Message 1793082 - Posted: 3 Jun 2016, 7:16:56 UTC - in response to Message 1792998.  

Do you know where your seti@home folder is?

If yes, then you are looking for the mb_cmdline_win_x86_SSE3_OpenCL_NV.txt

Left click and open with Notepad

Type in -use_sleep and save

Next time any mb start it should read that command. You can add other commands to that file but need to have a space between them.

Thanks Zalster, My i7 3820 cpu likes that, a lot, so far the cpu is at 6.5% and dropping, better than 99% any day.

Message 1793111 - Posted: 3 Jun 2016, 12:38:13 UTC - in response to Message 1793062.  

2) Do additional commands have to be on the same line or can they be listed sequentially on following lines?

yes they all have to be on the same line with a space between them, not listed sequentially.

3) Can you point me to the doc file (*.txt) that explains all this?

. . Thanks again

Stephen


That part I can't, but one of the others can. I only know that little part after TONS of help from Mike, Jason, Raistmer, William, Ageless, Richard and many others. Hopefully one of them can point you in the right direction.


. . Thanks again, you have been most helpful. Strange thing though since I added that command I haven't received a single CPU WU. I might remove it and see if that changes.

Check for a file called ReadMe_MultiBeam_OpenCL.txt.

The -use_sleep helps alot with CPU usage, adds about 1-2 minute total run time.

It's along with my expectations. VLAR task has less number of very short kernel calls. Actually, some kernel calss are too long to the point of driver restarts/lags on some configs. So, GPU can stay busy w/o CPU intervention long enough to allow "good sleep" for CPU :D
Recall that Sleep(N) works on ms scale (under Windows) while some of GPU kernels less than 1us and most of them less than ms. That makes -use_sleep quite clumsy in case of normal ARs and require tasks swithing to keep GPU at good busy level. And that;s why sleep calls implemented only around most longer kernel calls (leaving small ones unaffected). So if share of small calls increase -use_sleep becomes ineffective.


. . I have implemented the -use_sleep command and the CPU load has dropped far enough to permit returning to 3 CPU tasks instead of just two. Downside: SoG runtimes are up from 12-13 mins to around 20 mins. GPU usage is more sporadic in nature now which would account for the increase in runtime. Some messages have indicated using a parameter with -use_sleep implying it determines the length of sleep interval in mS. The doc file does not show it supporting any parameters. Is the use of a parameter supported or not? And if it is does the value relate to sleep interval in mS?

. . Problem solved, turns out that when I suspended the Guppi WUs in my cache, so I could test with like type of WUs over different settings, BOINC saw that as a halt to requests for new work. Timing is everything and mine sucks as usual, I discovered this as I was about to go out, so I was not able to investigate and resolve it until I got home, but sorted nicely now.

. . P.S. Note to self, when you have found the topic you wanted in a text document keep scrolling, there may be more and useful information further down.

. . Turns out there is a -use_sleep_ex 'N' command but it does not explain the value or function of 'N'. I set it to 1 as one message suggested but cannot say there is any appreciable difference.

Message 1793238 - Posted: 4 Jun 2016, 1:52:44 UTC - in response to Message 1779394.  

It's the GBT data that is requiring such large amount of CPU usage.

On normal MB, the SoG uses very little CPU time.

Actually, it's faster than cuda on nonvlar MB.

But it's main purpose is those VLARs.

So to crunch Guppi on GPU or not to crunch Guppi on GPU that is the question, lol....



. . Actually on my setup SoG runs slightly faster than CUDA50 on nonVLARs but still steals a CPU taking 100% of that CPU's time. But it takes only 30 mins for a Guppi compared to over 50 mins with CUDA50. This is with the sleep option OFF.

. . With sleep ON everything changes. CPU loads return to normal and I can again run 3 CPU WUs, BUT runtimes for nonVLARs blow out to 20 mins, significantly longer than CUDA50. Guppis much longer again. This is because GPU utilisation becomes sporadic and averages only about 30%.

. . To compensate I started running threesies (3 WUs at a time) on GPU. With nonVLARs this worked as anticipated and raised GPU utilisation to a good level, nonVLARs running in about 36 mins (12 per WU). BUT again Guppis are the fly in the ointment and Guppi runtimes blew out to 3Hrs 15-20mins. I am currently experimenting with -use_sleep_ex and the parameter, I have managed to increase the GPU laod cycle marginally but run times remain exagerated.

. . Normally I would say 1 cpu core was enough to service a GPU even running multiple tasks, but with SoG it seem to be more like 1 CPU per WU running (if you turn ON sleep that changes) and one for general admin/overflow would leave 4 free to crunch with. I wouldn't suggest running multiple GPU WUs with sleep OFF. But the proof of the pudding they say is in the eating.

. . I am running 3 CPU cores crunching and three GPU tasks under SoG (GTX950) but with sleep turned ON. The one non-crunching CPU core is coping well with that arrangement.

I need a command line for my gtx560m, it works fine when I don't use the -use_sleep option and running 2 WUs at a time, when I do use the -use_sleep option, it will only run 1 WU.

The command line I need is one the don't stress the laptop to much since I also use it for other things than SETI. Also, I don't run any CPU tasks.

This is what I've tried, but when I added -use_sleep, which I need, it will only run 1 WU instead of the 2 it should.

So add this to the comand line

-total_GPU_instances_num 2.

post a link to finnished task with those params so i can check.

It's not working, 1 WU runs fine but the other, while it runs, there's no progress at all. It's been running for 30 mins with 0% in progress and time remaining isn't moving.

There is known issue with -use_sleep on SoG app (see support thread).
Here is possible fix: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3X4g/HwEhUWHCE

GPU device sync requested...  ...GPU device synched

At the top the first red line suggest that d0 (GTX970) was selected but the end section (Used GPU parameters) the red line refers to GTX650Ti with 1GByte memory. So is the first line a mistake or what? I am not at that host currently so can't check from it. Browsing thru the returned WUs the line "BOINC assigns device 0" is on every stderr and none have "BOINC assigns device 1".

Edit: the color red doesn't show inside the [code] tags.

If "1" never shown what about app's device capabilities listing? Does it show sometime other GPU selected?

. . Hi Raistmer,

. . I hope I am not boring you with my attempts to tweak things but SoG has been running wonderfully with these settings:-

. . -use_sleep_ex 3 -sbs 384 -period_iterations_num 4

. . But the distinct lag/stutter effect was annoying me so I tried this change:-

. . -use_sleep_ex 3 -sbs 384 -period_iterations_num 5

. . This seemed to achieve a modest improvement in the lag effect but also caused a noticeable blow out in run times appearing to add around 15% to CPU and nonVLAR GPU WUs but more with VLAR/Guppies. Seeming to be about 50% or more. Most noticeable on bc5 Guppies.

. . I am returning to the -period_iteration_num 4
