these two changes:
1. Right-clicking FAH's Systray-icon opened the context menu right away and at the icon's position - previously, it took about 1-3 seconds and it opened at the cursor's position (wherever I moved it to in the meantime).
2. Although no beta (i.e. FAH 0.0.55 right now, IIRC) was requested and it did download 0.0.52, I received (and still receive) the temperature line:

Code: Select all

WU02:FS01:0x17:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900

Since FAH folded for a while now, I don't understand why it folds with 0.0.52 again (using the same program and data location prior to the "single drive test") without the previous error?!

It would be great if you can do so.

PantherX wrote:That's good news. If you do want to return to your previous set-up, set the slot to finish and once all WUs are completed, you can perform a fresh installation (remember that during uninstallation, select the option to delete the data) and hope for the best. To avoid burning through WUs, what you can do is once you start-up folding on the new set-up, simply select the Slot, right-click it and select Finish. Thus, if it errors out, no new WU will be downloaded. If it finishes successfully, it means that you can keep the set-up and fold happily.

Thanks for all those handy tips. They're all appreciated and being followed.

Results were/are as described above.

Although I'd like to investigate this to the point of "total clarification", I do want to take a break here and thank you guys for helping me out and guiding me to a point where my FAH setup returned to its desired state. Thanks a lot!

If I can be of any further help, please let me know!

Humm, that was fixed in V7.3.7 (https://fah.stanford.edu/projects/FAHClient/ticket/994) which meant that once you installed V7.4.4, you should have gotten the proper version.

Eagle wrote:...2. Although no beta (i.e. FAH 0.0.55 right now, IIRC) was requested and it did download 0.0.52, I received (and still receive) the temperature line:
Code: Select all
WU02:FS01:0x17:Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900
...

That is expected since it was a new feature introduced to Windows only version 0.0.52.

Sure, might have to schedule it for the weekend (at the earliest) so I can monitor it. Will post the results here once I have completed the test.

That's strange, because I do swear that I've experienced it with 7.4.4.

Regarding the message: but I've never seen it before the advanced/beta try, although FAH was already at version 0.0.52 back then?!

Alright, I'll wait then. But please note that just after posting yesterday, the error returned just today:

Version numbers of FAHClients, of a Linux FahCore_*, and a Windows FahCore_* are independent of each other. Last I checked, the latest Linux FahCore_17 was 0.0.46, the latest WIndows FahCore_17 was 0.0.52 (0.0.55 is being tested) and the FAHClient was 7.4.4. Each one can be updated independently and presumably work with unmodified versions of something else. You're responsible for updating FAHClient. Periodically the FahCores update themselves automatically, depending on the requirements of the WU you're assigned.

It is understandable if you want to minimize data written on an SSD. However, it seems that unless you write several GBs of data everyday, a consumer SSD would last quite a while with normal usage (http://techreport.com/review/26523/the- ... a-petabyte). Pretty sure that F@H alone is no way close to writing that much data so it should be fairly safe.

I started up my GTX 675M and so far it is working fine:

Last I checked, the latest Linux FahCore_17 was 0.0.46, the latest WIndows FahCore_17 was 0.0.52 (0.0.55 is being tested) and the FAHClient was 7.4.4. Each one can be updated independently and presumably work with unmodified versions of something else. You're responsible for updating FAHClient. Periodically the FahCores update themselves automatically, depending on the requirements of the WU you're assigned.

You got me wrong on this. I had 7.4.4 installed right when it came out. About every 2-4 weeks, I check for a new FAH client package, because the client still lacks an auto-updater (no offense intended here, I'm patiently waiting for it).
However, AFAIR, the message of FAH 0.0.52 in question was logged _after_ I switched program- and data-directory onto C:, but _never_ before the switch, i.e. on the X: drive.

However, it seems that unless you write several GBs of data everyday, a consumer SSD would last quite a while with normal usage (http://techreport.com/review/26523/the- ... a-petabyte). Pretty sure that F@H alone is no way close to writing that much data so it should be fairly safe.

I know about reviews regarding the wear-leveling, even the facts that NAND flash from the Intel-Micron joint venture (I own a Crucial C300 with 256 GB) is considered to be (one of the) best in class with about 72 TB of data that can be written per cell before EOL and using a RAM disk for all temporary data, complemented by software-adjustments like no hard drive cache within Firefox, will greatly extend expectable lifetime of my SSD. But I'm a software architect/engineer, so I'm aiming for improvement - the CPU slot has no such issues, only the GPU one. That's why I do believe it's a bug and bugs can be fixed.

Regarding my FAH setup, I'm not happy about the SSD usage. Weeks have passed since the error's origin was found, but no fix was provided until now. However, I do respect all the people working on FAH and the fact their time is limited - which might be why they work on other issues right now. So, I'm only waiting for GROMACS to finish and then switch to the one-drive workaround until a fix is available.

Excuse my nit-picking question, but did it fold until 100%? I'm just asking, because mine went fine for about week and even on the first failing WU, it worked until 87% which, after a reboot, was "reset" to 85% (latest checkpoint) and then the client immediately died.

The FAHClient and FAHCores would seem to be in a feature freeze at the moment. This bug also has a low occurrence rate (a few) and has a valid workaround. It will get very low priority, unfortunately.

Over time, FAH may be switching to a new type of FAHCore, which may render this (and many other pending issues) a non-issue. Realistically, I would not expect this issue to be addressed in the current FAHClient, unless the bug was embarrassingly obvious and easy to fix. Entschuldigung.

I'm an optimist - I'm waiting for 7.4.5 / 0.0.56 then and if that doesn't work, well, Maxwell is coming..
Trotzdem danke, 7im!

It is still folding non-stop on the same WU of Project 13001 with the TPF of ~35 minutes. It is currently at 45% and folding (needs ~1.33 days to finish). Do you want me to reboot the system? If so, do you remember how you rebooted the system:
1) Exit FAHClient waited for sometime then rebooted the system
2) Simply rebooted the system without exiting the FAHClient

Also, how do you start-up FAHClient:
1) Automatically when Windows log-in
2) Manually via a schortcut

With the above information, I can have a better chance at reproducing your error and hopefully, find further similarities if not the root cause.
