fah-client 8.4.9: HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE ("No appropriate assignment")?

[muziqaz]

like in default group "gpu only + zero cpu" and cpu group "desired available cpu cores, minimum 3 cores"?

yes

[toTOW]

Do we still have enough WUs available for 3-4 thread CPUs ?

We rarely made exclusions for 3-4 threads cpus. So, yes

[nada391]

like in default group "gpu only + zero cpu" and cpu group "desired available cpu cores, minimum 3 cores"?

yes

the problem seems not entirely solved this way, now after completing the task default group with GPU only is stalling while CPU is still running WU (and maybe will stall upon completion?)

strange thing is that ion same pc with same hardware but with ubuntu server the pc would get job uninterruptedly so maybe this is a windows thing only? could also be the windows server software somehow blocking the WU after completion.

There might not be work available then

[nada391]

There might not be work available then

thanks, because there is no work available, or just not for such the under-dimensioned GPU?

or is FAH over-provisioning?

[daiko]

FYI, I am running several machines for CPU-only work, and they are regularly receiving and then returning completed WUs with only 3 CPU threads provisioned. So it doesn’t appear to be a problem of availability.

"Retry 217" tells me that the client has been running for quite some time. Try restarting the service. My guess is it will work. I seem to recall an issue where changes to resources while stuck in "assign wait" don't always take effect until a restart of the client.

Hello , it is still happening;

how do you that "restarting the service" on Windows? do you mean "killing" the process completely in task manager and then restart it by clicking on fah icon on windows desktop?

EDIT: did just that, now it would "restart" both CPU and GPU tasks, however, i am getting 100% CPU workload although i have chosen only 3 out of 4 cores available?

https://ibb.co/6Rc4vg0R
https://ibb.co/yBpg2tnY

it seems however, it is not viable solution to restart every time after GPU completed one WU only. This has to be Windows somehow issue, since it seem Ubuntu not affected, even if GPU and CPU are not being assigned to different resource groups. also on a PC running Windows 7 with the same GPU transplanted, the folding would get continuous jobs (at least it did last time i tried).

[arisu]

It is getting 100% workload because GPU folding on Nvidia runs a single core at 100% to "feed" the GPU. So only three cores are folding the CPU task and one of the three cores is feeding the GPU, but it adds up to all four cores running at 100%.

[enroscado]

Same here, it has been happening for over a week now.

Out of 12 GPUs, 7 have been retrying to download WUs for days with no luck.

I do not know if it is related or not, but on https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats I can see that Assignment servers 1 and 2 are showing errors. Could it be related?

[arisu]

And what GPUs are those 7? There is a temporary shortage of work for high-end GPUs.

[enroscado]

4080, 4080 Super, 5080, 5090.

[arisu]

Those are all very high-end GPUs. There is a temporary shortage of projects for those GPUs. The internal team is aware of it and it is being worked on.

The error will resolve itself automatically once the shortage is over, so you can just leave them as they are.

[daiko]

Perhaps related to this assignment issue—All five of my Macs running CPU WUs are currently getting the same SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE message after successful uploads. This began about 90 minutes ago. All are set to use between 3 and 8 performance cores. Have the assignment servers run out of appropriate CPU WUs, or is there some problem with them? My network has no other problems that I can see.
