Client only folds on "Full"

[h3ctic]

I did try to search this forum and Google for ideas on how to solve this - but I could not find anything.

I have a server (retired) with a couple of older xeon cpus and I installed the latest client. Problem is that I would like to have it fold at lower than 100% cpu but whenever I lower it to Medium or Light it stops folding.

What am I doing wrong?

[JimboPalmer]

The first 100 lines or so of your log would sure help answer questions like: What OS are you using, what version of F@H is running, are you doing CPU folding or GPU folding or both, etc.

I am unsure why you would ever choose anything but full on a server, but if you can show us what your PC setup looks like via the system portion of the log, we can try to make it do what you want.

[h3ctic]

Yes, ofcourse - my bad. I pasted it here:

Thanks for Your reply!

[h3ctic]

Oh, and I would like it to run on lower cpu due to it heating up and the fan-noise is unbearable.

[JimboPalmer]

I have not run Linux myself, let's hope an expert at that posts soon. I am not sure I saw which distribution you are using.

[h3ctic]

Its not Linux. Its Win 2012 Datacenter....

[Joe_H]

Looking at the log, you have 24 cores available at Full. Running at Medium will only reduce that by one to 23, a large enough prime to cause issues. No projects have WU's that will process at that setting. The Light setting should work, that should use half the available cores, or 12 which is usually usable. But the section of log you posted did not included anything related to that setting.

You did not post the first 100 lines of your log, that shows some important system and configuration information. You can include that in a post here, just enclose the log posting in Code tags available from the Full Editor for posting.

You can also manually set a core count using FAHControl. Valid counts are multiples of 2, 3 and/or 5.

[h3ctic]

Yeah, theres two xeons with 12 cores each. Running at Light changes the Folding slot and work queue status from "Running" to "Ready" and its not folding.

Ideally I would like FAH to "consume" about 50% cpu...

Im not sure which log to post...heres the one in user\appdata\roaming\fahclient

That is the working log for the core, the one for the client should also be there. Directions for locating the client's log file is located in the Welcome Topic, with directions for each OS. Or you can use the Refresh button on the FAHControl log display and scroll back to the beginning.

One possibility is that the Light setting has folding set to "On Idle", that would be waiting for user input to cease for a period of time before starting.

[bruce]

The log you posted does not include your system configuration, just the config file and the start of the log. It would be easier if we could see that, too. For example, I don't know what version of FAHClient you have installed.

Anyway, the slider actually provides very few choices and with a system like yours, you would have a lot more choices if you used the Advanced Control application (FAHControl).

Assuming you have 24 cpu cores and you want to use 50% of them, open FAHControl and select Configure + Slots + ...
You probably have just one slot listed on that page called CPU. Select it + Edit and at the top, there's a number of CPU threads. Set it to 12 + OK + SAVE

[h3ctic]

Thank you very much for your help. I did refresh and below is the logs first 100 lines or so.

The tip from bruce though; "FAHControl and select Configure + Slots + ...
You probably have just one slot listed on that page called CPU. Select it + Edit and at the top, there's a number of CPU threads. Set it to 12 + OK + SAVE"
seems to work perfectly

Server now uses 50% cpu (approx) and its WAY less noisy

Thanks!!!

PPD around 3000...isnt that a bit low though for this amount of cpu power?

Thanks again guys!

Code: Select all

PPD around 3000...isnt that a bit low though for this amount of cpu power?

The config that you posted on-line doesn't look like the same one posted above. Nevertheless, neither one seems to have a passkey. You will earn significantly more points after you get a new passkey, enter it into FAHControl + Identity ... and then complete 10* more WUs.

I expect that you'll be able to get a pretty good supply of WUs that work with 12 threads but if you start experimenting with slightly higher/lower numbers of CPUs, you'll really need to upgrade the FAHClient installation to v7.4.16-beta.

[h3ctic]

Im not sure what this means: "The config that you posted on-line doesn't look like the same one posted above." ?

I didnt get a passkey. I didnt think this mattered at all. I will get a passkey and leave it running and hopefully the PPD will pick up. Thanks again!

and the one pasted above shows

You may have more than one directory containing FAH Data.
The first one looks right except for recent changes.

[h3ctic]

I really dont know about those config differences, I just copy/pasted..

Anyways; PPD estimated now is approx 25000. Is this normal/low/high given the specs?

Thanks again for your help, everything seems just fine now!
