Folding Forum

Posted: **Sun Aug 28, 2016 7:48 pm**

I have the folding@home client installed on my computer and have been folding on the CPU slot without problems. I wanted to fold on the GPU and added a GPU slot from FAHControl. Since adding and starting the GPU slot, I keep on getting bad work units. What happens is the WU downloads, folding starts and core shuts down immediately, and then the WU is returned.

I am using a HIS 5750 GPU with the open source driver

What could be causing this and how can I correct it?

I assume for AMD cards the same is valid as for nVidia cards: use originally driver. They bring all you need.
Give it a try, it should help.

Posted: **Mon Aug 29, 2016 3:46 am**

I looked up the results for the three WUs you reported.

Project: 13500 (Run 1, Clone 894, Gen 1) -- reassigned once (so far) producing a second error by someone with an ATI GPU.
Project:9177 run:23 clone:7 gen:0 -- not yet completed by a re-assignee.
Project:13110 run:39 clone:0 gen:240 -- reassigned and successfully completed by someone with a nV GPU.

Core_21 works best if the GPU has at least a minimal ability to do double precision floating point. Juniper is reported to have that capability. I can't think of another reason why there should be a difference between the one successful completion by a nV GPU and a failure by an AMD GPU.

Somebody from Development will need to ascertain what kind of problem you've encountered and whether it is related to the differences between ATI and nV GPUs.

I'm not sure if the open source driver driver contains all the necessary code. Which driver revision is it? Have you tried downloading the latest version for that GPU from the AMD website? That often solves problems like that.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with the open-source radeon driver:

Code: Select all

xserver-xorg-video-ati                1:7.7.0-1
xserver-xorg-video-radeon             1:7.7.0-1
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64                 11.2.0-1ubuntu2.2
mesa-opencl-icd:amd64                 11.2.0-1ubuntu2.2
ocl-icd-libopencl1:amd64              2.2.8-1

The old closed-source Catalyst drivers are no longer supported on new Linux kernels, and will not run in Ubuntu 16.04 or later.
The new hybrid open/closed-source AMDGPU drivers don't work with any of the current AMD APUs (which all have 2nd-gen GCN graphics; the AMDGPU driver has only "experimental" support for 2nd-gen GCN, but I haven't been able to get the driver to even load).
So, the only option here is to use the open-source radeon driver.

The opencl test program from here works fine: https://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo

Please try the Fah opencl tester called Fahbench.

I am having the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 using the radeon driver for a 7950 and 270(x?) GPU, Hawaii and Tahiti. They say, ready, switch to running, then back to ready, and failed after a few attempts. Looking at output from FAHclient this seems to be the issue:

That was after setting Core21, I had previously tried with it set to -1 but I think it was still using 21.

I don't understand.

You cannot select which FahCore_xx is going to be used. Each project download will select the FAHCore software will be used (-17/-18/-21 for the GPU, _a4/-a7 for the CPU)

The number of CPU cores can be allocated up to the number present on your hardware --- and the -1 setting means the software should pick a desirable value (although FAHClient V7.4.4 doesn't do a very good job if you have 8 CPUs and one GPU.)

The ERROR:Bad platformId size. indicates a problem with your GPU drivers. You didn't include the top 100 lines of your log, but if you're running Windows 10, Microsoft has probably removed driver components that are essential to FAH. Reinstall the driver from AMD.com (or NVidia.com).

I said in my post Ubuntu 16.04 using the open source radeon driver. My GPUs (or at least one of them) isn't supported by the new AMD GPU PRO driver for Ubuntu, so I'm stuck with Radeon; they're actually Curacao and Tahiti chipsets, not Hawaii as I said in original post. Is there any way to use or plans to support the Radeon open source driver for Ubuntu?

Posted: **Sat Nov 05, 2016 3:45 pm**

Integrated GPUs (which are built into the CPU's chipset) do not perform well, even if you do manage to configure the right drivers (and that can be a challenge). Discrete GPUs (on an add-in board) generally have many more shaders and complete FAH results much faster. While the iGPU is fine to power a display, I don't think anybody would consider it for gaming or for folding.

In the past, I've configured a couple of AMD iGPUs, and while they may be able to complete FAH assignments, they rarely do so within the required deadlines so I end up removing the GPU slot and putting all the CPU resources toward CPU folding.

FAH really has two choices: They can officially drop support for low-performance GPUs or they can develop a family of projects that makes use of them and give them longer deadlines and commensurately lower points. I've been talking to them about adopting either of those approaches and it's not clear what they might do.

I think that's the main reason that they've never supported Intel's iGPUs ... adequate to power a screen, but not powerful enough for serious folding.

Fah doesn't support any drivers. The drivers either work for Fah or they do not work for Fah. Donors have recently confirmed the open source radeon driver doesn't work for Fah. Only the OEM Radeon driver works for folding.

Feel free to contact the providers of the open source drivers to request they support Fah.

I don't know where your OpenCL drivers come from, but it's not a supported OpenCL Platform : get your GPU drivers from your GPU vendor (AMD).

Just a note that FAH is not the only application where the AMDGPU-PRO driver isn't working for OpenCL. Also an interesting article in general in regards to performance.
