But what I am saying is that the appname you are using is now not recognized anymore. I assume you got the app at some point by using the stock BOINC installation and that is one of the apps that the scheduler sent you. And how you were able to put that app into the reference gpu apps in BenchMT. But it does not bode well that that app has 0 production currently. Maybe that app has been deprecated.

But unless somebody can figure out where that app is in on BOINC server through the fanout, I don't know if that app even exists in the scheduler database of apps that it considers valid for trying out.

not sure what <main_program/> is, but it's missing parent tags. maybe that's breaking it.

edit, nevermind, self closing tag syntax.

what does the event log say at startup? does it complain about the app_info file?

are the permissions set correctly on the new app?

Are you sure that is even the correct SAH gpu appname? When I look at the list of applications, the only app with that name has 0 GigaFLOPS of production. That would lead me to believe the app never was released regardless of it existing in the list. I do see an a 8.22 (opencl_ati_sah) app that has 9 GigaFLOPS of production. I would think that at least exists in reality and is in use.

That's a good question. Does BOINC simply ignore the HT cores since the count moves the host beyond 100 cores. Or do you have to disable SMT for BOINC to even work?

I have a new build using Rome 7702P with 64 cores up and running, Nexon . With no GPU, it is producing about 120K per day. Averages more than 1 WU per minute. I plan to add a Vega20 card over the weekend. This will not be a dedicated cruncher, as I have built it for an analytics project I am working on, but I will turn it over to SETI whenever it is not being used.

It runs out of work very easily. I hope that we will soon see more flexibility in max CPU work to download as core counts increase.

I guess you have disabled SMT?

Have anyone reported some struggles with 3700X (Zen 2 series overall)
My 3700x started to reboot sporadic and only got worse and worse.
It started with a reboot in Ubuntu, tried to get it going, got it to work but then it was the same in Windows too, sporadic reboot.

Noes! :-/

(EDIT: When i installed my 2700X again all seems peachy, to be continued with the tests)

I went back up and looked at his benchmarks and still couldn't really make heads or tails of them. The "average cpu time" seems to be too high.

Tom

What kind of temps did you see when running the AVX apps? Were they much higher than running the SSE variants? AMD is not declocking the cpu when AVX instructions run like Intel does.

Hi Rick,

today we configured an RX580 to BOINC on Linux Mint 19.1. clinfo works, BOINC utilizes the GPU, however, amdgpu-utils don't find the card.
amdgpu-monitor showed "No AMD GPUs detected, exiting..." num_amd_gpus must have been 0 there. I couldn't fully understand how gpu_list.num_gpus() is defined to check what it was looking for.

Being Linux Mint, the official driver doesn't install, so I used the extracted OpenCL parts from AMDGPU-PRO 19.10. I'm doing that on Ubuntu 19.04 as well, there the tools work without problems.
What are you checking in that moment, where does that data come from?

Thanks!

OK, I don't know why I didn't think of this before. You should look at RueiKe's hosts. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=10276073
He runs exclusive AMD/ATI gpu hardware including older Radeon Fury, Vega64 and Vega VII gpus. If you look at the times for his gpu tasks on his various hosts, he is running MB tasks in 3 -5 minutes.
If you look at his stderr.txt outputs for his tasks you can garner some of the settings he is using in his MB tuning command line parameters. Some of his threads are here.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=82949#1936392

I see he has -hp and -high_perf in his command line but I don't see any instance of cpu_lock. So know that card can go faster.

 -v 1 -instances_per_device 1 -sbs 2048 -period_iterations_num 1 -tt 600 -spike_fft_thresh 4096 -oclfft_tune_gr 256 -oclfft_tune_lr 16 -oclfft_tune_wg 256 -oclfft_tune_ls 512 -oclfft_tune_bn 64 -oclfft_tune_cw 64 -hp -high_perf -no_defaults_scaling -cpu_lock -nobs -tune 1 64 1 4 -no_use_sleep

Implemented the --plot option for amdgpu-monitor. This will display plots of critical GPU parameters that update at an interval defined by the --sleep N option.
Errors in reading non-critical parameters will now show a warning the first time and are disabled for future reads.
Fixed a bug in implementation of compatibility checks and improved usage of try/except.

Complete rewrite of commandline/config file option parsing. Original got complex and buggy.
Support execution and time/energy metrics for AstroPulse apps/wus. Still no working results comparison utility, so comparison to reference results not possible.

I am reworking all of the logic behind setting modes from command line and config file. Hope I can finish it today. I will let you know when it is ready.

Code on master is under development and won’t be usable until I finish this work.

Not a problem. One of my "native" talents has been to break code that was working for everyone else.....

After all. This is late ALPHA testing. If I could do this when several hundred people were using it reliably, then it might bother me.

:)

Think I have converged on an optimum AP command line with the benchMT tool.

Command line data is truncated in chart ...

That is what you should expect from a typo.

I want a SPELLING CHECKER for my command line!

Resuming BOINC

The results seem to imply I have my BenchCFG file set wrong.

Ok, what am I missing:

tom@LYNNE-JUPITER-L:~/Downloads/benchMT-1.5.0$ ./benchMT
BOINC Home Path [ /home/boinc/BOINC/ ] doesn't exist
Please set the correct BOINC Home Path with the --boinc_home command line option
boinccmd [ /home/boinc/BOINC//boinccmd ] doesn't exist
Error in environment.  Exiting...

It is not obvious what is going on here. Maybe it is an extra space before the pathname. If no, can you try specifying on command line? If it is an extra space, I need to modify the split command to deal with it.

OK, it didn't pick up my boinc_home statement in the Bench.cfg file either. I had to specify boinc_home on the command line for it to not complain.

#Specify path for BOINC
mode boinc_home /home/keith/Desktop/BOINC/
