Not sure where to put this

[dickster]

I have a machine running Mint 17 and an AMD R9 280 GPU. Not running the CPU part out of the F@H control, just the GPU slot. It runs right up to 99.99% and freezes there. If I reboot it goes back to 43.xx% every time and runs back to 99.99%. It never finishes a work unit. Running FAH 7.4.4 control.

Log right after my last reboot.

Code: Select all

The protein is not running up to 99.9%; it is running up to 43.xx% and hanging. The code that predicts how much longer it will take to finish is clocking non-progress but it know just enough to stop at 99.9% in predicting further progress. (You cut off the part of the log which showed that. The previous log is saved and might be useful.)

Two other people have returned a partially completed Project: 11719 (Run 0, Clone 2035, Gen 133) as FAULTY so it makes sense for you to dump it.

It also would be helpful if you can look at the previous logs and find the one where the WU was assigned. Were there any error messages when it got past 40% the first time?

[dickster]

How do I delete the work unit? Where is the folder for the GPU client. Was thinking that if I emptied the folder and rebooted, it would search for a new work unit.

[bruce]

In Linux, open /var/lib/fahclient. In subdirectory work, you'll find this particular wu inside of another subdirectory called "00"
Note that the WU says it is :WU00:

You can also do it by running FAHClient with the parameter string "--dump 00"

Inasmuch as fahclient runs as a service, you'll probably need to restart.

(I'm not on Linux today, so I'm going from memory.)
