WU still exiting

Post by lamy »

HI

I installed a new nvidia 5070ti and did a clean install of mint linux 22.1.

it completed its first WU just fine but...

22:12:58:I1:WU2:Completed 1250000 out of 1250000 steps (100%)
22:12:58:I1:WU2:Average performance: 69.6774 ns/day
22:13:01:I1:WU2:Checkpoint completed at step 1250000
22:13:13:I1:WU2:Saving result file ../logfile_01.txt

22:13:13:I1:WU2:Saving result file positions.xtc
22:13:13:I1:WU2:Saving result file science.log
22:13:13:I1:WU2:Saving result file xtcAtoms.csv.bz2
22:13:13:I1:WU2:Folding@home Core Shutdown: FINISHED_UNIT
08:31:56:I1:WU2:Caught signal SIGINT(2) on PID 1240
08:31:56:I1:WU2:Exiting, please wait. . .

its stuck on exiting

I've not been able o find a comparable problem thus far to refer to.

I'm currently on 2.522 billion points

any ideas?

How long has it been stuck on exiting? Does your process monitor show that it is using any CPU?

Try sending it SIGINT again. This might be a transient error.

Curiously the CPU based WU are fine it's something in the GPU units that will not finalise and send:

WU has done the work: 11:16:19:I1:WU1:Folding@home Core Shutdown: FINISHED_UNIT
and that is as far as the client has gotten with the GPU based WU

CPU based WU are fine and complete normally

I had been folding on an RTX2070 without issue. Am running mint 22.1

Did you suspend (sleep) the system at all while it was folding? Sometimes that can cause the GPU driver to get stuck which prevents the core from being released. That's probably not the situation here unless you set it to sleep right as it finished, but it's a guess.

Do they still stall even after a reboot?

HI

I leave the pc on 24/7 it never sleeps.

Is there a FAH beta beyond 8.4.9 that might be available to test out newer hardware under linux?

There is the latest https://github.com/foldingathome/fah-client-bastet that you can compile yourself which has newer code than the 8.4.9 tag, but it is untested and doesn't contain any code changes that would be relevant to the problem you're having anyway.

Someone reported problems with the bleeding edge build not connecting to servers.

I think some websocket api changes are not yet implemented in the node server.

Edit: I seems to be user1969 on discord that was building latest.
