Project 16575 Chrushing GPU 18hrs low points

[SandyG]

Just picked up project/WU 16575, show about 18 hours to process on my RTX 3070, the GPU is going full till, but when looking at points for the processing it shows just about 379,490 for hammering the GPU for 18 hours! This is after about 22% of processing so I'm assuming estimates are good.

Feels like something is way off here, especially given how much processing this is taking. Is something up with this WU?

Right now only one GPU shows up on this project at LAR systems, that being a 3090. Points for that GPU seem much more in line with regular averages for the GPU. If the project in fact brings your 3070 down to the 500K PPD range, there is certainly a chance something is strange with the project.

It might be worth checking your logs for the number of steps. It's my understanding that recently another project went out and some of them were misconfigured for lesser steps than was the target, and it tossed the PPD way up. I'm assuming the inverse could happen as well. Once finished you can also check for trends on the work unit status page and see if the trend seems to impact a lot of generations before and after the one you have. Noting the specific Run, Clone, and Generation here might also help anyone who looks into it.


BTW with your newly added GPU's working, your contribution has become quite impressive to say the least.

I took a look at the log, and forgot to mention that I saw one older result from my 3060 card on one machine that looked about 500k points but not 18 hours, can't remember what the time was but something like 8 hours.

In looking at the logs (windows machine) it looks like this as the last entry, still processing this morning

Code: Select all

16:12:55:WU01:FS01:0x22:Completed 987500 out of 1250000 steps (79%)

Possibly the laptop 3070m is causing a huge difference, but I think in all cases the laptop is above or at par with the rtx3060's

And yeah, once moving the GPU's off a mining motherboard with the since lane adapters, things started to move with processing. I think moving them to a server motherboard and linux really helped. I have once more slot with a 3060 to move over from the mining board to a full lane PCI on the other, was waiting for a cable that I just got, and some time. Will swap that out for a 4090 once prices dip at some point. Finally shut down all the smaller intel Linux Brix computers as they were not doing much but making heat

Having fun at it all too

More, the Linux box with the 4090 just completed a WU from project 16575

So the 4090 cranked this out in 1.44 hours with huge points, doesn't make sense that it's that much faster. Points might be high because of bonus. Maybe it's all good, but seems off on the 3070. Maybe GPU memory has something to do with it since the 4090 has a ton more, not sure.

From the logs on the linux box (rtx4090 got the wu) (not sure if I captured anything helpful

Hard to say what is going on with the 3070M. None are showing up for that project on LARS website, but all other GPU's listed seem to be in line with normal PPD returns.

https://folding.lar.systems/projects/f ... e/16575


The slowest 3070 mobile they list in the GPU rankings has an average of 2.8M PPD. Looking at the specs, it doesn't seem it should have any real bottlenecks through memory speed or such. It might be worth using GPU-Z logging on that GPU to see if it shows any strange behavior out of line with similar hardware.

At least it appears for now to just be the one GPU. Still a mystery though.

Here is the start of the log copied out of the FAHClient on Windoze. I can't seem to copy out the 'System Info' tab for some reason, only the log. You may have been looking for the linux configs. That I can get. Next post...

Also note from above, I do not process on the AMD GPU, I think that is slot 2. I delete that slot after start up so it does not do any processing, just the CPU and 3070m

This is the Linux config, this has the following GPU's
Slot - CPU
Slot 1 - RTX3090
Slot 2- RTX 4090
Slot 3 - RTX 3090


This is the config from the linux box, seems to be doing just fine, it's the Window's that seems to be showing issues with this WU and possibly others from the 165XX group. But really not sure. Since I could not get the FAHClient to run on the newest version of Mint, I had to hand assemble this from the startup information in the log. Again, I have not seen any issues running on the linux box, only the Window's 11 with this particular patch of WU in the 165XX projects that all seem to come from one researcher. May not even be a problem, but seems like something is off.

Okay that's the first error that needs to be fixed.

Open Software & Updates and proceed to the Additional Drivers tab > (wait for the choices to populate) highlight the drivers you want to install. If they are already installed then proceed to the next step .... otherwise Install them (usually says "tested" but I've not used Mint, just ubuntu", & reboot
Open a Terminal and copy/paste the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

You should reboot afterwards so the kernal recognizes the change.
Now copy/paste the lines from 22:20:39 starting with OpenCL until the config section(ie the lines I quoted above).

There may be more changes to make but let's start by fixing opencl for now .... even though you're using cuda opencl must be installed correctly.

Your windows log does show opencl is installed so the above is all about the linux setup. Also, a 3070m is not going to perform as well as a desktop 3070. It will be slower, maybe 90 % of the desktop assuming it's not overheating.

On my 3070m I'm seeing PPD of ~1.1 Million on a 16574 .... unfortunately I have no history for 16575.

It appears there's a bit of confusion in this thread .... perhaps you could make a post summarizing the setup you're having a problem with & include the System & Config sections for that system.

And as to the confusion on the thread, the Linux thing was something not really related to why I made the orig post.

The thread was started because I saw a really long time estimate with a really low points for the 16575 WU on the 3070M on my windows laptop. I saw 18hrs to complete, where a recent completion on another machine with a RTX3060 card did the run in about 8 hours, not 18 like the 3070m. Seemed odd like something was off. The 3070m I'm running is in an Alienware AMD laptop with the CPU only running 8 cores for FAH. 3070m in the laptop always seemed to perform around or better then the RTX3060's.

Otherwise, more of a heads up with odd numbers on these 165XX WU's. I see some crazy numbers posting on the 4090 and 3090 cards but not sure if they work OK with these WU's. Like over a million in a very short period of time as mentioned above.

Okay, it looks like the opencl issue is looking better now.

When looking at the PPD estimate on FAHControl don't bother looking until the percentage is at least 3% as the software may not have enough info to give an accurate prediction before then.

GL and feel free to post your questions .... remember we are just folders trying to help so we may need a bit of time to get to the root of your problem.

Thanks again for taking a look. I always wait until way past 5% before looking for the number, these 165XX ones are just odd.

Great support group here too, helped me get off the mining motherboard onto something that works the cards a lot harder then the way I thought about how I was putting the computer together.

Just need some better prices on the 4090''s, which have not really budged...
