If you post your log (including top 200 lines or so with the system configuration) someone might be able to help you diagnose why you GPU isn't working - it may be servers are busy, but in may be something in your setup ... See viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036 for help on posting logs ... You previous crop of the log showed "GPUs: 0" which may be an issue (but I may be wrong) as mine shows this type of thing:

Code: Select all

I'm a newbie at this, but it appears you now have a recognized GPU which is simply not getting an assignment. With the huge influx of new folders, this is not uncommon. Often people don't pick up a WU for days, though I've had waits no longer than 10-12 hours that I've noticed.

I'd just leave it running as is for now and hope that it picks up a WU. If I'm incorrect about any of the above, someone with more experience will hopefully come along and correct me.
Fold them if you get them!

To troubleshoot really need the head of the log with the system details, should look like ... but I guess that is effective what you have cropped into previous post ... the bit I think is missing are the 2nd and 3rd lines (obviously relevant to your GPU):

the log shows there is no recognised GPU. What is the card and what drivers are installed?

It looked to me like a configuration change was saved after the initial header.


The end of the log showed:


10:59:59:WU02:FS01:Connecting to 65.254.110.245:8080
10:59:59:WARNING:WU02:FS01:Failed to get assignment from '65.254.110.245:8080': No WUs available for this configuration

(bolded by me)

As I said, I'm "new" to this again, so subject to correction. I thought it showed that a configuration change worked and there was now an available GPU.

Good catch … I scanned the latest but missed that … so it looks like all might be ok now and just possibly server load … maybe I was just jumping at shadows - have seen a lot of misconfigured GPUs recently

Re: Not getting any WU

On increasing the number of steps of WUs:

With the info from the admin, the amount of network traffic out from the servers would be less (WUs the same physical size, but take longer to compute, thus WUs sent out of server less often, thus less network traffic going out of servers). Also less connections to servers at one time.

fewer connections that transmit larger results back to the server; fewer connections at one time is easier on server harddrives, the harddrive needles jump around less so throughput to storage is quicker. More connections are less efficient and slows server down (more time spent on needle jumping then writing). (unless the servers are all SSDs)

While many connections that transmit small amounts of data, reminds me of denial of service attacks. The server is overloaded, and can't do anything.

my two cents anyway.. *shrug*

Define "small". The returning WUs can be 10s of MB, to over 100 MB each. Double the number of steps, the file size grows as more intermediate data needs to be included. Right now that data gets buffered in the server RAM before getting transferred to drives.

That GPU is supported as it has OpenCL 1.2 and Double Precision support: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/g ... 920m.c2646

However, it is a mobile GPU so please ensure that it can fold the assigned WU before the Timeout date. This may mean that you might have to leave your system folding on the GPU 24/7 to meet the deadline. Feel free to experiment and report back :)

How do I ensure that?

I have left my laptop folding on CPU for the last 48 hours. So far, no available WUs for my GPU.

I would reboot my FAH computer about this time of (night, depending on your timezone). A certain percentage of computers in the USA are switched off for the night so I've been able to get WUs around this time when I couldn't for the previous 14 hours.

Also, rebooting occasionally does improve your chances. One of the enhancements that we can expect in a soon-to-be-released new client will contain an improvement for this condition.

Re: Not getting any WU

Post by kaz011890 »

Sorry i have another question.

Is there a way or a code to download a new (maybe more than 1) WU before completing the WU that the GPU is currently working on?
I know the servers are overloaded right now and it doesn't have much storage or bandwidth to upload and download all the data from the computers from around the world.

So is there a way that i can download multiple WU units at a time and complete them and keep that completed data stored on my computer for the time being until the server is ready to download all the data?
Maybe im 100% wrong but this could maybe take some of the strain that the servers are experiencing right now

So I have a 2080 Ti but I notice my system is busy anywhere from 0 to 30% of the time. Also it seems sometimes I will not get any WU unless I reboot. This is new behavior since the WU shortage. Is there anything specific I can check ? I've considered reinstalling the client. Previous daily averages were trending to 4,000,000 +

Re: Not getting any WU

There's a setting in the client that allows you to TRY to download the next Wu before the current WU finishes. The only help it can offer is to start trying sooner. If the servers are saturated, you get to find out about that just a little sooner.

No.

FAHClient is designed to prevent you from caching WUs. If you could, it would destroy your bonus because you'd be holding WUs longer than necessary and ultimately would delay the completion of active trajectories.
