I may need some client config help in a VM

Post by PedestalTech »

Hey all,

I just created a fresh Windows 10 Pro x64 VM (ESXi hosted) and I'm getting really low WU performance. If anyone is familiar with running F@h in a virtual environment, I would welcome some tips.

16 vCPUs; 2 sockets
Backed by a Xeon Silver 4110 @ 2.10 GHz
The VM is allowed up to 9 GHz and it's using it all.
16 GB RAM
Opted for the bigadv flag
All cores are running at near 100% it is estimating about 20 hours to complete a WU with only 498 base credit. Does that sound right?

Welcome to the F@H Forum PedestalTech,

Please note that you don't need the bigadv flag... it was discontinued years ago.

Check the log and see if 3% of the WU is done or not. It is likely that FAHControl is providing an estimate where it assumes (due to lack of data) that the assigned WU will take all the time until the Timeout period to finish. Also, we would like you to post the log file here especially the first 100 lines so we can get a better idea of the system and the client configuration. Guidance is provided here: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036
ETA:
Now ↞ Very Soon ↔ Soon ↔ Soon-ish ↔ Not Soon ↠ End Of Time

PantherX, thank you for jumping in! Below is the log from the VM. I noticed "ERROR:Receive error: 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine." repeating after each step is completed...

After letting it run overnight, the current estimate is 13431 PPD (not sure if that includes any bonuses). The current WU with base credit of 1225 is at 50% with about 4 hours remaining until the ETA. I still see that error in the log.

Code: Select all

Re: I may need some client config help in a VM

Post by JimboPalmer »

As soon as you enter a Passkey, the client assumes you are getting the Quick Return Bonus. Actually you get the QRB after 10 Work Units with a 80% success rate.
So you may see higher estimates than the stats show for a bit.

Once it finishes sending, it should give the estimate.

Right, so without the estimated bonus, why is this VM with 16 cores at 8 GHz performing about half as well as my laptop with only 8 cores at a burst of 3.6 GHz? Is this just expected with VM overhead?

You VM is limited to the speed of the actual CPU providing compute capacity, it is not running at 8 GHz. There is overhead involved as well. So your VM is actually running at 2.1 GHz. Each of the 2 Xeon processors indicated in your first post provide 8 CPU cores and 16 threads total through HT. Depending on how the host OS distributes the virtual thread over the physical processors, you may be running into NUMA issues.

The CPU speed makes sense. The VM is reporting to be using upwards of 2.10 GHz, but I will assume the actual usage reads that way in ESXi because the host hardware needs that to support all 16 cores at 2.10 GHz. That makes sense in my head. lol What can I do to further investigate?

When you say its allowed 9ghz is it count that as 4 threads at 2.1 or 9 threads 1 each? Sounds like it may be limited to the performance of a 4 core cpu. If so that may be all the speed you get. I've never played with vm's before so no idea, just guessing.

My suggestion would be to try processing on 8 CPU threads. The host OS should be able to schedule the VM to run on just a single processor and utilize just the main CPU core for each thread instead of sharing the FPU using HT.

The 10053 errors in older versions of the client were coming from the connection with Web Control not being closed properly. Is Web Control running in a browser through the same VM? One of the defaults is to launch that when the client is started, that can be turned off.

Essentially, we tell the hypervisor to only allow the VM to use up to xGHz to avoid it greedily consuming all available resources. The process is a 2.10 GHz chip, but the VM itself can utilize up to 9 GHz from the host to run all of the vCPUs.

Thanks Joe_H. I reduced the VM down to a single socket with 8 cores. I'll let it run for a while and see when the PPD levels out. I wasn't using the Web Control, only the advanced client but maybe the browser had a hung process even though I closed the application. I did notice that the Advanced Control client would periodically go blank and read "connecting" every so often. That may coincide with the errors in the log. Now that I rebooted to make the CPU change, I'll keep an eye out for that error. Maybe I just needed to turn it off and on again. I also removed the bigadv option as noted by PantherX.
