I get the below on multiple computers, from 5950x running Linux to 7B12 EPYC all with at least one from processor. This only started recently, no changes, they run for months at a time befor reboot. Below is a sample of the log:

I can't find the edit button. All are running linux cinnamon mint 19.2 all 2080TI video cards, 510 drivers.

Should show up as the left most button grouped at the top right of the post, symbol is supposed to be a pencil I guess.

I found it. And I may have found the problem. Based on my research, it said "slow cpus" well, a 5950x is not slow. BUT only allowing one thread out of 32 to service the GPU is NOT good when the other 31 are Rosetta@home. I suspended all Rosetta, until I verify its the problem, but then I have to find out how many threads the GPU needs (its a 2080TI on all 6 boxes I have had an issue on).

I am Number 28 world-wide on F@H !

And thanks Joe ! I don't know how I missed it.

The FahCore_22 process is single-threaded, afaik, and in top it should show 100% CPU usage (so take a single thread). Asides from that, it'd be good to have a thread reserved for the OS itself. The FahCore_22 process will show a nice setting of 20, which is the lowest priority. If the Rosetta processes have a lower nice (higher prio), it may explain that behavior. On my Linux folding rig, I have a script in cron to re-nice the process.

In /etc/crontab:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * *   root    /usr/local/bin/renice_fah.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

The script /usr/local/bin/renice_fah.sh itself (don't forget to make executable) - this will give FahCore_22 a higher prio than standard user processes, but not as high as the critical OS processes:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -ue

nice_to="-10"

### Get running core 22 process including nice
psline="$(ps -le | grep -e FahCore_22 | grep -v grep | tail -1)"
if [ -z "${psline}" ]
then
        echo "GPU core process not found"
        exit 0
fi
currentnice="$(echo "${psline}" | awk '{ print $8 }')"
if [ "${currentnice}" = "${nice_to}" ]
then
        echo "GPU core process already reniced to ${nice_to}"
        exit 0
fi
currentpid="$(echo "${psline}" | awk '{ print $4 }')"
echo "Re-nicing GPU Core process ${currentpid}"
renice "${nice_to}" -p "${currentpid}"

(edited because of rookie mistake; nice of 20 is lowest prio, -20 is highest prio, not the other way around)

It's not entirely true : the code feeding the GPU is single threaded, because there's nothing else it could do at the same time, but some parts of the core (the sanity checks and checkpoint writes) are multi-threaded.

In any case, the core shouldn't crash just because the CPU is loaded with higher priority tasks. An impact to performance would be expected if that happens, but it shouldn't crash completely. This sounds to me like either a bug in the folding core or the OS - if hardware stability has been eliminated as the cause.
