BAD_WORK_UNIT on fresh Ubuntu 18.04 & RX570

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:41 am

I'm trying to get a new machine up and folding. CPU slot is working fine. Can't get the GPU slot going. This is a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install with an RX570 and AMD 18.30 Drivers.

OpenCL seems to be OK: clinfo reports

Though fahclient complains:

03:43:25:     OpenCL: Not detected: clGetPlatformIDs() returned -1001

Nonetheless, if I create a GPU slot, it will find the harware and complain that it can't determine opencl_index. Setting that manually to 0 seems to make it happy, but all core_21 attempts result in "FahCore returned: BAD_WORK_UNIT (114 = 0x72)"

Code: Select all

Post by **bruce** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 7:06 am

Unfortunately, "BAD_WORK_UNIT (114 = 0x72)" doesn't really indicate the cause. The first thing to check for is whether the GPU is producing accurate calculations -- i.e.- not overclocked/overheated, etc. though there are a lot of other possibilities.

In the case of project:11728 run:0 clone:661 gen:189, after your FAULTY result was uploaded, it was reassigned and successfully completed by someone else, so the WU, itself really isn't faulty. The other two have probably been reassigned, but they have not yet been returned.

What does FAHBench tell you?

Thanks Bruce, I has assumed the problem was on my end and not really a bad WU.

But this got me thinking. What about sudo -u fahclient ./FAHBench-cmd?

Code: Select all

Something went wrong:
Error initializing context: clGetPlatformIDs (-1001)

Now we're getting somewhere...

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 3:36 pm

User fahclient can't access OpenCL resources, even after trying this trick:
https://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo#Runn ... thout_sudo

fahclient can run xclock, so I don't think it's an X permissions issue. I'm hoping someone can point me in right direction on what to look at next.

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:05 pm

adduser fahclient video

fahclient can now run clinfo and FAHBench... but still can't fold on the GPU.

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 4:15 pm

And if I kill the FAHClient daemon process and re-start it with

sudo -u fahclient /usr/bin/FAHClient /etc/fahclient/config.xml --run-as fahclient --pid-file=/var/run/fahclient.pid

We are in business! So something about the environment at boot time is not right when the daemon is started and there is no OpenCL love until later.

I guess I'd better table this and get some actual work done today.

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Fri Nov 02, 2018 3:50 am

Back to looking at this.

FAHClient run as daemon can't access open CL - the "clGetPlatformIDs returned -1001" error.

But if I stop the daemon and do "sudo -u fahclient FAHClient ..." all works fine.

Any ideas on this?

Post by **bruce** » Fri Nov 02, 2018 6:20 am

I vaguely remember that there's an environment variable that has to be set so OpenCL can be found which apparently isn't being set in some cases. Maybe there's a way to have that variable initialized earlier -- before the daemon starts.

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Fri Nov 02, 2018 1:33 pm

Any idea what the environment variable might be?

sudo -u fahclient env -i FAHClient ... works just fine

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:41 am

OK, I think I've finally figured it out. For whatever reason, systemd (or at least the version on Ubuntu 18.04) does not get along with FAHClient's --run-as option.

Instead of the auto-imported FAHClient.service, I wrote a fah.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Folding@Home for Systemd
After=remote-fs.target
After=network-online.target
After=graphical.target
Wants=network-online.target graphical.target


[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/fahclient
User=fahclient
ExecStart=/usr/bin/FAHClient /etc/fahclient/config.xml --pid-file=/var/run/fahclient.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

Then disabled the former and enabled the latter.

Now FAHClient starts automatically at boot with access to openCL for GPU folding. I hope this is useful for anyone else who runs into this problem.

JimF · Post by **JimF** » Fri Nov 09, 2018 5:37 pm

Very interesting. I currently have an RX 570 on order, though not necessarily for Folding.
What sort of PPD do you get on Ubuntu?

tchiers · Post by **tchiers** » Fri Nov 09, 2018 8:22 pm

~350K PPD for just the GPU.

JimF · Post by **JimF** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:42 pm

Thanks, that is nice. I will be using mine mainly on Win7, but could put it on Ubuntu if the need arises. It gives me an option I didn't know I had.

csallen1204 · Post by **csallen1204** » Tue Nov 27, 2018 5:49 pm

I had this issue on both 18.04 and 16.04. Ultimately I fixed it by modifying the /etc/init.d/FAHClient script, changing the user from fahclient to root. In the Linux amdgpu documentation it says that any OpenCL user needs to be added to the video group in /etc/group to grant access but even after doing that I still got errors that the client couldn't get access to the OpenCL devices.

Has anyone seen this issue before and was able to tweak the fahclient user's privileges to fix this without resorting to running the fahclient as root?
